Paul Scholes. The best! Great player, person, friend!

I developed a mechanism so that whatever mistakes I made, I would bounce straight back. Whatever was happening off the pitch, I could put it to one side and maintain my form. Call it mental resilience or a strong mind, but that is what we mean when we talk about experience in a football team.

We always looked forward to playing Aston Villa to hear him mangle Ugo Ehiogu's name. "Make sure you pick up Ehugu, Ehogy, whatever his name is."

Paul Scholes is the best player I've ever played with. There's talent in every part of his game.

It will be a difficult couple of days. It's difficult now and it will be difficult tomorrow.

Paul Scholes. The best! Great player, person, friend!

There are lots of concerns facing English football but for me the major one is the way in which football clubs are run by owners, whether they are growing organically and sustainably and how that is being policed by the football authorities.
