A Quote by Chris Coleman

When I was a kid and my dad was playing for Man United, I used to stand behind the goal watching Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Mark Hughes, Andrei Kanchelskis, Ryan Giggs... and I used to try to save all their shots that went wide, imagining I was deciding the title for United.
I liked the generation of Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs, who I admired. I was a little bit jealous of Karel Poborsky who played in Manchester and experienced great matches. I know he still feels that love.
There's no way Ryan Giggs is another George Best. He's another Ryan Giggs
No, no, Gary Neville was a fantastic full back. He would genuinely get to the by-line. He played without fear. He was a leader.
When he's at the top of his game, there's not a team in the world that can handle Giggs' speed and penetration
Gary Neville played a similar position to me. Defensively and offensively, he was a quality player for Manchester United and England. His trophies speak for themselves.
I have cried twice in my life watching a football player; the first one was Maradona and the second was Ryan Giggs.
Players such as Scholes and Gerrard, Ryan Giggs and Jamie Carragher have consistently performed at the top level and played hundreds of games. It's fantastic, I'd love that. But you never know what's round the corner.
People always say it's a shame someone as talented as Ryan Giggs or George Best before him never played in a World Cup or European Championship and I don't want my name to be added to that list.
Mark Hughes played until he was nearly 40 at a decent level, and I think I can do the same.
I have respected every manager I have played under, but if you can't learn from someone like Mark Hughes, it is going to be hard for you.
Gary Neville said he thought it was a waste of time playing for England because he has not won anything. I kind of understand where he is coming from. But the players we have here, a lot of them have won things and have the attitude that we need to win.
I'm only doing my job, and if I score against Mark Hughes' team, it's nothing personal.

Scholes was probably the best English midfielder since Bobby Charlton. He was such a brilliant long passer that he could choose a hair on the head of any team-mate answering the call of nature at our training ground. Gary Neville once thought he had found refuge in a bush, but Scholesy found him from 40 yeards. He inflicted a similar long-range missile strike, once, on Peter Schmeichel, and was chased round the training ground for his impertinence. Scholesy would have made a first class-sniper.
When I played for Stuttgart, I met Manchester United and Chelsea. With United, I immediately think of the duels with Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes and with Chelsea, it was John Terry. Those players are symbols of their clubs and the success they had at that time.
