Ashley Neal (born 16 December 1974) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender. He is the son of the former Liverpool player Phil Neal. He is now a driving instructor and instructor trainer.[1]
On 26 September 1996, Neal was loaned to Brighton & Hove Albion. Two days later, he made his first league appearance in a 3–0 defeat to Northampton Town.
After a free transfer to Peterborough United, Neal made nine total appearances for the club. His first game for the club was in a 2–0 victory versus Preston North End. He made his first and only FA Cup appearance versus Dagenham & Redbridge on 6 December 1997. Major injury led Neal to an early retirement from the game.[1]
Retired from football, Neal now works as a driving instructor and YouTuber. His YouTube channel, where he analyses dashcam footage and gives advice on driving, reached 150,000 subscribers during December 2023.[2]
On 18 April 2023 Neal started a second channel called "Ashley Neal - Just Cycling". His aim is to spread a positive message about cycling. It mostly uses body camera footage of him riding his bike and as of 16th December 2023 it had over 5,700 subscribers.[3]
