Wheel Rotating whilst in neutral

[Swally]

Hi Guys,

I decided to put the punto mk1 up on the jack to have a look at the exhaust, imagine my surprise when after ensuring it was in nuetral the passenger wheel was rotating.
Would I be right in saying that this is some sort of clutch problem?
The wheel is rotating at a fair speed, you can't stop it with your foot.
The car is an 1999 60s on a T plate.

Would I be best punting this before it gets messy?

Cheers
