The logic behind the ad being banned makes no sense at all. The idea that Neville is particularly appealing and influential to under 18s is fucking mental.

Surely he’s no more likely to appeal to under 18s than other prominent football personalities who feature in betting adverts like Jeff Stelling, Micah Richards, Jamie Carragher, and Peter Crouch?

It’s part of the reason why other betting companies don’t use sportspeople to promote sports betting.
