Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has been reflecting on his upbringing as a supporter and his role in the Red Devils' legendary 1999 Treble-winning season on the latest episode of the Manchester People podcast from BBC Radio Manchester.

United had already won the Premier League and the FA Cup when they faced Bayern Munich in the Champions League final in Barcelona.

Sir Alex Ferguson's side were 1-0 down heading into extra time but scored two dramatic goals through Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to turn the game around and become the first English team to win the Treble.

"When Ole scored the Champions League-winning goal and got back to the changing room, I remember saying to him, 'you have no idea what you've just done'," Neville said.

"A monumental moment in this club's history, and it'll never be beaten - the Treble, Sir Matt Busby's birthday, everything you could ever wish for in a moment and he was there to stick his toe out.

"I was there that night thinking - I know that my dream has been achieved. I'm always going to be a Man United player. No-one can ever take that away from me, I played on that pitch, United's first team.

"That's all I'd ever wanted to do as a kid, was step out on to that pitch wearing that shirt."
