MANCHESTER United footballer and Rossendale resident Phil Neville and his wife Julie now have a bouncing baby boy, Harvey James born at 1am yesterday.
The couple, who live in the former Diocesan Conference Centre in Burnley Road, Crawshawbooth, chose Harvey because they liked the name and James after Julie's grandfather James Killelea.
Julie, 26, started having contractions at home on Tuesday and was taken into St Mary's Hospital, Manchester, where Harvey was naturally delivered while Phil, 25, gave moral support.
Harvey was due on July 4 and mother and baby are doing well and they were expected to return home today.
