36 years young today. The model professional. Our ginger prince.
I share a little in common with Scholesy, we are both asthmatics (although mine is only slightly) and we both had Osgood Schlatter’s Disease (a knee condition that affects young athletes) when we were younger. When I used to play the game, before injury halted me; people remarked how I was like Scholes but I could tackle! 😉
So you see for me, even though I stopped playing years ago it’s been quite nice to play out my football missed years through Mr Scholes. Not a bad footballer to follow is he?
Happy Birthday Paul.
P.S. A 19th League title would be a great birthday gift for me next year (hint hint!)
Steve Ferguson had taken over & re-branded The Faithful MUFC website back in the summer of 2014 and is now the owner and editor of the site. Steve, from Ashton-Under-Lyne in Greater Manchester, is a 35-year-old life long Manchester United fan, travelling over the globe to see the Reds play.
Steve has been lucky enough to be at both the 1999 and 2008 Champions League finals, seeing Manchester United lift the biggest trophy in the World, none more exciting than that faithful night in Barcelona in 99.
The website is a blog, but also hopes to deliver the latest Manchester United news from around the internet too, linked up with our growing twitter account which is @TheFaithfulMUFC, give it a follow as we will follow you back as soon as we can.
I love the fact that Scholesy has hardly aged either – he still looks almost exactly the same.
