Salesman Neville offers job swap with BBC pundit

A radiator salesman called Phil Neville has offered to do a job swap with his football commentator namesake — after receiving abuse intended for the former defender on Twitter.

Phil Neville, from Hadleigh, Suffolk, began receiving abuse after the former Manchester United, Everton and England player came under fire for his commentary performance during England’s World Cup defeat against Italy.

Mr Neville received thousands of tweets — including death threats — to his online handle @philneville. The ex-footballer is on the social networking site as @fizzer18.
