He attended De La Salle College in Pendleton, Salford and Liverpool University before qualifying as a solicitor.
An open-side wing-forward whose international career ran from 1971 to 1980, his 43 appearances for the England team were a record (subsequently beaten) at the time of his retirement.
He was one of four Broughton Park players in this side and was joined by teammates Kevin O’Brien at full back, Tony Bond in the centre and Jim Sydall in the second row.
[3] Neary was jailed for five years for theft in February 1998 after admitting stealing money from a trust fund of millionaire friend John Gorna.
