Class is permanent.

Paul Scholes, please stop.  We can't take this any longer.  There's no more saliva. 40-years-young and still completely and utterly irresistible.  It will be a long, long time before the United legend loses that authoritative command of a football. He won another medal tonight in Bangkok as part of the Global Legends Series, starring for Team Cannavaro as they beat Team Figo 8-5. Global Legends Series - Bangkok And Scholesy's two goals summed up perfectly how bloody dangerous that right foot of his is.  The first, the most delicate, cheeky chip over the head of a stunned Jens Lehmann who just shrugged his shoulders in awe.  The second, a rifled blast burning a hole in the same net. Surely someone could be making use of this genius still. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgDDEPUASgw
