Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt have been videoed celebrating furiously as their beloved Salford City stunned Notts County in the FA Cup.
The trio, as well as former United teammates Phil Neville and Ryan Giggs, all have stakes in the non-league side—as has been documented on a recent BBC programme chronicling their experiences as part-owners of the club.

However, surely none of the five—who all won the Champions League with Manchester United in 1999—could have expected their local team to have overturned their League Two opponents.
Buoyed by home advantage, Salford took the lead through former Sheffield United frontman Danny Webber, who scored just after the break, before Richie Allen made it 2-0 later in the second period.

Coincidentally, the Notts Co goalkeeper was Roy Carroll, who played alongside the Class of 92 at Old Trafford.
