Gary Neville black No.2 Manchester United v. Arsenal match worn short-sleeved shirt, 2005, from the infamous tunnel incident, Nike, L, with crew-neck collar and embroidered badge inscribed MANCHESTER UNITED with STAND UP SPEAK UP badge, the reverse lettered G. NEVILLE, the sleeves with Barclays Premiership flashes In the match played on 1st February 2005 Manchester United defeated Arsenal 4-2, this fixture was famous due to the tunnel bust up between Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane. Viera headed Arsenal in front after 8 minutes, and Manchester United replied 10 minutes later from a deflected Giggs shot. 10 minutes into the second half United went in front courtesy of Christian Ronaldo who scored twice in succession. Silvestre received a red card with 20 minutes to go, but John O'Shea netted to give Manchester United all 3 points. The bust up before the game in the tunnel between Patrick Viera and Roy Keane began after Keane had heard what he believed was Viera attempting to bully Gary Neville and was played out in front of television cameras and has gone down in Premier League history.
