Title: Scholes Retires Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 09:14:19 Easily the best player of my generation. Doesn't crave the fame and just enjoyed playing football.
Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: china red on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 09:20:03 Great player who could be a real cunt at times.
Had a good career Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: THE FLASH on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 09:20:09 Very Good, however....if he loves playing fooball that much wouldnt he drop a division?
Its just a shame these guys are so rich that they dont have to , unlike the old days. Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: stfcinbmth on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 09:23:54 Very Good, however....if he loves playing fooball that much wouldnt he drop a division? You never know, he might turn up at Oldham Great player, great career Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 09:25:15 I hope he stays in the game in some capacity. Don't think he'd make it as a manager, but reckon he'd be a great coach.
Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: Langers on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 09:29:16 Already said he is staying on as a coach at united.
Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 09:32:55 great player.only flaw was his tackling.
Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: sheepshagger on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 09:38:05 Too early to retire in my opinion - still looked (for me) their best midfielder when he came on the pitch...
Rumour is he will take over their Reserves moving forward... Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: mrverve on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 10:06:58 Technically, the best midfielder England has produced since Bobby Charlton.
Shame he retired from England at 29. Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 10:13:54 676 games played for Man U is a fabulous achievement in itself.
As Mr Verve says, probably retired from playing for England too early, he would still get into our midfield now I would have thought! Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: mrverve on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 10:19:07 He retired because he played under Sven on the left hand side. He has asthma I think and couldnt do all the tracking back plus couldn't deal with the hot climate at tournaments. Does anyone remember his two goals against Georgia for England at the old Wembley? Brilliant.
Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: thedarkprince on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 10:24:05 Shame he retired from England at 29. Was it a shame though, hadn't been reproducing his club form for a long time (sound familiar?). Probably helped him prolong his career. Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 11:02:34 He retired because he played under Sven on the left hand side. He has asthma I think and couldnt do all the tracking back plus couldn't deal with the hot climate at tournaments. Does anyone remember his two goals against Georgia for England at the old Wembley? Brilliant. And the hat trick against Poland (I think?). Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: mrverve on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 11:10:02 Was it a shame though, hadn't been reproducing his club form for a long time (sound familiar?). Probably helped him prolong his career. He went three years without scoring for England until he finally did at Euro 2004 against Croatia, ironically his penultimate game for England. I still think he could've played until around 2006 time, one last world cup perhaps. Title: Re: Scholes Retires Post by: Bob's Orange on Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 11:19:46 And the hat trick against Poland (I think?). The 2 goals at Hampden against Scotland are my favourites!! |
