Paul Scholes’ 18 Questions with Gary Neville | Overlap Xtra 

Wicked gesture don’t seem to have many of them types but absolutely amazing midfielder

U lucky man. Hes my idol also. Love him

Hey bro. KEEP IT SAFE… bcos itll likely be an opportunity that never happen again…. and Paul Scholes will never happen again either

I did the same with bryan Robson when I was a kid in the 80’s , I also got a signed photo, don’t know where it is but was a great morning receiving that letter from my hero

a good lad

Zero ego? Did u miss the bit about him refusing to play bcos he was left out 1 game?? 😂😂 Love Scholesy but no players at that level have zero ego mate

@@WayofWyrd It’s completely his ego lol let’s not be silly. It was his ego telling him I’m not playing with the reserves & kids im way too good for that. Come on now

Zero ego???

@@WayofWyrd Can’t really be stubborn in this context without an Ego behind it haha but yeah no worries. All top players have egos tbh it’s a necessary trait for an elite athlete tbh.

@@mloose7870 fair point, but you have to have little ego to make it to those levels

this is prime example enough^ getting the most minimal love from out arch rivals thsnks to Scholsey 😛

Do you think he was better player than stevie G.

@@kamranzaid2272 no not even close

Same here, they were just brilliant ❤

Neville is reaping, Scholes, not so much................

You’re definitely a plastic

Im a city fan and its a great interview. (Easy now city and lpool doing so much better than united now right 😂)

Liverpool fan simping over mancs... yeah defo from south London or Birmingham

@@Hacktheplanet_ Liverpool?

Bites his daughter's toe nails

I bet you’ve never been to old Trafford

Guy needs punched in

​@@charlielad6124 she's fit, can't be him

If i have to compare to scholes to other sport players, for me, he is like Pippen, a hard worker, with lot of impact on the game, and such a great view on the the game.

Aye, Xavi was a fraud.

Dunno why nev was laughing

Absolutely. Such an icon.

not brilliant ,the best

He was our Messi…..

I agreeeee

ah what ah dextur

I agree but if you listen to him talk about current player's these days as a pundit you can tell his standards are high and that he's no stranger to high expectations

Nobody assumes that, and I'm not a man united fan

Overrated

@@charlielad6124 nonce

Proper lad was very good at football

When listing someone’s attributes, name the positive qualities first, and lastly the negatively written one.

Ahead of Keane or Veria, even Paul Ince????????

"One of the"

@@matthewdoyle3877 miles better than Paul Ince. Isn’t even close. Zidane said it best when asked what it’s like to be the best player in the world - “ask Paul Scholes”.

@@matthewdoyle3877 not same positions... Zidane was more of a 10, in majority of his career...

@@anishl6430 Paul also played as a number 10. However we're not comparing rather just saying he was good

Dry wit, slightly grumpy and humble, you basically just described the north of England hahaha

@@celtic69 no point in writing my own comment either after what you put, lol spot on, but still wouldn't swap anything "Up North" for the South, rude and arrogant people, and extortionate prices, no thank you very much, UTB gimmie your high unemployment and ingrained depression anyday lol

@@leethistlethwaite4381 gods country mate, gods fkn country

Humility amd pure honesty.. true legend. England was blessed to have him.

@@celtic69 u know it pal 👍

Also Guardiola and Raul ranked Scholes as one of the best in that time

I was surprised to hear him say he didn’t consider himself built to be a footballer when he’s so highly thought of by his peers.

@@vivelaresistance3239 He means physically. You knew at school who the natural athletes and footballers were, they used to play most of the sports and were decent at all of them. I think he means he was one of the kids who never in a million years looked like a future professional sportsman.

G.N Ppl will like these quick fire question - They like 'em P.S There not very quick fire though are they? - You ask me a question & I thought it's a quick fire answer but then you keep staring at me! 😂😂😂 13:15

I know right. Calling a Golazo a miss kick. And you know well he’s not boasting about it. He’s above all that

typical Scholes he never gives himself credit for anything. so humble

My favourite goal too lol kinda ruined it just bit but still a belter

I think because he sliced it, he may have been aiming for the opposite corner

It was! He sliced it, I love how humble Scholes is 👌🏽

Probably best midfielder ever along with xavi and zidane

@@jinz0 😂

@@jachnoavhnvaon you some nobody is laughing but the two players he just mentioned xavi and Zidane said scholes was the best they’d ever seen

@@comp6370 no they didn’t

@@comp6370 just to reply to you on this subject of players being asked about teammates and opposition players by journos in interviews. Zidane also said that David Beckham pirlo seedorf Edgar David's Deschamps where best midfielders he played with or against. Xavi: xavi also said that inesta was the best midfielder he too mentioned zidane seedorf and Guardiola believe it or not as the best midfielders. If utd fans or whatever want to believe scholes was the best midfielder of all time that's thier prerogative however wrong it clearly is but you have the right as do others to laugh at that suggestion .

Until he started sucking his daughters toes

Amazing how many Liverpool fans loved him. Despite being a Salford lad, he names Anfield and St. James Park, his favourite away grounds. Great bloke 👍

Shame that Scholes didn't like super heroes. I was hoping he was going to choose Bullshit Man.

I thought the same😂

So true

Ikr, i like where did i remember seeing this kind of grumpy demeanor before?

There is a beautiful simplicity about them both. I've never liked the use of the word 'simple' to mean stupid or slow-minded because to me it means someone who is straightforward, honest and down to earth. I love people like that.

His daughter’s toe isn’t though

Maybe even more dry than Roy Keane who answered the super heroes question!

Reminds me of Carl Pilkington ! HIs straight , dry , matter of fact answers . lol

@@smyffmawzz Many Brits have this dry sense of humour. I'd say he's more like a grumpy jack dee than a Karl Pilkington

@@Ladtyuven223 Went through the comments looking for these type of comments and couldn't find any...good job. People are quick to forget.

You're watching a football related clip of 2 footballers. Yeah, not remotely interested in football 😴

@@TheDvdral How do you know what a complete stranger is interested in you bumptious arse. I lived and worked in Manchester as a young man while this chap played football and my house mate loved the player and talked about him incessantly. I saw the title and reminded me of the time I lived in Manchester so watched the clip to see what my mate was so obsessed abut. So not not interested in football or the players that play it. And your point is.......

not big and cheese enough to be mainstream. (And upsetting the Abu’s of course….)

Nah to be fair you don’t get many players who chew their daughters toes anymore

@@Joseph-vw1yd Yeah weird as fuck but you sound like a broken fuckin record.

@@Joseph-vw1yd united class of 92 all turned out to be proper sound guys didn’t they😂 classy club united 🤣

Think it was fergie setting the standards

This is so funny, laughed out so loud 🤣

Who writes these questions too 😂

Admitting he spooned it against barca 😂

Same here mate, big arsenal fan. Scholes was an amazing player.

overrated gerrard much better

stop hating and get original. if you think scholes is overrated, you are delusional

add to Henry to the list

Fabian barthez had him in his best 11 he played with and said he was the best player at United

@@qasimdin7438 people who don't understand football say what you say.

@@c.b.3883 Ultracrepidarian. Look up the word, it perfectly describes you, someone who comments on something they have no knowledge or clue about :D

@@twatassification Well said

@@c.b.3883 i played in Portugal and the English player, anybody i asked over there, rated the highest, was Scholes. People in other countries, with a different football culture, rated scholes higher than English people did.

@@wunwun8875 You are exactly right but the main reason Scholes was not appreciated was because he was a Manchester United player! I am English so I can say this, most English fans are bitter arseholes with a childish agenda!

@@cleehomes yh that probably is a big part of it. I'm an Arsenal fan but have to just be honest, he was class.

Roy Keane has entered the chat.

@@mediacenterman8583 nah Scholes > Keane in that regard, Keane puts a act on sometimes

@@glennoconnor1130 all the time, media mongerer

@@glennoconnor1130 exactly. Keane acts like a no nonsense hardman but really he loves the cameras and the attention

Seriously? To me he just seems like a guy that put all his time and effort into football, and forgot to get a personality along the way.

I'm here for the toes

Came here for a 'toe' comment, wasn't disappointed. 😂

Your mind is full crap

@@cismaangoonle7117 not as much crap as was inside scholes's mouth.

That image is disturbing, especially the caption: Twu Love.

isnt this full length

past* Or you'd just think hey that's Paul Scholes.

@@Ph4ntomChow This is only the Q&A segment pal

That's what she said

Sussss ben

“u mean all of those lovely titles that LFC were photographed with…..” 😹

A semi-pro footballer could have done that back then pal

@@Luca_Rumi yet here you are sitting on your couch with popcorn on your lap commenting anyone could’ve done that. Yeah sure pal why don’t you go and do it 😂

@@Luca_Rumi which premier league team were you playing for at the time Mike? I forget you now if I’m honest but it’s been a while.

@@Luca_Rumi Is Hunt your surname by any chance?

@@Luca_Rumi you are pathetic. then why did he do it so much better than the likes of Gerrard etc?

They grew up playing together, were quite tight and yet Neville seemed genuinely shocked by that revelation. Secret lives and all that.

"as a Manc bin dipper" that's what your meant to be saying mate.😂

He's still pretty good

Nothing to do with being at his peak he always had ability just he could never stay fit that was only bad thing about him

He was at his peak but he was always injured

@@karlmeadows4986he was at his peak at Fulham

Puskas physique.

When we watch the modern footballers I can agree COMPLETELY with Paul’s assessment. Had he maximised his athletic powers in the gym then he could have possibly been even better. Can say the same for Zizou. We’ll never know.

When the opposition fans clap you know you've seen something special. Moments like that stick forever

Really was best midfielder England has ever seen

Brilliant. I remember the Brazilian Ronaldo getting an ovation at Old Trafford when subbed after his hat trick. Will always remember being there.

That’s his best goal for me

It looks like the English public are very respectful when it comes to these interviews but if I was on vacation in England and saw these two Legends walking about I will lose my shit.

Zidane was unarguably the best CAM in 1990s and 2000s.

Most important goal he scored against Barca and he just says 'Mis-kick'

@@prateekchauhan4280 Zidane ‘unarguably’ the best cam? He was a world cup merchant

@@jackdavies-downes6272 you mad bro?? 🧐🧐🧐

@@prateekchauhan4280 No I’m not mad. Zidane did bits for France and had some class moments. But name a consistent period of time in which he performed every single name? Players like Scholes had brilliant moments alongside great flashes such as the Barca goal. Players like Zidane only have those flashes like the volley but that’s what they get remembered for which makes us remember them being better than they actually were. Scholes was consistent for united for years and was part of a football domination, Zidane never had that- go look at the stats and come back. Not to mention the fact that Zidane never even touched the premier league

Tell me about it! In awe of that genius ginger.

…then they shall never bear witness, what with how ever many hundred vids u cud watch on youtube

@@c.b.3883 you are joking lol

@@c.b.3883 That's why Xavi... Zidane... R9.... Edgar Davids etc all classed him as the best midfielder in the world.

We might of had more chance of winning silverware with England if Sven didn’t throw him out on the left to accommodate the other central midfield players i understand that area was stacked with proper players but they took the piss with scholesy also part of why he retired internationally

Not true at all. In fact in my lifetime there’s been at least 4 spurs midfielders better than Scholes.

@@TheJohnCooperShow hahahahahahaha, you take the award fior the stupidest comment on here! Hahahahahahaha!

Normal? he sucks his daughters feet...

Love how Scholes just don’t rate himself as a footballer lol

for me it was Ryan Giggs

Glory supporter

@@caseyfalconer7347 he 100% rate himself.

Isn't it mad all that talent at Utd and people claim it doesn't help him look better. All that talent, so much of it that the fans and players never, ever, voted for him as their best player. Rose tinted glasses on. Some serious cognitive dissonance amongst Utd fans. The palpable copium on display is desperate.

Frankie de Jong is better

@@alexbelotti1603 Stop taking drugs 😂

@@alexbelotti1603 if I was Tony Soprano, I would've wacked you for this stupid comment....

@@TheMusicfan189 Aguerooooooo

@@hussey1990 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

To be fair Paul Scholes has given answers to interview questions like you wouldn’t believe

If you'd asked me this time last week if Scholesy would be on the overlap I'd've said no way. It is a what-would-be unbelievable coup.

I've been calling for an independent paul scholes interview, for the last 12-18 months

Orange juice doesn't go with pizza, Jeff

This is Manchester United.

All of this is media trained out of the players from a young age so the HR and marketing people are happy. It kills individualism. But you see the treatment rashford got for talking for himself and the effect that had on his game. They walk a tightrope more scrutinised than politicians

Exactly that! Some player, some guy.

Can't argue with that mate 🫵

Lol. Your comment there.

From Anjuna to this channel. I see your name plastered all over RU-vid 🤣

Love the word satnav Fairplay mate🫵

I love Scholes's signature tackle 😂

Yeah he was amazing but Keane was the key man in that era, Utd haven't had anyone like that for a while, we had Vidic and Rio for a while but they weren't anywhere close to Keanes level of leadership

Lol, typical EPL fanboy.

@@duhusker4383 he is objectively one of the best midfielders of all-time regardless of league. He’s top 3 in the prem

Makes Gerrard look like a pub player.

Respect bro!

@@tsb3208 Gerrard had none of the genius Scholes had, Scholes could change games with a single pass, while Gerrard was a great leader who was very good at most things. Look at the highlights of Gerrard long passes the champions league posted a few weeks ago, the passes are all misplaced, too much power while Scholes never missed

@@tsb3208 the guy is paying a compliment and you still come out with crap… although im a united fan and prefer scholes, gerrard was an awesome player too!

@@martinh1309 Waffling shit.

...and I'm loving watching these two after our win against Leeds today !!
