Former Manchester United footballer Gary Neville made his debut on the TV show Dragon's Den, where he emotionally offered support to a Man City fan and was trolled by a contestant. Neville's business empire, valued at £100m, includes luxury hotels, restaurants, and a YouTube series. His appearance has attracted attention and praise from fans and fellow footballers, including Roy Keane. Additionally, the story highlights the success of other footballers turned entrepreneurs, such as Jota and a former Aston Villa player who invested in an agricultural technology company and is on the verge of becoming a billionaire.
