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.
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.
