🏴✨ 13 years ago today, Paul Scholes came out of retirement to play against Manchester City in the FA Cup. He had to buy a £50 pair of boots from JJB Sports for the match... 😅
"We were playing Man City away. We get in the dressing room and my shirt’s there and I’m named as sub... I had to sort my boots out. I had to go down to the local shop and buy a pair of boots because I didn’t have any! I didn’t have a sponsor, and we couldn’t let Nike know."
“I remember the game itself. We were 3-0 up when I came on and we were against ten men, and then it went back to 3-2! I was taking my gear off ready to come on and [City coach] David Platt said to me ‘what the hell are you doing?’ and I went ‘no idea!’"
