Gary Neville has branded Paul Scholes a "little b******" for joining in with an infamous chant that mocked him and his brother Phil.
Both of the Neville brothers and Scholes were part of the iconic Class of 92 that helped Manchester United to dominate in the Premier League. But that dominance also brought them abuse from opposition fans, with one chant in particular taking aim at the Neville's.
The duo had become mainstays of both the United and England teams when they travelled to Fulham for a match. And Neville has now revealed that it was ahead of that game that he first heard the iconic "If the Neville's can play for England" chant.
The former United skipper also took aim at Scholes as he recalled his team-mate had joined in with the Fulham fans. Neville posted a video on social media in front of the stand where he first heard the song, ahead of United's trip to Craven Cottage on Sunday.
"You see this stand here in the background there, that's the first ever time that I heard the shout. There's some bloke about 50-years-old with flat caps on, it was freezing and we were warming up," he said.
"And they started singing 'If the Neville's can play for England, so can I. If the Neville's can play for England, so can I. If the Neville's can play for England, if the Neville's can play for England'.

"And Scholesy was warming up with me and Phil, always did at right back down there in that corner, started singing along with them. Little b******."
Despite being on the receiving end of that chant, Neville was a mainstay of the England team for more than a decade. He earned 85 caps in total and featured at four major tournaments for the Three Lions.
Fulham also jokingly apologised to Neville for the chant, tweeting: "Sorry, Gary" along with the grimacing emoji. Scholes and Neville played alongside each other for 19 years for the Red Devils.
Together, they helped Sir Alex Ferguson's side to win 10 Premier League titles, three FA Cups and two Champions Leagues. Scholes' England career was much more frustrating, with the midfielder earning 66 caps before he retired from the international stage in 2004.
He also played in four major tournaments, but was frequently played out of position before his retirement.
Neville is set to fly out to Qatar to work as a pundit on this winter's World Cup, though Scholes will not be working for any of the major British channels. The duo do remain close though, with both of the former team-mates part of the consortium that owns League Two side Salford City.
