Paul Scholes is known as the perfect English gentleman, and the last man to be eager to start a controversy. His affable disposition was on view again on Tuesday night when he visited the Santiago Bernabeu in journalistic capacities during the Real Madrid vs Liverpool Champions League match.
Luis Figo once said of him, “I’m star-struck when I see Paul Scholes because you never see him. On the pitch you can’t catch him. Off the pitch he disappears.”
A section of Liverpool away fans started to chant "Ginger Manc Tw*t" to attract his attention, and Scholesy’s reaction shows just why he is as popular as he is among fans and players alike. There are many who would have taken the banter in a completely different way.
