When Declan Rice mentioned Prison Break as his favourite TV show, Manchester United legend Gary Neville expected T-Bag to be brought up.

Gary Neville hilariously pulled out his best impression of Prison Break character T-Bag after he told Declan Rice that Wayne Rooney called him that for “years.”

Theodore Bagwell, AKA T-Bag, was a white supremacist, murderer, paedophile and rapist who was housed at Fox River State Penitentiary in the hit 2005 TV show.

The villainous character, portrayed by Robert Knepper, appeared in all five seasons of Prison Break, the 2009 TV film The Final Break and a cameo in Breakout Kings.

T-Bag’s physical appearance has led to eerie comparisons with Neville, with the likes of Jamie Carragher and Piers Morgan firing cheeky digs on Twitter in the past.

Speaking to Rice as part of a 41 Q&A segment for Sky Bet’s The Overlap, Neville found the subject of T-Bag and Prison Break being brought back up.

When asked for his favourite TV programme, Rice responded: “Prison Break.”

The Manchester United legend continued: “You’re gonna come up with the joke about me now, aren’t you? Do you know they call me T-Bag?”

Rice asked Neville if people actually called him T-Bag, which prompted the 46-year-old former England defender to point out Rooney used it as his nickname.

“Yeah! Rooney called me that for years,” Neville responded.

Rooney took to Twitter in 2012 and hilariously made it clear why former United and England teammate Neville was called T-Bag.

“We call [Gary Neville] T-Bag because he is a ringer of T-Bag in Prison Break. For everyone asking,” he tweeted.

Rice, 23, continued by showing his admiration for Knepper’s character, who was often a thorn in the side of Prison Break’s leading duo Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows.

“Do you know what? He’s a great character, though. He’s a great character,” he said.

Neville, to his credit, hilariously mimicked one of T-Bag’s prison slaves and pretended to hold on to the inside of one of his pockets.

“Yeah, it is. I’m like that holding your pocket,” he said, before bursting into laughter.
