Head Into Tomorrow

I'm a couple of days late on this tribute to Gary Neville from Graham Poll in The Mail, it includes little anecdotes of Poll refereeing him-
He was always working for his team's cause and could only ever see through his red-tinted spectacles. He never thanked me for a decision which went his way, just expected - no, demanded - each one.
But the best bit is this:
Sportsmen generally fall into two categories: those who want to play on forever and those who want to retire when at the very top. Think of Alan Shearer or Zinedine Zidane as examples of those who could easily have continued but wanted to go out on a high.
Now, let me try and remember how Zidane's last game went...

Yeah, he definitely went out on a high Graham...
