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.

[@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 .

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

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

[@NotoriousBing67]

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

[@steve-marsh]

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

[@johnbarton3252]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@itmatterednot]

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

[@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

[@iggyboy2805]

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 👏👏👏

[@DJCoachCookie68]

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! ❤️⚽

[@jedsithor]

This is outstanding. Just a couple of friends and teammates sitting down, having a chat.

[@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

This is great because it's making Scholes think because when he does punditry he generally doesn't tend to remember these little anecdotes as much so it's interesting to hear him on the past successes. Bet he loves being a podcast presenter!

Yes boys....99 best moment ever we went from devastated to the highest highs.scholesy is to hard on himself that medal was fully deserved and if he thinks that one wasn't the 2008 one certainly was

[@FootkerSnooball]

Yeah they were both deserved not just for his contributions in those particular campaigns but also for all his great performances and goals during many champions league campaigns, 2 CL's was the least he deserved he was robbed of a few others including 2004 where he was played onside by 4 Porto players but flagged offside that would've been his 2nd goal to go 2-0 up on the night and that particular season would've been a rare CL campaign where the route was pretty easy (hence Porto being able to go on and win it) and he could've played a CL final in his prime which he never got to do which people don't think about when they try to put various players ahead of him in debates I.e Gerrard, Lampard etc...
