Manchester United's iconic Class of 1992-93 celebrated a very special anniversary as the players reunited to share memories of winning the very first Premier League title.
Wales stars Mark Hughes, 59, and Clayton Blackmore, 58, were among the Man United aces from yesteryear who gathered together 30 years on from that never-to-be-forgotten title triumph.
It was the first time United had won the league in almost three decades and kickstarted an era of total dominance under Sir Alex Ferguson.

One of the younger members of the team, Lee Sharpe, posted a photo of the reunion. Next to the picture was the caption: "Today's reunion, celebrating 30 years since we won the 1st Premier League not that I feel old @ManUtd."
The photo showed the retired stars as they are today, sitting on two rows of chairs. They, of course, look very different to their playing pomp.
Blackmore is in the back row, second from the left, and standing in between United skipper Bryan Robson and fellow midfielder Mike Phelan. Centre-half colossus Gary Pallister and Sharpe himself are also in the back.
Sparky Hughes is second from left in the front, next to strike partner Brian McClair, these days sporting a huge beard. Also there are Denis Irwin and Paul Parker.
Key figures such as Ryan Giggs, Eric Cantona, Peter Schmeichel, Paul Ince and Steve Bruce are not in the photo, but with the likes of Hughes, Robson and Pallister present there was still plenty of real Man Utd royalty.
Hughes banged home 15 goals that season to lead United to the title as top scorer. Next came Giggs, Sharpe and Cantona on nine apiece.

United were nip and tuck with Aston Villa for the title for much of the campaign, but went on to win at a canter and finished 10 points clear of their closest rivals.
Hughes, of course, went on to have a successful career as a manager, starting with Wales from 2000-2004, before moving into the Premier League. He has dropped down the divisions to take charge of Bradford City these days. He played close on 350 times for United, scoring well over 100 goals. A genuine club legend, loved for his no-nonsense style of play.
Blackmore featured in almost 200 appearances for the Old Trafford giants and played 39 times for Wales. He since went on to manage Bangor City and Porthmadog in the Welsh Premier League and was always a close friend of Hughes.
That season was also the trophy winning breakthrough year for their fellow Welshman Giggs, who featured in 41 of United's 42 league games and was named PFA Young Player of the Year.
