Shrubbery tomfoolery at Neville Towers
England football star Gary Neville has had his new shrubbery vandalised only days after having it fashioned into the letters 'MUFC' to represent his club side Manchester United Football Club.
The Man U captain will have been dismayed this morning to find his pride and joy shrubbery has been defaced
to read 'MOFO' - derogatory ghetto slang - in what would appear to be a guerrilla gardening incident, rumoured to have been perpetrated by anonymous rival fans in the grounds of his £7m converted farmhouse mansion.
Local involvement has not been ruled out, since it has been reported that his neighbours were less than impressed by the topiary in the first place.
One local resident who declined to be named said "The property is somewhat imposing as it is, and the addition of the shrubbery spelling out the football club was just over the top."
The new look shrubbery has caused amusement amongst the diminutive rural Greater Manchester community.
"Besides, it looked a bit rubbish anyway.", he continued, "The alteration is a bit uncalled for, but I must confess to a smirk of amusement when I heard about it."
He dismissed the gravity of the incident.
"I don't think you can really call it vandalism though: planting shrubs? That's like saving the environment!"
