The series was aired on Sky and following the legendary footballers on a tour across the UK and Ireland.

Neville took the two football pundits to the house he grew up in for 11 years of his life, adding that he wishes he could “go back in time for a day and experience it all again.”

In an Instagram post, he said: “So today I went back to my foots for the Overlap on Tour. This is the house I grew up in for the first 11 years of my life. To go inside it again was a great thing to do and meet Lorraine who lives there now. The fireplace in the front room is still the same. Oh if you could go back in time for a day to experience it again. My nan and Bill living over the road, playing football and cricket with Phillip, my cousin, and friends opposite in the park. It would be so good.”

The trio took photos with staff at Stephen Street Chippery before crossing onto the nearby Whitehead Park to enjoy their lunches.

Some locals were quick to spot the stars tucking into their chips on a park bench, however, a couple said they were gutted to have missed them with another adding they walked the dog right past where they were sat and didn’t even notice.
