“I really rate Paul Scholes, because he hasn't got the high profile of many of the Manchester United players, he doesn't get too much attention, but he is one very good player. He is an intelligent player, he works hard and he scores some great goals. He is not flamboyant and is a quiet lad off the pitch but he is a tremendous asset to Manchester United and to England. He has already got my vote as player of the year.” YearsHardGoalUnitedAttentionToo MuchPlayerHard WorkQuietVoteEnglandIntelligentRateVery GoodScoreAssetsProfileManchesterLadManchester UnitedScholesFlamboyantHigh ProfilePaul Scholes Author:Tony Adams

It's heartening to hear music that looks to find its own particular place.” WellsLooksLongPurposeStrongCommonAttentionPlayerWrittenHeardParticularSeriousDemandCommandResolvePartisansRefreshingDialectWell WrittenUncompromisingCommon Purpose Author:Steve Swallow
