Sorry to hear that, mate. I lost my Dad a couple of years ago, too. He was also in a hospice. His last words were 'Bryan Robson' - I was asking him United quiz questions. I'm sure both our Dads would have loved this podcast.

For any United fan this is gold. 2 absolute icons of the club, 2 local boys and 2 humble and down to earth lads. Brilliant 👏

Nicky Butt is a proper likeable bloke. Top player. Miss those 90s early 2000s in football.

[@davids4244]

Brilliant lads - I was fortunate enough to have a few beers with Nicky other week in Hale after Liverpool game. Often get told never to meet your hero(s). Wary I’d had several beers by the point Nicky arrived and not wanting to piss off a legend he could have told me to f*ck off but instead I got to have a conversation with him and grab a photo. A legend of the game and our club but above all incredibly grounded and modest. A proper gent. Cheers for the Peroni’s Nicky! 🙌

[@typhoonmanchester850]

I've met him a few times in alti and sale I agree he always has time to chat .

[@DJCoachCookie68]

Mmmm Peronis, he didn't sell you short either hehe

[@jonathangriffiths-xg6wo]

Nicky butt and Paul Scholes, wow, two people who were scare of tv interviews etc....and now this well done....

[@NotoriousBing-eq6nc]

I’m a Celtic fan … these bhoys are two of the most genuine humble talented footballer probably ever to grace the pitch … I can always remember me an my mates were 12 years of age and some of us Celtic .. arsenal … Liverpool .. United fans but we were out playing football in our street .. new Barnsley park .. Belfast … and we heard our neighbours scream with joy twice in few mins an the street turned into a street party 😂😂😂😂 there our moments on our lives that with stay with us forever that night will always remain an amazing memory regardless who you supported … big bing Celtic fan from Belfast … keep doin your thing lads 💚❤️🍀🇮🇪

What a revelation Nicky Butt is. Brilliant job hosting this we need to hear more from him. I hope Sky and BBC are watching

This is possibly the best football podcast around, absolutely love listening to these guys

[@MH-vp7lf]

Never thought I'd see the day seeing Scholesy do a podcast 😂

[@Noble_Truths]

Haha same. Glad to see he realises his opinion is appreciated

[@simoncannon4111]

Big City fan here , but couldn’t help listen to these two. Absolutely admired them in the 90’s as everyone did! Podcasts is brilliant , like listening to mates 👍🏻

[@disrupt_ist]

At Christmas time I put 250 quid on you guys winning the treble.I remember that nobody thought you would win a treble until quite late in the season. The bookies gave me 33/1 and pocketed about eight grand when you won it. As you can imagine, I went CRAZY when the two goals went in at the end. I have some fantastic memories because of you guys and I will never forget them.

[@peterlivesey8599]

Nice one brother 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

One of the best football chats from two unpretentious legends. Happy memories

[@johnbarton3252]

Everton supporter here, and must say I am really enjoying listening to these guys podcasts, great players and a great insight, well done

[@jeremybourne7721]

When Scholes was playing he was the last player you'd expect to go on and be a pundit because he was a man of very few words, but he's great, honest and doesn't try and over sensationalise everything, and obviously no one could have predicted he'd have a podcast and KZbin channel. NB is the United player you constantly hear being apart of all the hijinks but rarely hear his side of the story, really excited with this.

[@acook6997]

The happiest I've ever been about a KZbin channel, love ya butty but Scholesy is my all time hero Can't wait for more podcasts lads!

[@Timekeeper1200]

I could listen to stories about 99 forever. Great show lads 🔴

[@paulb3883]

Nice to hear from Scholes as he never did interviews back in the day, so humble and don't to earth to

[@robwood8331]

They both are but it's great yes

Sir Bobby survived Munich but nearly died from a Brian mcclair volley 😂😂😂 these r the stories we need to here about ,such a breath of fresh air ,2 best mates just reminiscing about there younger days ,my new favourite podcast 👏👏👏

I'm not a Man U fan but I really enjoyed that Scholesy seems much more comfortable in Butty's company I underrated Butty as a player at that time, I must admit I was very much mistaken. Both great players and great to reminisce about those achievements! ❤️⚽

[@dillonwood6190]

Thanks guys it’s finally good to hear players like butty tell us there experiences and as a fellow lifelong red Mancunian (my fathers a blue) I just want to thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for giving your everything for the club I love and for the memories GGMU 💛💚

I jumped down from 2 floors in celebration. And Iam talking Nigeria. Football wise the best day of my life.

[@laszlopunaflex6625]

I was 9, had to jump around my room in silence to avoid waking my sister up. Meanwhile, my old man was in a boozer while working in Wales, lashing champagne everywhere. We made up for it in 2008 though 😂

Two legendary footballers.

[@I.Wallivs]

6am here in vietnam, getting ready for work was a bit slow listening to this. I'm a gorton lad like Butty and was about 14 when we won that. I was on deansgate up on a shop doorway roof and it was pandemonium. We were all pissed, people were just walking into off licenses and just helping themselves to beer. One of the best few days of my life, i was at the semi and the final in the cup and at old trafford for the tottenham game. Only one i missed was the trip to barca coz my dad wanted to go with his mates, we didnt see him for 4 days after. To this day i have no idea where he ended up, he won't say, he just showed up in the middle of the night with a scarf for me singing his head off. A brilliant time to be a red
