    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.

    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.
