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.
Wicked gesture don’t seem to have many of them types but absolutely amazing midfielder
U lucky man. Hes my idol also. Love him
Hey bro. KEEP IT SAFE… bcos itll likely be an opportunity that never happen again…. and Paul Scholes will never happen again either
I did the same with bryan Robson when I was a kid in the 80’s , I also got a signed photo, don’t know where it is but was a great morning receiving that letter from my hero
a good lad
Natural talent, zero ego. Legend.
Zero ego? Did u miss the bit about him refusing to play bcos he was left out 1 game?? 😂😂 Love Scholesy but no players at that level have zero ego mate
@@WayofWyrd It’s completely his ego lol let’s not be silly. It was his ego telling him I’m not playing with the reserves & kids im way too good for that. Come on now
Zero ego???
@@WayofWyrd Can’t really be stubborn in this context without an Ego behind it haha but yeah no worries. All top players have egos tbh it’s a necessary trait for an elite athlete tbh.
@@mloose7870 fair point, but you have to have little ego to make it to those levels
What a player Scholes was, so down to earth too. Massive respect for what he achieved in the game - Liverpool fan.
this is prime example enough^
getting the most minimal love from out arch rivals thsnks to Scholsey 😛
Do you think he was better player than stevie G.
@@kamranzaid2272 no not even close
'Meant be quick fire and your just standing there looking at me' 🤣🤣
Both Scholes and RVN will always be my favourite 2 players to grace the pitch without doubt, what an absolute gem of a player they both were ❤️
Same here, they were just brilliant ❤
As a Liverpool fan, It pains me to really like these two. They are two genuine working class lads who worked their balls off and are now reaping the rewards without too much care for what people think.
Neville is reaping, Scholes, not so much................
You’re definitely a plastic
Im a city fan and its a great interview. (Easy now city and lpool doing so much better than united now right 😂)
Liverpool fan simping over mancs... yeah defo from south London or Birmingham
@@Hacktheplanet_ Liverpool?
"I look for intelligence in a football player, brains"
Scholes was exactly that. Brilliant player
Dunno why nev was laughing
Absolutely. Such an icon.
not brilliant ,the best
He was our Messi…..
I agreeeee
"get the ball to your strikers as quick as possible"
-this should be the motto for all midfielders.
The banter is so good between these guys. They’re just 2 childhood friends having a chat for a tv segment. 2 great football minds and 2 great players. Wonderful video
Insane how humble he is about his ability, world class player.
Bites his daughter's toe nails
I bet you’ve never been to old Trafford
Guy needs punched in
@@charlielad6124 she's fit, can't be him
If i have to compare to scholes to other sport players, for me, he is like Pippen, a hard worker, with lot of impact on the game, and such a great view on the the game.
One of the greatest midfielders ever. “How would you like to be remembered? - Don’t care” can’t not love him 🤣🤣
Ahead of Keane or Veria, even Paul Ince????????
"One of the"
@@matthewdoyle3877 miles better than Paul Ince. Isn’t even close. Zidane said it best when asked what it’s like to be the best player in the world - “ask Paul Scholes”.
@@matthewdoyle3877 not same positions... Zidane was more of a 10, in majority of his career...
@@anishl6430 Paul also played as a number 10. However we're not comparing rather just saying he was good
I'm not a United and its absolutely no surprise to me, but when you hear the way Xavi, Iniesta, Zidane and many more quality players rate Scholes sort of gives you some idea just how good he was. Incredible talent.
Also Guardiola and Raul ranked Scholes as one of the best in that time
I was surprised to hear him say he didn’t consider himself built to be a footballer when he’s so highly thought of by his peers.
@@vivelaresistance3239 He means physically. You knew at school who the natural athletes and footballers were, they used to play most of the sports and were decent at all of them. I think he means he was one of the kids who never in a million years looked like a future professional sportsman.
G.N Ppl will like these quick fire question - They like 'em
P.S There not very quick fire though are they? - You ask me a question & I thought it's a quick fire answer but then you keep staring at me! 😂😂😂 13:15
Scholes.. a man's man, he is. down to earth, no ego, intelligent. legend
Proper lad was very good at football
When listing someone’s attributes, name the positive qualities first, and lastly the negatively written one.
If you listen to Scholes speak about himself as a footballer you would assume he was a really poor player, but if you listen to those who played with/against him you realize how magnificent he truly was.
ah what ah dextur
I agree but if you listen to him talk about current player's these days as a pundit you can tell his standards are high and that he's no stranger to high expectations
Nobody assumes that, and I'm not a man united fan
Overrated
@@charlielad6124 nonce
Scholesy saying his worldie against barca in the champions league semis was a miskick has blown my mind. What a legend 🐐🐐🐐
I know right. Calling a Golazo a miss kick. And you know well he’s not boasting about it. He’s above all that
typical Scholes he never gives himself credit for anything. so humble
My favourite goal too lol kinda ruined it just bit but still a belter
I think because he sliced it, he may have been aiming for the opposite corner
It was! He sliced it, I love how humble Scholes is 👌🏽
Liverpool fan here for over fifty years and Paul Scholes was a great player an a proper decent fella.
One of the world's greatest midfielders, always kept himself humble and stayed out of the media as much as he could. A perfect role model, a natural talent and a genuine bloke - greatly missed by fans of the game. Thanks for the memories Scholesy, from a Leicester supporter.
Until he started sucking his daughters toes
His contribution to the team I love, his dry wit, his slightly grumpy attitude. his humble nature, I love it all. Legend. Absolute legend!
Dry wit, slightly grumpy and humble, you basically just described the north of England hahaha
@@celtic69 no point in writing my own comment either after what you put, lol spot on, but still wouldn't swap anything "Up North" for the South, rude and arrogant people, and extortionate prices, no thank you very much, UTB gimmie your high unemployment and ingrained depression anyday lol
@@leethistlethwaite4381 gods country mate, gods fkn country
Humility amd pure honesty.. true legend. England was blessed to have him.
@@celtic69 u know it pal 👍
There’s a touch of absolute purity about the way he sees the game. There’s also a touch of Karl Pilkington about him 😂
Shame that Scholes didn't like super heroes. I was hoping he was going to choose Bullshit Man.
I thought the same😂
So true
Ikr, i like where did i remember seeing this kind of grumpy demeanor before?
There is a beautiful simplicity about them both.
I've never liked the use of the word 'simple' to mean stupid or slow-minded because to me it means someone who is straightforward, honest and down to earth. I love people like that.
Dry humour of Scholes is my new favourite thing! Top bloke, humble and down to earth ~ LFC fan
Amazing how many Liverpool fans loved him.
Despite being a Salford lad, he names Anfield and St. James Park, his favourite away grounds.
Great bloke 👍
That was pure scholsey, one of a kind … tonnes of f words, admitting his mistakes, refusing answers to stupid questions, talking about his self-doubts as a kid, alcohol addiction, his upbringing, not caring what anyone thinks and like a proper workman talking about the most important thing - respect of his peers
What a player this man was. Even Iniesta said Scholes was different class.
Probably best midfielder ever along with xavi and zidane
@@jinz0 😂
@@jachnoavhnvaon you some nobody is laughing but the two players he just mentioned xavi and Zidane said scholes was the best they’d ever seen
@@comp6370 no they didn’t
@@comp6370
just to reply to you on this subject of players being asked about teammates and opposition players by journos in interviews. Zidane also said that David Beckham pirlo seedorf Edgar David's Deschamps where best midfielders he played with or against.
Xavi: xavi also said that inesta was the best midfielder he too mentioned zidane seedorf and Guardiola believe it or not as the best midfielders.
If utd fans or whatever want to believe scholes was the best midfielder of all time that's thier prerogative however wrong it clearly is but you have the right as do others to laugh at that suggestion .
I find it so funny how dry Scholes is - absolute legend
His daughter’s toe isn’t though
Maybe even more dry than Roy Keane who answered the super heroes question!
Reminds me of Carl Pilkington ! HIs straight , dry , matter of fact answers . lol
@@smyffmawzz Many Brits have this dry sense of humour. I'd say he's more like a grumpy jack dee than a Karl Pilkington
@@Ladtyuven223 Went through the comments looking for these type of comments and couldn't find any...good job. People are quick to forget.
Have never been remotely interested in football or footballers, but his guy is so humble and down to earth. To be able to say the most important goal/thing in his career was a mistake or miss kick is the mark of a real man.
You're watching a football related clip of 2 footballers. Yeah, not remotely interested in football 😴
@@TheDvdral How do you know what a complete stranger is interested in you bumptious arse.
I lived and worked in Manchester as a young man while this chap played football and my house mate loved the player and talked about him incessantly. I saw the title and reminded me of the time I lived in Manchester so watched the clip to see what my mate was so obsessed abut.
So not not interested in football or the players that play it.
And your point is.......
One of the greatest players to ever play the game. A true legend.
Arsenal fan.
Same here mate, big arsenal fan. Scholes was an amazing player.
Complete legend. No wonder United were so successful with him and Keane setting the standards in the dressing room not many like them anymore
Nah to be fair you don’t get many players who chew their daughters toes anymore
@@Joseph-vw1yd Yeah weird as fuck but you sound like a broken fuckin record.
@@Joseph-vw1yd united class of 92 all turned out to be proper sound guys didn’t they😂 classy club united 🤣
Think it was fergie setting the standards
This is so funny, laughed out so loud 🤣
Gotta love Scholesey and his sheer, down to earth, honesty when answering questions. 😂
Who writes these questions too 😂
Admitting he spooned it against barca 😂
This shouldn’t just be on UA-cam, this should also be on mainstream TV….. one of the best show out at the moment. Great guests, fantastic content and amazing productions. Well done Gary Neville.
not big and cheese enough to be mainstream. (And upsetting the Abu’s of course….)
I'm a Spurs fan and I'd have Scholes in any team I had to pick, the bloke was magic distributing the ball and I know loads of none Manu fans that would say the same. I think most people that have witnessed his whole career of the years has massive respect and appreciation for him. Also, I think he's one of the funniest people going.
If he doesn't ask about the toes he's bottled this
I'm here for the toes
Came here for a 'toe' comment, wasn't disappointed. 😂
Your mind is full crap
@@cismaangoonle7117 not as much crap as was inside scholes's mouth.
That image is disturbing, especially the caption: Twu Love.
What a player , humble and is uncomfortable with complements . Viera and Zidane fans of this man .
Great player
overrated gerrard much better
stop hating and get original. if you think scholes is overrated, you are delusional
add to Henry to the list
Fabian barthez had him in his best 11 he played with and said he was the best player at United
@@qasimdin7438 people who don't understand football say what you say.
I'm not a man United fan but that class of 92 will last in memories for decades. It was truly special. I agree also about the comment that one of them made about lack of teams these days.
I also love the way they are able to admire and respect the achievements of rivals.
Absolutely top quality video series
“u mean all of those lovely titles that LFC were photographed with…..”
😹
Two of the best that the UK has produced. Scoles, is one of the most technically gifted players ever full stop. Very intelligent too. It is peculiar to hear Paul talk about himself in this way. Very humble. Supremely talented. Neville, 100% determination and heart and work, but little in the way of natural talent, but at his peak he was the best right back in the country by miles and miles and miles and who would you pick in world football ahead of him. Excellent players, and I am an Arsenal fan. Grrrrr, despised and admired these guys in equal measure when they were players.
There'll never be another Paul Scholes. He's one of those players you wish could've played for eternity, he was so good. A humble legend too.
@@c.b.3883 Ultracrepidarian. Look up the word, it perfectly describes you, someone who comments on something they have no knowledge or clue about :D
@@twatassification Well said
@@c.b.3883 i played in Portugal and the English player, anybody i asked over there, rated the highest, was Scholes.
People in other countries, with a different football culture, rated scholes higher than English people did.
@@wunwun8875 You are exactly right but the main reason Scholes was not appreciated was because he was a Manchester United player! I am English so I can say this, most English fans are bitter arseholes with a childish agenda!
@@cleehomes yh that probably is a big part of it. I'm an Arsenal fan but have to just be honest, he was class.
Scholesy's directness is a breath of fresh air. Probably the most no nonsense former player.
Roy Keane has entered the chat.
@@mediacenterman8583 nah Scholes > Keane in that regard, Keane puts a act on sometimes
@@glennoconnor1130 all the time, media mongerer
@@glennoconnor1130 exactly. Keane acts like a no nonsense hardman but really he loves the cameras and the attention
Seriously? To me he just seems like a guy that put all his time and effort into football, and forgot to get a personality along the way.
What a player, love how humble and honest he is.
Bloody love how humble Scholesy is! Such an amazing player that doesn’t get anywhere near enough credit! If there’s anyone who is an example to kids when teaching them how to keep it simple….he’s it!!!
I'm a West Ham fan. The first time I saw him play at Old Trafford, absolutely everything went through him. His passing range was ridiculous, he absolutely split us apart.
A semi-pro footballer could have done that back then pal
@@Luca_Rumi yet here you are sitting on your couch with popcorn on your lap commenting anyone could’ve done that. Yeah sure pal why don’t you go and do it 😂

@@Luca_Rumi Is Hunt your surname by any chance?
@@Luca_Rumi you are pathetic. then why did he do it so much better than the likes of Gerrard etc?
"I know who superheroes are, I'm just not that into them" Scholesy please never change
This man is so humble.... U can see how he is also just no nonsense Which showed his game... I dedicate my drivers from midfield to this man... Great legends call HIM a legend... #respect
So humble, best midfielder england has ever produced his long ball passing was outrageous, brilliant video, not all too often has scholesy talked soo much briiliant 👍👍👍
hearing him saying he wasnt built to be a footballer then seeing what he achieved... legend
Puskas physique.
When we watch the modern footballers I can agree COMPLETELY with Paul’s assessment. Had he maximised his athletic powers in the gym then he could have possibly been even better. Can say the same for Zizou. We’ll never know.
Brilliant. Neville’s face when Scholes is talking about his drinking in early days ,priceless. Quality player . 👍
They grew up playing together, were quite tight and yet Neville seemed genuinely shocked by that revelation. Secret lives and all that.
Loved his remote contolled passes and unmatched awareness on the pitch. I'm glad I had a chance to watch Scholsey in his prime. Legened ❤
what a time to live through this genius's career.. we miss Scholes so much in our midfield
Class interview, can’t wait for the full length, Paul Scholes could walk passed me in the street/park, you’d look and think, did I go to school with him!
isnt this full length
past* Or you'd just think hey that's Paul Scholes.
@@Ph4ntomChow This is only the Q&A segment pal
That's what she said
Sussss ben
Scholesy is a legend, one of the best midfielders to ever play the game, and what a sense of humour.
@@c.b.3883 you are joking lol
@@c.b.3883 That's why Xavi... Zidane... R9.... Edgar Davids etc all classed him as the best midfielder in the world.
We might of had more chance of winning silverware with England if Sven didn’t throw him out on the left to accommodate the other central midfield players i understand that area was stacked with proper players but they took the piss with scholesy also part of why he retired internationally
Not true at all. In fact in my lifetime there’s been at least 4 spurs midfielders better than Scholes.
@@TheJohnCooperShow hahahahahahaha, you take the award fior the stupidest comment on here! Hahahahahahaha!
From a Celtic fan scholes was by far my favourite cm … the vision the passing .... the raw talent
I love Scholesy. What a player he was for United. Club legend.
Looking at him, its impossible to imagine how incredible this man was as a player, i feel bad for those who never watched him in his prime.
Tell me about it! In awe of that genius ginger.
…then they shall never bear witness, what with how ever many hundred vids u cud watch on youtube
Scholes is ‘boring’ and I love him for it. No non-sense answers, always straight to the point. Very honest about his stupidities. Just get on with it, no drama.
As a United supporter it was his shirt I always wanted, not Beckham, not Ronaldo, not Rooney, not Giggs. Just that No.18 shirt.
Scholesy is to funny without even trying! His humour reminds me of Karl Pilkington lol
Love his honesty and the simplicity of his answers
As a Bradford City fan, I’ll never forget that goal he scored. Most of the stadium applauded it. Absolute class player
When the opposition fans clap you know you've seen something special. Moments like that stick forever
Really was best midfielder England has ever seen
Brilliant. I remember the Brazilian Ronaldo getting an ovation at Old Trafford when subbed after his hat trick. Will always remember being there.
That’s his best goal for me
It looks like the English public are very respectful when it comes to these interviews but if I was on vacation in England and saw these two Legends walking about I will lose my shit.
As a United fan I'm glad they mentioned Saha. Deserves to be remembered as one of our best strikers even though he wasn't at his peak with us for that long. Had everything!
"as a Manc bin dipper" that's what your meant to be saying mate.😂
He's still pretty good
Nothing to do with being at his peak he always had ability just he could never stay fit that was only bad thing about him
He was at his peak but he was always injured
@@karlmeadows4986he was at his peak at Fulham
I love how they analyse the game. How they discuss different players and techniques, clearly knowledgeable. I also love how humble Scholes is about his capabilities, when really he was a very important player in the team.
Fantastic…… love the straight forward no nonsense…….
Such a brilliant, brilliant interview Paul Scholes is so humble in his ability, it’s the fact he couldn’t give a toss which makes him even more special. Arguably the best attacking midfielder in the world during his time, his peers all respect him and all of them put Scholesy as the number one midfield, quite remarkable!
Zidane was unarguably the best CAM in 1990s and 2000s.
Most important goal he scored against Barca and he just says 'Mis-kick'
@@prateekchauhan4280 Zidane ‘unarguably’ the best cam? He was a world cup merchant
@@jackdavies-downes6272 you mad bro?? 🧐🧐🧐
@@prateekchauhan4280 No I’m not mad. Zidane did bits for France and had some class moments. But name a consistent period of time in which he performed every single name? Players like Scholes had brilliant moments alongside great flashes such as the Barca goal. Players like Zidane only have those flashes like the volley but that’s what they get remembered for which makes us remember them being better than they actually were. Scholes was consistent for united for years and was part of a football domination, Zidane never had that- go look at the stats and come back. Not to mention the fact that Zidane never even touched the premier league

The no - nonsense man of football , so refreshing. A genius and a legend.
Quality interviews, summed up by the fact that I feel I know I appreciate more about the nice human being Paul Scholes is . A pleasure to watch
I've watched Scholes play all my life and I never realised how much of a great person he was! Legendary guy!
hard to imagine that two such solid characters could exist in todays game or times. One of if not the best of Gary's interviews so far!
All of this is media trained out of the players from a young age so the HR and marketing people are happy. It kills individualism. But you see the treatment rashford got for talking for himself and the effect that had on his game. They walk a tightrope more scrutinised than politicians
Top player and honest guy. Wish we still had footballers like this
do you know something? I'm absolutely stunned to see Paul Scholes on the overlap at this moment in time
To be fair Paul Scholes has given answers to interview questions like you wouldn’t believe
If you'd asked me this time last week if Scholesy would be on the overlap I'd've said no way. It is a what-would-be unbelievable coup.
I've been calling for an independent paul scholes interview, for the last 12-18 months
Orange juice doesn't go with pizza, Jeff
This is Manchester United.
Scholesy’s laugh cuts itself off as if his brain has said “right, that’s enough laughing”
Lol. Your comment there.
I had to activate the subtitles and even they didn’t work 😂😂😂
What a player so humble and down to earth, can't help but like him.
I’m a lifelong city fan.
56 years old.
I have no qualms in saying Scholes is in my top 5 players I’ve ever seen play. On his day he was amazing.
All the classic midfielders rank him as the GOAT. He was unplayable, forever a legend.
Diego Forlan was asked in an interview down in Argentina who was the best player he played alongside during his tenure with Man Utd… yep he said Scholes without even hesitating which is mad when you consider all the talent Utd had during that era Van Nistelrooy, Beckham, young CR7, Keano, Giggs. 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. Rose tinted glasses on. Some serious cognitive dissonance amongst Utd fans. The palpable copium on display is desperate.
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 😊👍
A player where EVERY touch mattered. You’ll only know how good he was when you saw him in the flesh.
Amazing interview and what a super footballer Paul was... For me, one of the best in his position of all time
Exactly that! Some player, some guy.
Can't argue with that mate 🫵
“What do you look for in a footballer?”
Great question 👌🏾
“Sometime’s your head just f**king goes.” Holy mackerel that Fergie story at 15:00 is amazing.
What a class player this lad was. A proper satnav on the pitch and just offered so much when he was on the ball, always aware, active, lively and incredibly humble. Wonderful player and one of the best professional Sunday league-esque tacklers about! 🤣🤣 Class. 👏
From Anjuna to this channel. I see your name plastered all over UA-cam 🤣
Love the word satnav
Fairplay mate🫵
Crazy how such an elite player like Scholsey can be so humble he never praises himself n always downplays it when people praise him the real GOAT of prem midfielders 🐐🐐
As an Arsenal fan, I believe Scholes was a genius. Top footballing IQ with the technical ability to match.
What an absolute G. So funny with that really honest but then also naturally guarded and suspicious thing he's got going on. Never trying to big himself up or show off. Quite sweet natured and kind but with that working class 'what u looking at' vibe. Class
The humblest man ever, what a player
No doubt One of the greatest midfielders of all time
Lol, typical EPL fanboy.
@@duhusker4383 he is objectively one of the best midfielders of all-time regardless of league. He’s top 3 in the prem
Paul Scholes is just my favorite player of all time, he is complete.
Like most Liverpool fans I always admired Paul Scholes as a person and a genuine "World class" footballer. No airs and graces, a working class lad.
"I was a good footballer, I suppose" is the understatement of my life time.
17:54 …. “Shit question you get a shit answer” 🤣 old school Footballer’s man. Brilliant
So honest and humble. There have been a lot of beautiful goals scored by even worse miskicks but no one admitted. But that goal against Barca, 70% of the Scholes's style, he deserves it.
Am glad to say these lads played for my club scholes most underrated player ever! True legend! Would loved to of been a fly on the wall in the changing room back in that era!🔥 unreal!🖤
What a legend. The Karl Pilkington of football when it comes to interviews though haha
And you are the Karl pilkington of the comments section my man 😂
@@freckledleprechaun6433 ill take it
Love Scholseys dry sense of humour. Tells it as it is. Proper Manc ! So funny
One of the best interviews I've heard. Really enjoyed that
“If you can walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch” - from “If” by Rudyard Kipling.
Scholes is the living embodiment of that line.
Love the way Scholes talks,humble
The greatest midfielder to grace the prem, not hearing otherwise
Then social media isn't for you then
Nowhere near. Many ahead of him.
Even Utd fans didn’t think he was that great. Never once voted for him for Utds FPOTY.
I respect this opinion🤝
Ooh don't say that some kids who never watched football before 2018 will think otherwise
I can’t put him above Lampard and Gerrard. Both were just more complete and better players but Scholes is third behind them two
Scholesy for me was the best midfielder in the world in his prime he had everything in his game he could pass long or short and put the ball on a sixpence, he could dribble and beat men, he could score goals tap ins or spectacular goals and he was a box to box midfielder too, he could mix it if he had to he had that wee nasty streak in him as well. Forget your Gerrards and your Lampards they weren't a patch on Scholesy he was the complete modern day midfielder, what a player.
Kevin de Bruyne is basically Scholes' spiritual successor. They're not exactly mirror images of each other in terms of what they provide, but they're share many traits. They are both two of the best midfielders of their eras, they're both a little grumpy, interspersedly humorous and have that timid amicability that's largely uncharacteristic for footballers.
Now I see why the pair of Keane & Scholes was so effective. Apart from their great footballing abilities both of them 've got similar personalities.
Brutally honest & amazing sarcasm.
and they probably drank gallons together throughout the years 😂😂
I totally agree with you here
