Paul Scholes’ 18 Questions with Gary Neville | Overlap Xtra

[@norge4481]

I wrote to scholes around 2008/2009 as a 5 year old, he was mine and my dads favourite player 2 weeks later I got a signed picture and a note on the back. Still have it to this day and I’ll keep it forever. Cheers scholesy.

[@Hogarth1985]

Love this. The comment about not being respected in this country - I think that only comes from those who don't know their football or simply don't understand the game like some of us do. Scholes was world class. Read the game so well. Scored goals. Timed his runs. Saw passes others didn't. Top class.

[@paulhammal7231]

I’m a Leeds fan and I always likes Paul Scholes. And he seems exactly as you’d expect him to be in a real life interview like this 😊👍

[@johnnylopez7193]

He retired from United at 38 and can answer if he looked after himself , he could’ve been a better footballer. As if his career was “just okay”… What a man. Respect!

[@shesbaldbutiwould]

he did look after himself he was talking about as a teenager

[@rayman86]

The humility of this absolute legend of a footballer is staggering. I don't think Scholsey realises just how phenomenally talented he truly was. He could place a pass on a six pence with forward or backspin depending on what the situation demanded and could do it with his eyes closed. How utd could do with a player like him now.

Just goes to show Scholes’ insane class

Isn't it mad all that talent at Utd and people claim it doesn't help him look better. All that talent, so much of it that the fans and players never, ever, voted for him as their best player.
