The quartet were back together to watch as their team broke into League Two for the first time with a crushing victory.

The Neville brothers, Beckham, Giggs, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes all own ten per cent of the team - who finished the season third in the league.

And they had plenty to cheers about too, as they took the lead after just 15 minutes of the game.

Emmanuel Dieseruvwe put Salford in front in the opening exchanges, before Carl Piergianni made it 2-0 shortly after the break.

NEV-ER BETTER

The goal sparked absolute scenes in the box as Gary Neville polished off his drink in celebration.

The ex-Manchester United star was in tears a week ago after Salford reached the final with a penalty shootout win over Eastleigh.

But he looked even happier on Saturday, as Ibou Touray made it 3-0 moments later with Salford all-but officially booking their place in League Two for next season.

Dieseruvwe got the Class of 92 brigade off the mark, coolly slotting the ball home from seven yards just 15 minutes in.

Centre-back Piergianni scored his 12th goal of the season with yet another super header, powering home from five yards out.

Incredibly, he is now Salford's second-top scorer of the season.

They say you make your own luck, but Touray made it 3-0 in fortuitous manner as his cross drifted to the fair side of the goal, thundered off the post and over the line to put Salford out of sight.

Jubliant Salford went on to lift the trophy and celebrated wildly with supporters as they drunk in every moment of their historic afternoon.
