Does anyone have a video clip of what happened? I'd like to see what happened myself.

Don't have a video.
Neville was standing with the ball at the touchline while a substitution was taking place. A couple of people in the Everton Family enclosure (the same family enclosure where fans reported United players to the police last year for swearing) were shouting abuse at him and making the ****er sign. He dropped the ball and hit it with his left foot into the stand (weakly - it was his left foot remember).
I'm not making excuses for Neville but some of the abuse players get from fans is unreal. I don't know if I could keep my cool, but then again I'm not a professional footballer paid millions of pounds. He should have known better.
