S1·E100 Paul Scholes: Stepping Away From TV, Caring for his son & United Career

Paul Scholes joins us as a surprise guest for our 100th episode, and it turned into one of the most open and genuine conversations we’ve ever had.

He talks about stepping away from punditry, how his life revolves around caring for his son Aiden, and what family life looks like alongside his role at Salford City.

Of course, we also talk football. From being mentored by Nobby Stiles and having a pint the night before youth games, to starting up front before moving into midfield, and what it was really like playing alongside Roy Keane. Scholes gives brilliant insight into his current work at Salford, helping young midfielders with timing, finishing, and learning how to slow the game down in the box.

He also reflects on retiring from England at 29, the challenge of playing out wide, and what was really going through his head during that final tournament under Sven.
