“English football has always prided passion, heart and determination – to the extent where it may even overshadow talent. Rather the grit than the glamour. Amongst this rubble of resolution there is always the glint of a rough diamond that catches the eye. This such diamond was picked up, dusted down and sent for polishing twenty eight years ago. A fourteen-year-old, Salford-born boy was scouted by one of football’s most prestigious clubs – Manchester United. They had welcomed the most iconic ginger-haired player to the world of football. A moment all purists would forever be grateful for. Paul Scholes is possibly the most undervalued treasure of football’s over century-long existence. Ironic to say that, as he has been considered the best central midfielder of his generation, by Pep Guardiola no less. A generation that has seen talents like Alonso and Pirlo grace the game.” Think Football
