What I Wore: Paul Scholes

[@ibrahimkizil5710]

"It's all about the badge, forget the kit" - G.O.A.T in my books. Childhood hero, the legendary Paul Scholes

[@mnb9162]

I love unassuming geniuses.. Not craving attention.. Wouldnt put his hand up in the crowd... But low key he can school them all.

He didn't say that when asked which of the two he preferred. He actually looked at them both with a lot of consideration. The 'badge' talk is all for the supporters.

[@jamesf3532]

Great player, distribution like no other, hard tackler and loves either foot. Family man who shunned the celebrity of it all and always toed the line, never in any controversy off the pitch.

What an interview! The most relaxed I've seen Scholes in an interview like this. But what a player!!! One of the best England has ever had.

[@RustyVaperGameplay]

He looked pretty relaxed biting his daughters toe nails...

[@HyperionRed]

"It's all about the badge". Oh, if only modern day footballers felt and thought the same... Scholes, what a legend of the game and my favorite player. Hearing him talk about his career brought back so many brilliant memories. Best midfield player to play for United in my opinion, horribly misused when playing for England, could do anything from controlling the tempo and literally any kind of pass to absolute belter goals. What a player...

[@Joker-yw9hl]

What I Wore should always be ex players and legends in my opinion. Now this is one worth watching

[@choughed3072]

Agree. Ex players only, there are plenty of them.

[@AdmV0rl0n]

When he came back, he had an iffy game against City. But just him being in squad dragged a squad that wasn't very good into a league winning position. They got pipped right at the line, but I have no doubt they would have been 16 points off that without him. And that was the twilight Scholes. The manager and the players welcomed him back with open arms, and that almost got another title. Following year he was edge of squad with some injuries and I think age getting up there, but they won the league. An amazing player, humble, and like all good red devils, not just pretty football, he had no issue putting the boot in. In the latter part of his career, he played quarter back using his feet. Pinging balls round the pitch to players feet at 50, 60, 70, yards with missile guided precision. Special. Magic. Awesome. The premier league level has dropped. But in the pinnacle days, he was right up there.

[@scott2222]

mate the premier league in terms off levels is miles ahead off what it once was. Maybe at the top teams it's a little less but from 20th to 8th the level is so much higher than it ever has been

[@muzlp]

Brilliant interview! It’s not everyday that u can see Scholesy so relaxed during an interview, because of that we managed to get a few insights that we never heard before!

[@EmptyGlass99]

I never thought Scholes would become media-friendly after he retired. He always hated interviews, but he's really open and honest these days, which I'm really happy about because he was such an incredible player and he's got a wicked dry sense of humour.

[@chrissilvester5663]

One of the greatest midfielders ever to grace the game. He was a genius so underrated. His passing his vision his natural ability was second to none. He knew exactly where everyone was. The accuracy of his passing his shooting just biblical. Always shunned the limelight never interested in the celebrity side of things. Fact that some of the best managers & players have all said that Scholes was the best says it all

[@MikeyJMJ]

Even as a Liverpool fan I have to give my respect to him. Great servant and an underappreciated legend. I only really started watching football after 2004 but I still vividly remember Scholes in that blue away shirt flinging 60 yard balls to the feet of Giggs and Rooney. Time seemed to slow down when he had the ball. Who can forget the screamer against Barca in '08.

[@bonniedrasco8166]

Liverpool fan here but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Scholes and Keane were phenomenal

[@06AlexanderSuper]

People don't understand the 1999 team , literally beat the best teams in the world with a bunch of academy graduates. Mental!

[@nicknewman7848]

People also forget how good Dwight Yorke was in that side.. linked the midfield and attack, made and scored goals and never gave the ball away. Had a shocker in the final but the whole team were pretty awful that night until the gods of football intervened.

[@Ibbroxx]

The ability Scholes had was ridiculous and the numerous trophies he won and everything yet he is so humble.

[@nakamyaharriet2597]

I love the way he credits every team, what a humble best midfielder???? GINGER PRINCE SCHOLES.

[@kcjones8998]

It's always funny hearing Paul and Roy saying it was embarrassing being in the suits on the pitch after the game . I always think its a little dig at Terry

[@bodhiwolf]

Nah, it wasn't long after the final that Roy came out and said that. I think Scholes, too, as soon as he was asked about it. I was always hoping they'd get another chance to play in the final

[@adamthomas8077]

The shirt he's wearing is stuff of legend. Brings me back to my young teen days, love to see it.

The greatest Manchester United player of my lifetime. Scholes was an absolute GENIUS

[@worthalook4870]

My first united game was 1991 fa cup vs Cambridge. I was 8. I’m 38 now and scholes is still the best player I’ve ever seen in that position

[@Kloppsserialbottlers]

13:16 To this day no matter how many times people tell Scholes he's an all time great, he still seems to always laugh it off or underplay it haha. 34 years I've supported United, I've seen a LOT of legends come and go in that time and Scholesy is my second fave player behind King Eric. An absolute genius player, midfield maestro.

[@nlizzy9071]

If only we still had Scholsey running our midfield again ffs looooool😭😭😭😭

Funny story actually, Pauls son, Aaron went to school with a friend of mine and this friend held a football tournament for his birthday and for his gifts, Paul and Aaron got my friend two new pairs of football boots. I played in goal and Aaron gave me a little kick at one point when I got the ball on the ground haha. At the end of the party, Paul was signing all of our shirts and well...I support Arsenal, so he was a little weirded out by the fact I still wanted him to sign my Arsenal shirt, but he still did and I still have the photo of me and Paul together. I eventually decided to cut the signature out of my shirt, which became far too small for me and give it to my younger brother, a United fan, who missed the party due to being elsewhwere.

I wanna hear Lamps, Stevie and Scholesy talk about why the 3 of them didn't fit together for England. I for one will always wish Scholes and Gerrard were a 6/8 pivot, with Lampard playing 10.

Scholes got thrown into left midfield it’s no mystery

[@Itsthecreative]

@@manupasta I know how Sven lined them up, but I wanna know why they think it didn't work. And it's not just when all 3 played, even when it was just the 2 and they both played centrally it never worked.

[@shesbaldbutiwould]

@@Itsthecreative All were attacking midfielders at the time none wanted to sacrafice and sit needed a 3 with a midefielder like Carrick being one of the 3

[@Itsthecreative]

@@shesbaldbutiwould pretty much they only played together from 02-04. At which time Frank was an AM, Stevie was a b2b playmaker and Scholes was transitioning from AM/SS to b2b (though from the start of the 04-05 season, Gerrard became an AM and Scholes began floating between b2b and deep-lying playmaker).
