The studio was decorated with huge balloons, party poppers, and a custom-made cake to create a festive atmosphere.

"I know we have not spoke or seen each other for ages. I'm always thinking of you and always watching what you're up to and reading about you all the time. Happy 50th and I will catch up with you when I'm back in the UK or if you come to Portland to see your brother. Love you lots, miss you and have the most amazing birthday," said Phil Neville in his video message.

Following the emotional tribute, Gary admitted that he and his brother haven’t seen each other in over a year—a revelation that shocked Roy Keane.

Phil Neville is currently in the U.S., working as the head coach of MLS side Portland Timbers, while Gary remains in England, where he continues his role as a Sky Sports pundit.
