Paul Scholes

If you want a measure of how private a place the dressing room was when I was growing up at Manchester United, consider this: even Sir Alex Ferguson would knock before coming into the dressing room at the Cliff, the old training ground. The dressing room is for the players - and the players only.

Paul Scholes

I try to work on houses not cars. If I was as good at working on cars as I was on houses maybe I would. But I'm not.
