THE takeover of Salford City FC by ex-Manchester United star Paul Scholes and his legendary “Class of ‘92” team mates has followed for a three-part BBC documentary.

The series, “Salford Dreams United”, follows Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and Gary and Phil Neville as they try to take the club from the Evo-Stik league to the top.

The 75-year-old club has an average crowd of just 150 a game and is mid-placed in the Evo-Stik League Division One North, eight rungs down from the Premiership.

The five soccer legends will be getting involved with every aspect of the club, from doubling the grass-seed budget to - in Phil Neville’s case - making the half-time tea.

The documentary will air later this year.
