probably not. Read the contract

The neighbour is no different to any other would be purchaser who comes
along offers you the full price and suggests cutting out the agent.

Indeed. But that doesn't really answer the OP's question.

As others have said, the starting point should be the contract. That
very probably defines "Introduced". And does so in broad terms so as to
cover any buyer who became aware of the property from the agent's board,
advertising etc. It also probably makes clear that they are entitled to
commission if they introduced (as defined) the buyer even if the sales
takes place [long] after after the contract is cancelled.
