Wes Brown was not your typical flashy footballer with a big ego - even after rubbing shoulders with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United.

The former England defender came from humble origins and highlighted that during a recent interview when talking about his commute to training as a youngster.

'I had to get two buses, wait for one of the lads to pick me up in the car as I was walking down,' he told the Fore Four 2 channel. He revealed that his choice of commute was 'normal' to him - and that he had to explain to boss Sir Alex Ferguson that he couldn't afford a car or a taxi to get him to their facility.
