'It's like he was getting strangled': Gary Neville's commentary colleague blames him for 'spoiling my moment of fame' with his 'unnatural' noises on the mic when Chelsea beat Barcelona

Commentator Alan Parry has blamed Gary Neville for ruining his 'moment of fame' by letting out an extraordinary noise during one of the most dramatic moments in Champions League history.

Parry was sat in the gantry of the Nou Camp with Neville to watch Roberto Di Matteo's Chelsea face a Barcelona side at the peak of their powers and widely regarded as one of the best teams of all time.

Chelsea had gone into the semi-final against Pep Guardiola's men with a 1-0 lead from the first leg at Stamford Bridge, but found themselves 2-0 down after 43 minutes - a misery compounded by John Terry's red card between the two goals.
