When A Player Gets To 30, So

I Didn't Say Them Things That I Said.

It Was My Proudest Moment As A Manager When England Drew 0-0 With Italy In Rome To Qualify For The World Cup Finals. Fifteen Years Later, The Stakes Are Equally High For Both Countries As They Go Head-to-head For A Semi-final Place At The European Championship.

The Old Adage That You Shouldn't Change A Winning Team Doesn't Apply In Modern International Football Because Managers Have To Study The Opposition And Pick Players Who Exploit Their Weaknesses.

There Was Nothing Wrong With The Performance, Apart From Throwing Away The Game.

Paul Scholes Was The Jewel In The Crown, The First Name On The Teamsheet And Unquestionably One Of The Finest England Players Of The Age. He Flourished At Once In The International Arena, Which Didn't Surprise Me Given His Fabulous All-round Attributes. He Had Almost Everything - Talent, Intelligence, Courage. His Only Blemish, Which He Never Really Shook Off, Was His Tackling. There Was Always The Chance Of That Red Mist Coming Down. Overall, Though, Paul Was A Wonderful Player And He's A Lovely Lad, A Credit To His Club And To Himself.
