What did Butt and Scholes REALLY think of their Man Utd 'Class of 92' teammates? | FG: Eras

[@d.d9694]

This is brilliant. Really enjoying this series. I'm in my 30s, spent my childhood looking at these guys like absolute heroes. Love every minute of it.

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Love it! Thanks a bunch ❤

[@alexanderzammit648]

These guys are the definition of 'down to earth' - always have been and still are! Great Podcast!

[@TonyField]

Definitely , sounds like almost the same as I was growing up you had a bollocking and my old chap would still take bosses side 😂😂 you don't realise why at that age but carry on all the same . 😅

[@jamieshanks4656]

Brilliant show, I like the way they are just chatting and not staged

[@KeithHenry-w5x]

Lads this is brilliant...two modest lads who were two brilliant players...keep this podcast going,really enjoyed it.

[@garyeld13]

Love this podcast, just two mates chatting. No slagging off other clubs, great stuff!

[@nicknewman7848]

They don't think they're comedians or pundit superstars either. It's a welcome change.

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Glad you're on board Gary

[@iamGHOZST]

fantastic, We don't hear enough about Nicky Butts history, and what a good talker he is. great stuff.

[@footballsgreatestpod]

👏

[@Andy-co6pn]

Speaks very well for someone who claims to be "rubbish at school"

[@Barristered]

Nicky Butt was a last minute exclusion from an England squad going to a World Cup An oil/petrol company had already had commemoration coins made including Nicky. That must have been the worst moment of his career.

[@davidharris3219]

I'm 74yrs old man city fan all my life but love listening to u two great Manchester lads

[@mowvu]

i bet you're so annoyed with new city fans. they are lacking in so much knowledge. it feels like they've inherited what you guys struggled with for so long

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Lovely stuff, welcome David 👋

[@Maradonaldinho]

Two of my favorite people on earth! Growing up going to The Cliff, I got both your autographs, along with everyone from Terry Cooke, Kevin Pilkington to Eric Cantona. Still have them to this day. Will pass them on to my son as you're absolute legends. Cant thank you enough for the dedication and commitment you put into our club. They don't make em like you lot anymore. 🔴⚪⚫

[@cph2004]

It was such a great personal conversation. Modest, humble, and real. No, bs. Well done.

[@martzall6776]

Genuine and a real connection of a shared past

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Good to have you here cph

[@davidpearson6785]

Listening to legends talking about their roots and careers is so refreshing, the current generation, will reminisce about how many Lamborghinis they have, how many tic toc views they've had and how much money they have , maybe it's not their fault, different times now and it is what it is, but it's so refreshing listening to players who used to give a shit. Two of my absolute heroes. What id give for a scholesy and butty in midfield now.....great times. Thanks gents

[@WolfovichTheIrish]

Not to mention most can't even string a sentence together these days.

[@SuperGiddyman]

Bringing back great memories. Remember going to cliff and meeting Nobby, he told us the first team were at Littleton rd and gave us directions. Couldn’t believe how normal he was. Then went to Littleton road and were stood at the side of the pitch watching the first team training. First time i heard so many different accents in one place. At the end the first team all jumped in each other’s cars to drive back to the cliff. Still got all the autographs.

[@mrmwilding3539]

LOOK AT THESE TWO N LOOK AT MOST PLAYERS AROUND NOW. TRUE MANCHESTER! WHO WD THINK THEYRE SUPERSTARS? SO DOWN TO EARTH. UNITED F LIFE❤❤

[@PinkRaven1221mcr]

I never thought I'd live to see Nicky Butt 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆n Paul Scholes 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆doing a podcast. Just awesome. Huge thanks n big love. ❤

[@footballsgreatestpod]

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@Muesli711]

Liverpool fan here but I'm really liking these podcasts

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Welcome 👋

[@robread9416]

Great podcast.. Honest and down to earth, great stories

[@daveblack2339]

You’re not a Liverpool fan then

[@garrettkelly5546]

W​@@daveblack2339Why is he not?

[@andrewyates2618]

Not a United fan but could listen to these two for hours

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Cheers Andrew 🤝

[@davidbraniff1669]

Loving these podcasts. Two good blokes with no airs or graces who seem like the sort of lads you'd have a beer with and reminisce about life as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s. Particularly like the part when they talk about having food on the way back from training. It reminded me of playing football with my mates for our school team then buying chips on the way back home, eating them and having a laugh together on the bus. How times have changed! I wouldn't let my 12 year old son on a bus on his own now.

[@footballsgreatestpod]

❤

[@windowman929]

It was brilliant watching this team in their day, following yanited for over 50 years, love and best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪♥️🇮🇪

[@footballsgreatestpod]

YANITED ❤

[@somegeezer4058]

Love the format. Just two lads chatting about their experiences. Very insightful.

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Nice one geezer ❤

[@markheys5516]

Good to watch these two reminiscing, I’m 51 so these guys are my happiest memories of the 90’s. Scholesy board of running his own gym, not sure what butty been up to. But that’s why I’m here lads. Love these 2 👊🫶🏻

[@silvauk6159]

Had the privilege of having both of you coaching me at stretford high when you were both yts at utd. One of my greatest memories of my childhood. 2 of the greatest without doubt

[@footballsgreatestpod]

❤

[@gregdaviesbcn]

So real, insightful and inspirational for younger players (and young people in general). Thanks for sharing! Brings back memories of my own- growing-up and playing school football in the 70s, playing for Greater Manchester School boys, trialling at Oldham, dreaming of playing for United just like you… wonderful to hear about your own experiences as boys dreaming of making it- The Football Pink!! Love it!!

[@footballsgreatestpod]

❤

[@shinobidan2256]

Omg this was actually very insightful regarding the difference in class between the 90s footballers and the modern footballer. The rollockings, the tough love, the hustle and the general come up was completely different

[@jeffdavies688]

Great podcast......loving to hear the dicipline you had.......should be more of it nowadays... From a Derby fan.

[@EmptyGlass99]

Good to have all these stories down on record. It helps that Nicky Butt talks at 1000mph! It was a different time back then (obviously). Like you two, I grew up in Manchester in the 70s/80s and I used to catch the bus or ride my bike everywhere. I almost never got a lift anywhere.

[@hughjass8430]

This is great. It was such a pleasure to follow United back then when the backbone of the team was solid pros and this bunch of legends. Nothing but pure desire to win from all quarters. Glory days.

[@keithjones929]

Great chat lads! I followed Utd since the 60’s. I’m 70 now. First match I saw in 1969, Utd were European Champions it was Utd v West Ham. First players walking of the West Ham coach were Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters. Three World Cup winners like bronzed gods of football. And then the game, I saw my idols that day, Bobby Charlton, George Best, Brian Kidd, I think Denis was injured that day. Utd won 5-2. It’s shown on tv now and then.

[@Johnstone72]

As a teenager you take so much to heart at times. Later in life you look back and smile at how much you benefited from someone thinking enough of you to demand better from you.

[@arthurthistlewood1225]

Teenagers are more allowed to be themselves these days but I fear many with potential aren't pushed enough as have to be handled with kid gloves.

[@Johnstone72]

@arthurthistlewood1225 I hear you, they're a strange mix of bold as brass and brittle glass.

[@Strangepete]

Here for the general enthusiasm and vibrance of Paul Scholes. What a lively and colorful personality.

[@robwood8331]

He's a top lad F U

[@mikeelliott886]

😂

[@RichRobinson]

Such a colourful character!

[@daviddixon9322]

Two best mates having fun. Priceless.

[@MrPeter1411]

Remember watching the overhead kick goal on my friends ‘Manchester United on Video’ VHS tape. Newcastle United fan but loving listening to these. Brings back memories…… Nicky was great for us when he moved.

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Bring back the VHS

[@MarkDavis-pp5ux]

Not a united fan but enjoyed listening to two great old pros just talking normally about football etc, well played lads.

[@andystenson1]

Scouser here but youse two make me laugh.....top work boys

[@footballsgreatestpod]

🤝

[@jamesraffoul1909]

Brilliant insight of a different era of training methods, upbringing, coaching methods etc.

[@GDMANC586]

Marvin was one of the best defenders I'd ever seen. Big lad strong, great in the air, and great on the ball. Top lad.

[@FineYungCannibal.]

18:11 Would Giggs ever come on and do a chat like this? I know he's had some bad press in recent years, but it would be interesting to hear his story of back in the day. He was my favourite player back then, and I was obsessed with his secrets and skills video tape. 😂

[@FPInvention]

can really tell how good friends they are by how they talk to each other, was very enjoyable

[@reddevilian]

I grew up in the 90s in Mauritius watching these two playing for United. It’s great to hear them speak about their origin story

[@absb1851]

🤩 Just Brilliant listening to Scholesy & Butty! So great to hear their youth anecdotes as these are the Real stories & journeys fans do not realise what players go through from such a young age & only the 1% make it. Been enjoying the series on YT & on the audio podcast channels

[@JohnFenton-zg7oz]

Not utd fan but grew up watching this fellas playing thier hearts out, interesting podcast well done lads

[@MAPV2015]

Very interesting series with refreshing stories that haven't already been spoken about by others. Nice one.

[@gingermarshy007]

Loads of respect for Butt. Always remember every time he played he didnt take any shit in midfield, got stuck in, n gave 100% every time. Just like Scholes tbh. But listening to him speak hes a top guy too. Enjoying these insights, hopefully more to come

[@manchesterfellow5282]

Mr Coffee never stopped going on about "finding Scoles". It's mad hearing him talk about my school and area. I remember Tommy's chippy and Kiddo living in Alky

[@bertiebassett7024]

Tommy's chippy best ever 😊

[@FKA1303]

Tommys chippy in blackley still there

[@stephenmckay3190]

Tommy’s chippy in midd was great

[@francescogiuseppe9253]

Class of 2003?

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Love it - thanks for watching ❤

[@Truther2001]

As a fan since 1992 (when I was 12 and started having an interest in the game) what a pleasure it is to listen to you guys (and Nev's podcast) talk about everything Utd from the glory days!

[@AdrianELSON-u6i]

What a fantastic conversation...United are my second team but such an engaging watch...especially listening to Nicky Butt who I've never heard talk at such length before

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Make sure you listen to the other eps as well Ade 👏

[@walshder]

This is a brilliant podcast. The lads come across as two humble lads who are grateful for their careers at United. I love the way they name check friends and former team mates. I`m lovin` it!

[@footballsgreatestpod]

❤

[@TheIceMan-17]

Really pleased they have launched this podcast, i really enjoy listening to scholes views on football when he was on the overlap, he has to have some patience dealing with them fan reps with carra each week. Everton fan

[@adrianjones1317]

Great lads...!....a pleasure to listen in....from an old guy....from Wrexham....who was lucky enough to see George Best at his peak.... sorry Nicholas...but Paul...is my favourite United player after The Great George...such. a talent..cheers.

[@JD67]

Celtic fan here but loved watching Class of 92 boys in the Utd team at the time They were so dominant in the PL & had success in cups & CL Great to hear about their journey to Utd & how it all came to fruition

[@jeannetramane8983]

Watching mufc for over 30years I love hearing you guys talk about your experiences to greatness. Love class of 92 and all great players that have played at our club. Still watch the games over and over again ❤❤❤

[@footballsgreatestpod]

❤

[@brownowl70]

Good watch that lads. Good to listen to Nicky re his early years,, as a Gorton red.

[@jerrykelleher9017]

Really loving this, Butty and Scholesy! Keep them coming lads 👌👌👌

[@footballsgreatestpod]

More to come Jerry! ❤

[@bobjayhan]

This was good, first time this chat has engaged me. Nostalgic yes, but interesting insights into what it was like to become a footballer at that time. They have space here to do something different than Nev & co. Would like to hear Butt's perspective on leaving United for example, or both on culture of the England team at that time, or their takes on how midfield play has changed, for example.

[@michaelvrabel4517]

just watched and what a good insight of youngsters growing up in the mufc environment. keep it up lads 👏

[@deanclark1646]

Played against Nicky when he was at high school in semi finals for Wright Robinson . Absolute different gravy you could tell he was going to make it then .

[@nissangharti1615]

What was different about him compared to rest?

[@deanclark1646]

Alright mate . He just made it look so easy . He was strong could pick a pass he was class .

[@wakstar1]

A great listen. This is the making of winning professional footballers.

[@christophermackinnon2724]

massive united fan i was in the academy im 40 this month these both were brilliant and gents i remember being a ball boy with trev mcdwyer and david ryan and these two were so nice with me

[@steve10]

I think its the most I've ever heard these two speak 😂 I'm not a man u fan and they rarely did punditry or speaking on camera so I've barely heard Nicky Butt speak 😂. This was great, even though I'm not a man u fan , these are from my generation, I remember football being exactly how they explain it , paying your subs , buses there , 14 or 15 going miles to play football , no way would kids now do that. I basically sat listening to this just reminiscing about the old days , 40 minutes flew by and before you know it I'm back in the real world 😂 Great podcast 👏

[@jl1876]

great to hear these behind the scene stories keep them coming! and thx for the memories lads!

[@seriouslee7762]

Absolutely loving these podcasts. No sensationalist BS like most football content creators. Respect and thanks for the memories lads

[@davidj777jns8]

Thanks guys great show. Can't help feeling that United, like Dortmund, has always given young players a genuine route to 1st team football, which many other clubs don't truely offer.

[@johnbromley5160]

Really enjoyed listening to the podcast, watched the class of 92 progressing at close range,,iwas a steward at United and remember the young players always trying to get seats in my section to watch the first team, great lads proper down to earth.

[@stevenpowell8351]

loving the series , bringing back loads of memories and really interesting to listen to you both talk about the journey .

[@jack8988]

Just watched Nicky butts highlights for man U! Wow he was some player! Totally underated and not talked about enough

[@RyanAndTheHawk]

33 year old Yanited fan here. Best podcast going, lads 👏

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Cheer Ry

[@Samsaraman]

Great podcast from two great players and fellas - from a Liverpool fan 🙌

[@OBWanKenobi]

Tommy's chippy Middleton one of the best ever, these two are our own

[@murphyandmurphybrand]

A couple of my favourite players and greatest memories as a youth in South Africa watching Man U.

[@KeithKristi-f7l]

What an absorbing and super insightful podcast by these two United greats.

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Cheers Keith 👏

[@allsey82]

Mr Thornley, Ben’s Dad was my Headmaster at Junior School. We’d get cup game tickets for a £1 back in the day, and the likes of Giggs and Sharpe presenting our football trophies. Bring back the good old days.

[@STSauto]

Life long city fan here , the boys from the class of 92 are different to todays footballers ,they are the last era of footballers with personality . Enjoy these podcasts , makes ne feel young again 😂

[@Slabhead00]

Great listen, look forward to this every week. Tommy's chippy is still going strong 😂

[@chrisward9867]

Nick Butt, most underrated player ever! Lost the black united shirt with BUTT 19 on the back whilst on holiday as a kid, was devasted, great show guys, keep up the good work.

[@chrisprud7688]

Love this guys proper legends of the club this and the overlap are the best things on KZbin by far

[@aftabbashir4924]

A normal conversation about football. No sensationalism, no BS, no cliches, no clickbait. Very good

[@michaellongstaff4624]

Remember going to a friendly at Bishop Auckland against United in the early 90s. I think Scolesy was playing but the standout player was Ben Thornley. Such a shame he wasnt able to fulfil his potential, would have been a great player.

[@stevo7454]

Forest fan at 50years old so grew up hating these and the Man U team but now I’m more mature absolutely love watching these and the overlap etc great guys and all seem so down to earth 👍

[@muzmason3064]

You proved Alan Hansen wrong lads and it gripped the country I'm Qpr always have been, till I die etc but you lads brought an exciting dynamic and as neutrals we all enjoyed you putting grown lardy men to shame 😂 Good luck lads 😎🕊👍

[@Deano36]

U wouldn’t think the little ginger guy is one of the best midfielders to ever play the game! So down to earth and humble

[@jamo78s3]

Yes, the boys, thanks for your inside stories 👍

[@markfalshaw-gv9im]

Iam a Liverpool fan and iam 65 and these 2 were great players but great lads from a fantastic team and Manager ,you have to put all the Bollox to one side every now and then

[@MarkAnthonyHawkesSITH]

Fantastic podcast! The best! Just to get some insight into the lads and their experiences at youth and beyond is fascinating to me and so enjoyable. To hear the lads mention Lilleshall was brilliant because I played their as a young player myself. lol

[@deanobest1450]

Great watch! Really enjoyed listening to these two. Keep em coming. Oh, to add, not gonna mention my club but England fan here ! 😉

[@juliefaux1857]

I love your podcast I’m not really a football fan nor Man U but I love your memories

[@paulgibson3560]

Loving this podcast, remember playing against you guys for Morecambe, Ben Thornley was amazing then.

[@RichRobinson]

Great podcast. Thanks to all involved. Keep it up.

[@banditbaker1675]

Brilliant, thanks for sharing your memories👍👍

[@andyfarrimond7378]

Great episode again boys. It was lovely to hear you raving about Ben, but I would have loved to hear your thoughts on Adrian Doherty. We thought he was better than Giggsy (or Ryan Wilson as he was then).

[@SL0409]

Great watch this. 42 years old and been a united fan my whole life, met youse all numerous times at the cliff and gave me my greatest years as a football fan Falling out of love with football more and more each season as the game is just getting worse and worse Majority of players are a disgrace, officials are a shambles Even the "fans" these days ain't real fans. Tourists and Instagrammers that have no interest in what's going on on the pitch and majority of games like a library 💤💤💤 People these days can't have rivalry without being abusive I've been a utd fan my whole life but lived right next to maine road and we did car minding there every city home game and there was a steward that let us jump the turnstiles numerous times Kinkladze was one of the best players I've ever seen He he would run rings around the majority of today's players

[@AnthonyHolt-j6i]

Great episode, best one yet for me. Funny and a real insight into what made these two and the lads that made it through to the first team.

[@nathwhitehurst6958]

Brilliant !! Great episode,very insightful! Keep up the good work 👏

[@Bobbibouchersmumwasright]

Normal fellas given amazing talents and still down to earth… miss these kind of footballers.

[@chrisburke7724]

Really enjoyed that. Clearly two down to earth lads with enormous respect for each other and their journey.

[@OJSCollectables]

Two legends of the game, you might not like to hear it lads but you pair were / are class 👏🏻

[@footballsgreatestpod]

💥

[@saffy4352]

A great set of local lads achieved great awards in their profession.

[@elvislady]

I remember going to the paper shop to buy the pink for my dad. Great days back then. Great podcast . Paul and Nicky. I grew up in Salford in the 60s onwards, I loved going to old Trafford I remember the red railings back in 70s. 😊

[@moorzymoores]

Again, best sporting podcast ever

[@nickyenglish8375]

There was another player on the opposite wing to giggs or Wilson as he was known back then, called Adrian (Doc) Doherty, he was at the time ahead of giggs in skill and development and was as Alex Ferguson referred to him as greased lightning. He was the first to actually sign a senior contract. He was from Strabane in County Tyrone Northern Ireland and actually traveled with the first team. He was due to make his debut the same time as giggs but during a game for the A team in midweek he done his knee in And could never get back to his full quality and was relased from the club at the end of the 92 season. Pity butty or scholsey never gave him a mention. There is a book written about him called Forever Young utds lost star. It's a great book wonderful and tragic story. RIP DOC 🙏

[@summan41man]

He was a couple of years older than these, that's probably the reason he wasn't mentioned

[@michaeldunne3379]

Love these chats between Scholes and Butt. Gravy for United fans.

[@robwood8331]

Thanks guys what a great listen

[@davidmackeown9318]

Even though liverpool fan for 43 years these two are quality- top blokes.

[@gordonirvine726]

I've been absolutely loving these shows. Been taking a shot every time Butty says "dynamics".
