Manchester United legend Gary Neville has revealed manager Sir Alex Ferguson took the mick out of Liverpool's infamous white suits for their pre-match team talk ahead of winning the 1996 FA Cup.
He wrote in his new book, 'Red', being serialised in the Mail on Sunday: "The Liverpool team we faced in 1996 had talent but their professionalism wasn't close to ours at United.
"We would let our hair down but only on rare occasions when the time was right.
"They turned up at Wembley for the FA Cup final wearing shocking white suits, looking like they had done most of their preparations in the tailors.
"Their lifestyle even featured in our team talk.
"'Keep playing the ball around their area because David James will probably be waving at Giorgio Armani up in the directors' box,' the manager said.
"And he could claim, 'I told you so' when Jamo half-punched a corner from David Beckham to the edge of the area.
"Eric Cantona had been quiet by his standards, but he volleyed the ball straight through a crowded box.
"Perhaps those Liverpool lads have no regrets from their careers.
"I don't doubt they enjoyed themselves.
"But, at United, the time to party is when you've won something."
