“At every point I wished that I was born English. They need to make it colder in here. You could hang meat in this room. But, yeah...I grew up in a very English household. My folks were from Liverpool.

“I've still got Paul Scholes' shirt at home which I swapped with him once. When I was at Liverpool he was one of the players I liked most. Maybe he's not valued as much as he should be in England because of the style of football there and because he keeps a low profile. Perhaps he would have been more valued in Spain, where midfielders like him form part of the 'ideal.' Fans in Spain rate him very highly and I admire him a huge amount.” ShouldHas BeensStillsHomeFormPlayerFansStyleFootballHugeAmountLowsIdealsEnglandRateAdmireShirtsSpainProfileLiverpoolScholesPaul ScholesMidfielders Author:Xabi Alonso
