You rarely come across the complete footballer, but Scholes is as close to it as you can get. One of my regrets is that the opportunity to play alongside him never presented itself during my career.

Scholes is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation.

I am proud of where I come from and I will never forget the people I grew up with.

Obviously fashion is a completely different world from football.

If Giggs was French, Pires or myself would have been on the bench.

Life is full of regrets, but it doesn't pay to look back.

Ronaldinho is a special player, but Thierry Henry is probably technically the most gifted footballer ever to play the beautiful game.
