He Is A Goal Scorer, Not A

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.

He Was A Player That Hasn't Had To Use His Legs Even When He Was Nineteen Years Of Age Because His First Two Yards Were In His Head.

There Was Nothing Wrong With The Performance, Apart From Throwing Away The Game.

Only 38 Per Cent Of Players In The Premier League Are English; That Is A Damning Statistic. Soon, The England Manager Will Have To Go Scouting For Players In The Championship - And When I Say 'soon' I Mean The Next Four Or Five Years, Perhaps Even For The Next World Cup.

I Run An Academy In Spain For Young Footballers Who Are Released By Their Clubs And Who, In My Opinion, Deserve A Second Chance. It Is A Rewarding Job For Me, But One That Also Reveals Many Of The Faults In The English Game.
