Best interview on the overlap yet, Scholesy opened up like never before and it was a refreshing, honest insight into his thought process, career, his family’s life and the subject of autism. Brilliant player, world class talent and has retired gracefully. Legend.
Everyone says this every time 😂😂
Never seen scholes. Like this . Dry sense of humour love it
Totally agree
@@johnpearson709 I remember being surprised a few years ago when I seen an ex player saying he was one of the biggest jokers
Probably my favourite one so far. Being a Liverpool fan the Carra one was decent and the Gerrard one was ok, this one was great.
As a United-fan with an autistic son aswell, this hit hard. I had no idea Scholesy had a son with autism.
It can be extremely difficult at times, especially at a young age. My boy is now 14 and has probably had a different development than young Scholesy. He is catching up to his own age and is a happy kid. Hopefully Scholes Jr. has a happy life ❤
Same here bro, the struggle is real, definitely challenging but it's comforting in a way to see Paul talk so openly about the struggles we face on a daily basis, all the best to you and yours pal.
I’m a foster cater to two SEN boys, one with global development delay and one with autism as their prime difficulties and literally had the biggest meltdown today after a hospital app. Bit, scratched, strangled screamed and punched me all the way from the hospital to the car and then trying to get him buckled in the car. So was so nice to watch this now and hear someone that admire first off but also just someone else’s views and speak so openly about it can be such a struggle but so rewarding and they’re so much more appreciative of the smaller things when you’re having good times. Sort of makes up for them kick offs 😂. All the best with your families guys you’re doing a great job ❤
I’ve got a little boy who’s 3 in November who’s going through the diagnosis now for autism
It’s a struggle to get to grips of it some days and people don’t understand about autism and the government don’t do enough for kids with autism we are looking at over a year to get a diagnosis , wish you all the best in life great for scholes to speak about it
My son too has autism. Everyday Is difficult. We all do the best for our kids for them to be happy despite the difficulties and struggles they face daily. It’s warming to see how Scholsey talks about it so openly here and can relate to us all as we do to him. He is such a down to earth, lovely guy. A United legend and one of the best midfielders of our generation. Such an amazing person
Autism is definitely a vast spectrum. Some people can function pretty fine in society, some people require a lot more help
Never stop doing this Gary, these interviews go beyond football, I sit here and genuinely learn something new, best wishes to Paul Scholes and his family, humble and strong
You should try reading a book.
If Gary could just shut up about United and stick to these I’d be much happier 😂
Had tears in my eyes listening to Scholesey talk about Aidan. Good to hear how open he was talking about autism. Wishing for more progression for Aidan!
You must be an emasculated man to cry so easy.
If they ever draft you to the military, you're done for..
You look emotional mate
I'm reaching out for a friend. Please
Gary really cares for scholsey - really nice to see and so genuine
Neville only cares about Salford FC & the Labour Party 👍

@@dancarver9995 and you’re still watching his videos 😭😭
Scholes: I don't remember, don't remember, I don't remember a lot of things no. Neville: Do you remember when you scored against City Scholes: Yeah.
Always remember your big goals
@@cph4314 big goal against a small club
@@bigdraco2994 he's a Manchester lad, big game
he loves football, so it’s probably one of the few things he remembers
😂😂
City fan but what a legitimate legend. Nothing but respect. The stuff about his son really hit me. Absolutely top class fella. Amazing job, Gary.
Go on out of that
I think even City and Scousers respect Scholsey - he's a no BS, good guy and such a player !
As a Manchester United fan I respect all the great English clubs and their emblematic players, even City and Liverpool. There is no point in hating each other honestly. When Man Utd is not involved, I always support other English teams. And am not even English. I just love the Premier League and it sounds fair to me to back up the English teams.
Respect
Our lad is 7 with autism and severe learning disabilities, this broke my heart. Wish Scholesy and his family nothing but the best ❤️
Liverpool fan, grew up watching Scholes carve my team apart year after year with his incredible passing. What a player, and what a man. Love his approach to life. Love his honesty and how humble he is.
Better than Slippy G
Respect.
Ignore the trolls... I am a life long United fan and I have always tried to recognise talent nomatter who they are or who they play for. Paul Scholes is my favourite player of all time because of his attitude, ability and dedication to the club, but deep down everyone knows that Liverpool have some truly great players, past and present.
@@davidr1138 well said!
@@bigdraco2994 Fergie tried signing slippy g ya dafty 😢
The chemistry between these two is amazing and it makes watching an absolute pleasure. What is so endearing about Scholesy is the fact he's such a relatable, down to earth bloke who you could meet in the pub, despite being one of the best footballers ever. His openess and candid account of his mental struggles, despite a world class career, money and fame (what society indoctrinates you to believe will make you happy), is refreshing. A breath of fresh air watching this.
Well said 👏
Overrated though
@@charlielad6124 I disagree, he was not overrated, not in the slightest.
He is also the reason Rooney changed his mind and stayed at the club...after a drink and chat down the local pub.
He'd be sat on his own in the pub not speaking to anyone though wouldn't he? 🤣
The absolute opposite of a standard interview or talk show and a million times better for it. Genuine warmth, humour, friendship and insight into both men's character. I'm not football fan and only intended to watch for a minute because Paul Scholes always came across as so self-contained. 40 minutes later... Brilliant stuff.
Paul Scholes what a player and genuine good man. Sounds like he’s an even better Dad. YNWA.
🐐comment
I’ve watched every United player here on overlap and you notice is they all are humble, very self critical and kind of loners (Roy, Paul, even Becks to a certain extent). All they wanted was to be home with family and play for United. Have to give it to Sir Alex for identifying these amazing players and making them world class.
Whilst Sir Alex definitely deserves massive credit for the role he played I think the majority of the credit should go to the academy coaches who nurtured them into becoming the down to earth superstars they became. Compared to today’s academy players who have barely played a minutes first team football but are already arrogant primadonnas in their own minds.
@@tyronebooth278 Agree…. They need credit too
Fehgie didnt make them world class your having a laugh
@@tyronebooth278it's the money though, back then they barely got anything but now they can be millionaires at age 18/19, Becks became arrogant once he got wealth and world fame, he's not the nice humble guy he portrays in the media, he has a nasty side to him
Neville is such a decent bloke. He really cares about his mates and how they are doing in life.
If it gets him paid. He hasn’t reached out to any of the kids who flopped at United and had nothing else in life they wanted to do
@@mattkhanna what is that supposed to mean tho? How can he do anything for player's that never made it? They lived different lives ie being a professional footballer you hardly have time for your own family due to training all the time, playing away, and then the same with international football. How can you possibly make time to do anything else?
@@Red-Rambo so you’re saying his mates can only be world class players ? You don’t think he made friends with anyone else while at the club?
@@mattkhanna where did I say that? If thats what you got from my comment then we will just leave it there 🤣
Paul Scholes is just an ordinary down to earth bloke, who was an exceptional footballer. Never wanted the limelight, just a simple and happy life. Top bloke
Watching more of Scholes on interviews and pundit. I've realised how intelligent he is behind the respected quiet football talent. All the best Paul Scholes!
Great interview, open, brave and honest to discuss personal family topics. Wish him and his family all the very best.
Haha brave....
@@dancarver9995 how's that amusing? Yeh he's a multi millionaire successful sportsman, but opening up about kids and personal space takes some nads.
damn right mate, Legend, big up to Scholesy & his family.
Stunning and brave!..
@@dancarver9995 u are a clown
Paul Scholes is fantastic to listen to when he's comfortable and speaking to somebody he trusts so he can open up in the way he wants to. Comes across so differently. Genuinely class watch this and Gary is probably one of the only people who could get it from him. Class interview.
Genius
Paul Scholes Genius
I’m 29, have high functioning autism, and also work with kids/teenagers. I know for a fact that, just by talking for a short period about Aiden, his struggles and how it’s affected the whole family, Paul has just made some parents realise that it’s okay to talk about these subjects in such an open way. I had absolutely no idea and he deserves credit for talking about it, as does Gary for bringing it up and asking questions in such a respectful and delicate manner. Remains one of my favourite UA-cam channels ❤️
Liverpool fan here and I've always hated to admire many of the players and mindset of this class of players from them united fergie days, but I have an absolute admiration for the human being that Paul Scholes is after this deep insight to his journey in life among his private family matters and even how he thinks, a very strong minded individual and so so grounded, thanks for this, top men....
Never heard Paul Scholes do many interviews let alone be so open an honest. Seems like he struggles a bit in life sometimes, but like many people, his personal pride stops him talking to anybody about it. A lot of men are like that. Great episode with a genuinely world class footballer. Zidane said he was the best player he ever played against. Enough said.
it's called life... nothing is always full of 'ups'. Scholes is just talking how most of us get on with it... no need to pay stupid money to see a therapist when you literally have tv/family/friends/movies/food/drinks/exerice/books, honestly people just need to shut the fuck up and bear with it as long as it's not controlling your life; Scholes curtails those emotions through life/experience and he's happy enough to showcase there are downs.
At the end of the day... vanilla ice cream and decent movie? A bit of playstation and couple of beers? Reading a good Grisham or a fantasy novel with a cup of tea? Sending a What'sApp message to a mate of family member? This is normal... this new generation are massive snowflakes.
One of the best ever interviews on The Overlap imo. I mean Scholsey was always a man of very few words anyway so it's actually refreshing to see him be so open about his life especially when it came to talking about his family his son's autism that must've been difficult.
I love the fact that Scholesy is very cutting in what he says no holds barred just says how it is in one sentence. There should be an Overlap where the whole of the class of 92 meet up & have a bloody good catch up treat us viewers to an absolute treat.
That would be excellent....the chat between Neville,Giggs & Beckham about wife beating allegations & shamelessly plugging the Qatar World Cup for millions of pounds would be a fantastic listen.
@@dancarver9995 lmao what a nobhead you are
@hfc Liverpool fan mate.
@@dancarver9995 I don't remember anything about Beckham or Neville apparently beating their wives?
As a Liverpool fan he was the bain of my life he destroyed us several times. What an absolute gent he is. Brilliant player and top man. Well done Nev great interview also.
That's a fantastic interview. Two old mates having a chinwag. It was so natural. The Shop Steward is a great interviewer and the Greatest Midfielder of his Generation was prepared to open up a bit. Big respect.
Paul Scholes = World Class. There's a reason he will always be one of the greatest midfielders of his generation and a Manchester United icon. Truly a legend as a professional, a parent, and a person.
🤝
he was THE best, if he had a Carrick or Keane with him, it was absolute nothing stopping the team for years and years
Gerrard and Lamps well better
Lampard was way more classier a footballer than scholes will ever be
@@rambo235 Zidane, Iniesta, Xavi and Pirlo disagree. So do I.
Scholesy is such a no-BS person. Love it
Until it comes to his mate Ole
Typical Northern lad, it is shock to us when someone isn't like this 🤣
My heart goes out to Paul and his family for being strong and helping there son through the autism, love and prayers mate.
Easily the best Overlap yet! Would happily watch 12 hours of Scholesy just talking away, seems like a proper down to earth no nonsense bloke. Watching Gary and him bounce off one another brings back good memories of the old United😭
Such an honest, old fashioned bloke.....everything doesn't need to be a crisis these days, running to underqualified therapists....good man scholsey, always been my idol, you and Keaney
Real talk💯💯
Underqualified is the key word! We need decent provision of mental health services through the NHS, 'keep calm and carry on' cant work for everyone
''Hi Gaz, just calling to let you know i really enjoy what im doing, see you later''
hahaha
he's a proper Karl Pilkington isn't he, love him
As a father to an autistic son who is a similar age to his son, I can truly appreciate how much it has affected his life, and his ability to leave his family even for a short time. in the 16 years since my boy was born, I've stayed away just one night, and that was 3 months ago! This was definitely my favourite overlap interview to date.
I 'm an Australian and a huge City fan having lived in Manchester for 5 years.....I saw Paul Scholes play for the first time live at the Vincent Kompany testimonial game at the Etihad.......this bloke quite simply is a straight up star......he played the whole game as an attacking midfielder....bossed the pitch like it was his own and at times looked like he had his own ball.....I'm always going to be a City fan and look forward to thrashing MU at every Derby......but from that night and this interview.....I am now truly a Paul Scholes fan....
Keano & Scholesy are by far the best two interviews so far on the overlap
The keane one was unreal!
After seeing the personalities of MU players and how long they dominated the EPL, it makes sense why they maintained success for a longtime. They’re all mentally strong, leaders and they were genuine friends. It’s hard to assemble such personalities today. Alex Ferguson is a genuine insightful leader.
Very well said
We've got a 16yr old autistic son. It was so nice to hear Scholesy opening up about it. There were so many similarities between his story and our own. Even in these modern times, in some circles it can still seem like a bit of a taboo subject to those that don't understand, or haven't experienced it. Thank you n well done Scholesy lad. Not just a fantastic footballer, but also a top guy. 👍
Absolutely love this interview. I commend Paul for opening up about his son’s autism. It’s understandable why he never really did interviews. Talking about has shone a completely different light on you. I love that you talking doesn’t change anything about the situation. However it does take the weight of your shoulders when you hear of other peoples experiences and makes you see you aren’t alone. Thank you for sharing that part of your life Paul. Englands best ever player.
Scholes is not only a world class player he's a decent, real and down to earth person aswell.
Big respect from an Everton fan
Underrated but rated by the rated.
Hes considered one of the best midfielders in PL history, he's not underrated at all. A load of fake quotes by legendary players is what annoys people.
Definitely not underrated, probably top 15 midfielders of all time.
As a SEN teacher/carer, it is the most difficult but the most rewarding job in the world. The joy and happiness the children bring, is the best thing in the world.
Made respect to all parents/carers/families of children with autism or SEN.
Love scholsey, always have and this has just made me like him more.
His humility is mind-blowing. As a player he was an absolute joy to watch.
It's really cheered me up seeing someone like scholesy who comes across generally closed emotionally, truly open up. I bet it made him feel better. Fair play to Gary. Well done Scholesy. On and off the pitch mate.
thank you Gary Neville for this interview, I am a 41 year old Romanian and I remember watching you guys on the TV and the great Manchester Utd squad of mid 90s - early 2000 play, but most importantly for me as I was only a child were those long range goals I was scoring with Paul Scholes in the FIFA games, used to make me so happy man, ... I have been watching a lot of The Overlap interviews and I can tell you none before got my attention and involvement then the 2 interviews with Paul Scholes, don't know why, but I really appreciated his openness and sincerity and honestly speaking there is a lot to learn from a guy that achieved everything and he stayed grounded and just a beautiful genuine normal human being ...
Anyone that finds Scholes boring needs to reevaluate. He was a proper no nonsense footballer. Played the game well and kept to himself. How he spoke about Aiden and how he obvious cares and supports his other son and daughter sounds like he is a great dad as well. It’s amazing that he was still able to perform to the highest standard while navigating the unknowns with autism. The fact he didn’t tell SAF until much later says a lot about how he deals with responsibilities. Great role model.
As anewcastle fan but a father and grand father good lad Scholes God bless
Great interview, Scholesy is not only a role model for younger footballers with his attitude, but a genuine decent human and great family man. Several footballers today could take note ;-)
Still gives his daughter pedicures to this day.
Maybe not the toe nail biting thing... But i take your point
The segment about his son really hit home for me, I’ve got a disabled daughter and so many similar traits with Aiden, already respected Scholesy but this interviews made me respect him even more. You can see he’s got things going on but he’s old school in keeping it too himself
From a City fan and a born and bred Oldhamer, I really enjoyed that. Great to see my old haunt of Alexander Park looking so well. I think Paul has always felt comfortable among the people of Oldham, he's one of us. He could have so easily moved out to the rich environment of Cheshire but I think he craved normality (assuming the people of Oldham are normal) 🙃 and he has to be commended for that. I see him quite often and it's almost like bumping into someone you know and not one of the best midfielders the Premier League has ever seen and someone who is known the world over. I wish Paul and his family all the best.
Thanks Gary for this interview. You really get alot of stick, I think unfairly, from people that can't appreciate what you do for football and the punditry. But I think you are a genuine bloke with a warm kind heart. Keep doing your thing Gary. Massive respect.
Much love Scholsey. Hope it gets easier with the son... You are ever a Legend
Pure gold the guy never really said more than 20 words an interview throughout his career so cheers gazza lad 👍
He has actually, just counted the number of words he said after the FA Cup game against Arsenal, he said 22 words. So you're wrong
Private, family man who put those in need before himself.
Top guy and unbelievable player from an LFC fan
A beautiful choice by Scholes to be so open and wonderfully handled by Gary - quality message.
As a Leeds fan who despises Man U, I gotta say I absolutely love Gary since he retired. Superb pundit, gets his mate to open up in front of the cameras when its clear he isnt comfortable and seems a passionate all round sound bloke. I tip my hat Gaz. Absolutely class in all that he does ( God that pains me to say)
Best overlap yet… Scholesy is a real person and legendary footballer. From a Liverpool fan 👏🏽
Totally agree the best British player to have played in the premier league from a Norwich fan 👍🏼
Respect for scholes just went to the max. I'm a massive Liverpool fan and the story about his son just shows family is everything. 👏🏽
GOD BLESS BROTHER 1ST HUMAN BEING 2ND CONTROL OUR BAD INNER INCALNATION AND TUNE OUT HUMANITY THEN U CAN B COME FATHER MOTHER BROTHER SISTER. ..RELIONS ETC ETC ETC. ..GOD GUIDE US 2 WHAT U COMMAND US 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
One of my heroes Scholesy what a genius of a footballer he was. Great interview, it just shows how normal a man Paul is , reminds me of people where i come from honest and humble , thanks for the memories Scholesy and best of luck for all your family in the future.
Newcastle United fan, but just loved Scholes, every fan around the country wished they had him at their club,nearest we got was nicky butt.
As a true Liverpool fan I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt I wish scholesy had played for us. Absolute LEGEND.👏👏👏👏👏
Liverpool fan here. Loved this episode. What a player & what a man. So down to earth & humble. Great sense of humour too, Utd's very own Karl Pilkington!
I teared up watching this one. I have so much respect for Scholesy.
As a Liverpool fan scholes is the one player I'd have taken from United in a heartbeat proper world class. Always had huge respect for him and even more after watching this video
City Fan - I can’t help but smile and laugh at the stories Scholes and Neville share. Great watch. Thanks for the honesty Scholes in regards to your mental health and your son. Very refreshing. We need to see you more on the TV. Good job Neville again, never let down with an overlap yet. 👏🏻😁
I knew Scholes is a great player, but I didn't know that he is such a great dad too. Total respect for sacrificing yourself for your kids and being so understated.
City fan here, used to hate scholes but i always knew what a fantastic player he was, and this interview really hits home to me as someone with disabilities in his family, im really thankful for this video because its hard to talk about stuff like this and you think you are the only one
Just a real genuine human being. Wish you and your family nothing but the best.
Scholsey. What a gem. Blessed to have seen him play.
Grew up watching Scholes from the 90's. onward. What a player..... I. am not sure there has been an English player with better technique, vision and game intelligence. .....an utter legend as a. player and even more so as a person. Its so refreshing to see a genuinely humble footballer. You can take what you do seriously without taking yourself too seriously. And. most importantly a proper dad - not one of these who call themselves a dad and do nice fun bits and pieces but. someone who actually puts their. child first - as. a. father. with a. son who has autism I could entirely relate to what he. was saying about it being entirely life changing. for a family. What are you going to do - handle your responsibility like this man - Scholes is a legend.
This is my absolute favorite Overlap. I think Scholesy is such a fantastic person and to see him be so open…well it was such a pleasure to watch.
One of Oldham's greatest product Paul Scholes. Such a humble and down to earth bloke who didn't forget his roots. Will definitely pay a visit to his new gym in Oldham
Legend
We too have a 3 year old with autism and people like you scholesy bringing to light your experiences have helped the people we know try to understand what we are going through on a daily basis. There is light at the end of the tunnel after all. Please keep sharing. I'm a lifelong United fan. Loved watching you play football. Love the show Gary.
Most down to earth person let alone footballer. Seems to be a great dad too.
Thanks Scholsey for opening up. You not only seen a really nice bloke, but considering the extra difficulties with family life and trying to be world class, is a real testament to the quality you always brought to the game. Xavi said you were the best and it's hard to argue
Fantastic interview and probably the most honest you will see from Scholes in an interview. I always say United have failed to recover from this man's retirement to this day. Irreplaceable in that position to be honest
This is a PROPER insight into Scholes' life, the guy who wasn't a superstar or celebrity. His struggles, and experiences are so relatable. Best episode, clear.
Going from never seeing a Scholes interview after a game to seeing 45 minutes of him talking, wow what an interview. I would’ve loved to hear when he came back out of retirement
Even as a Leeds Utd fan this is the best overlap yet for me👏👏, brilliant, loved Paul opening up about autism as I too have an autistic son, but the overall interview was a great insight into a cracking player and a real down to earth and honest bloke.
This was absolutely brilliant. Gary absolutely loves the fact he played for united, he throws it into most sentences. It’s amazing to see a bloke who’s lived his dream and it was everything he wanted it to be, most of us can only dream of that. Scholesy is also hilarious without meaning to be🤣
That what makes him so great, unlike some who would go to the opening of an envelope,,,Alex WELSH WINDBAG jONES...Mica Richards ,,,bad player and tick list pundit...
Scholes needs to know what an absolute diamond he is! I truly hope you find that thing that gives you the fire you crave Scholsey. If anyone deserves it, it's you mate! Thanks for all the memories! Legend! 💯
The overlap is unrivalled, it’s so well put together and the guests are elite! Can’t wait for future episodes! Hopefully more of united legends 😂👌🏼 but honestly, really hope they go through the list of prem legends
Brilliant this.. Paul Scholes will always be remembered by not only Utd Fans but True Football Fans as a Class above the Rest player.. well done to both a Great Watch and Honest account about his life in and out of Football 👏👏👏
Having a child that is also on the Autistic spectrum, it was very humbling to hear Paul talking about the challenges and adaptations that, as parents, you do for your child.
Also, as a parent, I looked at the list of traits and started ticking them off myself, in addition, my family members characteristics were also there.
There are others who have to deal with life threatening allergies who also have to adapt and the empathy I have is sincere.
Honestly amazing content. Always knew Scholsey was an absolute don. This just solidified it. The way he spoke so openly about all subjects of his life and the way Gary gets his guests to open up is a true insight for all us fans to hear. Love that 🤝
As a Liverpool fan all I can say is that he was a top class player but is an even better man. Total Respect to Scholsey. Superb interview
Respect for Paul scholes being open and honest about his son it's not easy I have 3 autistic children and it's tough.#autismawareness.
Brilliant interview, Paul is clearly a quiet shy individual but one of the most talented players ever to lace a pair of football boots. Legend
With a 6 year old autistic daughter too, this hits home. Scholes was so emotional when speaking about his son and I felt the same. Can’t agree more on the point that autism has a way of affecting the entire family’s life.
Credit to Paul for being so open about his son, for someone who doesn’t talk about his problems that’s a tough thing to do.
Gary this is absolutely brilliant. It started slowly but got better and better. Such an interesting insight into a quiet reserved incredibly humble man. Scholesy was so brave in this interview. It was inspiring and encouraging. Love Scholes after this. I think this was actually the most interesting overlap so far 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great interview, brutally honest and deep.
Fair play to Scholesy, he’s a genuinely humble honest bloke, normal.
Nev is a great interviewer as well, genuine care and empathy for a close friend
Listening to are Paul talking about his kid having autism was something truly special, massive love and respect to him as I know how hard it is on a daily basis.
My lads autistic and you learn something new about them and autism itself every single week.
Wow I’ve never seen Scholes open up like this. He’s always been the quite one never in the papers always an amazing pro. I take my hat off to him and his familey for being so open about the struggles with their amazing son.
Paul is a top guy and a brilliant father who knows his priorities and just a normal guy who had a world class talent but didn’t let that lead his life and has zero regrets . It was reported Spanish and Italian clubs were in for him at one point I’m sure later in his career I remember wondering why he knocked them back but understandable now you hear a bit of his story . A class act from start to finish . Respect to the guy . He’s putting his family ahead of his own happiness fromWhat I see
But he was a Red thru and thru..just like Ryan who unfortunately ruined his life by his actions off the field.
Overlap is the best football channel on UA-cam. Gary gets unreal guests and brings out the best in them. Paul Scholes is a genuine legend, the best player of his generation and so brutally humble that even hearing him open up at all makes this among the best videos on this channel. The things he actually says tip it over the edge. GREAT content! From a Villa fan.
Genuinely one of the best guests
During his career you never really seen much of Scholes off the pitch. I love watching these with Gary especially. The bit about his son was touching. What a player and man/father.. Gary too.
What a fabulous interview...Paul Scholes, so honest and genuine...a proper human being just as he was a proper footballer....Well done Mr Neville and thanks Mr Scholes
Even as a life long Liverpool fan I’ve always admired Scholesy
One of the best interviews I’ve seen on overlap. Liverpool fan here and great insight into Scholes’ life and football. Top guy and a lot of respect for his personal life.
Most underrated player of my generation , made things look so easy , and was seeing the next pass so quickly , before receiving the ball .
Short advances forwards and backwards receiving the ball ,and always kept the ball moving forward .
I am not a united fan , but this boy was a genius in my eyes .
he's not though is he,carrick is probably more underrated than he was
I don't personally think scholes was underated, he is always picked in "premier League" all time eleven's by most etc. True all time premier League legend. 👍
@@shesbaldbutiwould I agree 💯💯💯Wish we had kept Carrick involved. Youngsters could learn so much from him.
I think in fairness he is rated right. He's a premier league great, but in terms of Europe and international he didn't hit great heights. He is well respected, but maybe underachieved, but then maybe not.
@@dickmonkey-king1271 Agree that England never quite saw the best of him, but you could easily put that down to tactics and the politics of the England team when he played (I mean none of them really showed their club form and that was due to the above).
But he won two European cups with United, and if it wasn’t for that Barca team being (arguably) the best team in European history, the United team of 2008-2011, would have won at least one more European cup then. He was integral to both those teams, so you can’t say he didn’t have an impact in the UCL
Scholesey was always my childhood hero. He has gone even further up in my estimations after this! Legend.
Gary Neville really is a good TV presenter. I've watched most of his shows. Very grounded and full of good stories with a good attitude.
