The Welsh winger and English defender enjoyed much success together with Manchester United and they celebrated a special night with each other on Wednesday.
Giggs won the Premier League an extraordinary 13 times while Neville was a domestic champion on eight occasions.
The pair also both won the Champions League with Manchester United twice - in both 1999 and 2008.
They have now gone their separate ways with Giggs currently serving as assistant manager to Louis van Gaal at Manchester United while Neville works as a pundit for Sky Sports.
