Salford co-owner Gary Neville SKIPS club's biggest ever game away at Man City Salford City co-owner Gary Neville opted to miss the biggest game in his club’s history to go on holiday.
Neville, the former Manchester United defender who bought Salford with the rest of his Class of 92 team-mates almost 11 years ago, decided against watching the League Two team in their FA Cup third round tie at Manchester City.
Almost 5,500 Salford fans were at the Etihad to watch their side get thrashed 8-0 by Pep Guardiola's all conquering side - but Neville wasn’t one of them.
But Neville, his brother Phil and David Beckham decided not to watch Salford against the reigning Premier League champions.
And it only took eight minutes for Neville's decision to be partially vindicated as the four-time Premier League champions asserted their dominance to open the scoring through Jeremy Doku.
