He Is A Goal Scorer, Not A Natural Born One - Not Yet. That Takes Time.

Paul Scholes Was The Jewel In The Crown, The First Name On The Teamsheet And Unquestionably One Of The Finest England Players Of The Age. He Flourished At Once In The International Arena, Which Didn't Surprise Me Given His Fabulous All-round Attributes. He Had Almost Everything - Talent, Intelligence, Courage. His Only Blemish, Which He Never Really Shook Off, Was His Tackling. There Was Always The Chance Of That Red Mist Coming Down. Overall, Though, Paul Was A Wonderful Player And He's A Lovely Lad, A Credit To His Club And To Himself.

The Old Adage That You Shouldn't Change A Winning Team Doesn't Apply In Modern International Football Because Managers Have To Study The Opposition And Pick Players Who Exploit Their Weaknesses.

If There Is Any Bad Feeling I Hope It's Against Me And Not My Players - I May Put My Tin Helmet On Without Them Seeing!
