It took me 35 years of being involved at a decent level of football to become manager at a great club like Celtic.
Gordon StrachanPaul Scholes has been the best England midfield player for 30-odd years. You'd probably have to go back to Bobby Charlton to find someone who could do as much as Scholes. When the ball arrives at his feet he could tell you where every player on that pitch is at that moment. His awareness is superb.
