FORMER Salford City boss Anthony Johnson has recalled the first time he met Gary Neville… and it wasn\u2019t what you\u2019d expect. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Johnson was in charge at Salford from July 2015 until May 2018 alongside his partner and co-manager Bernard Morley. <\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The pair were hired by Neville and the rest of the Class of 92 soon after they\u2019d taken over the club. <\/p>\n

And they helped Salford secure promotion from the Northern Premier League North Division in their first season. <\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t something that Neville thought they\u2019d be able to achieve. <\/p>\n

Johnson recalls being stunned in his first meeting with the former Man Utd and England star when he told them not to worry about promotion. <\/p>\n

Speaking on the I Had Trials Once podcast, he said: \u201cWe were told by Gary on our first meeting, he was abroad and we had a Zoom call.<\/p>\n

\u201cScholesy [Paul Scholes] were there, Phil [Neville] were there, [chairman] Karen [Baird], me, Bernard, and he said \u2018don\u2019t worry about next season, get in the play-offs, have a good run, but find out what you want for next year, then we\u2019ll have a go at it'.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember thinking \u2018what the f*** are we doing here then? What the f*** are you talking about? Really? We won promotion from this league last year (with Ramsbottom), beaten Darlington three times\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson and Morley had a stunning stint with Salford, securing three promotions during their time with the club. <\/p>\n

But they ultimately left just a few days after they booked the team a place in the National League in 2019. <\/p>\n
