Tottenham have impressed me. They haven't thrown in the towel even though they have been under the gun.

Paul Scholes is my favourite player. He epitomises the spirit of Manchester United and everything that is good about football.

I have no hesitation in putting a name to the embodiment of all that I think is best about football. It's Paul Scholes. Players like Denis Law and George Best who I enjoyed so much as team-mates and now, finally, players I have watched closely in the Alex Ferguson era. And in so many ways Scholes is my favourite. I love his nous and conviction that he will find a way to win, to make the killer pass or produce the decisive volley.

Im looking forward to the World Cup because I believe Wayne Rooney could be one of the major finds in world football.

Beckham is unusual. He was desperate to be a footballer. His mind was made up when he was nine or ten. Many kids think that it's beyond them. But you can't succeed without practising at any sport.
