We’re in Oldham for Paul’s full interview, brought to you by Sky Bet, as we take in his fantastic gym and the local scenery.
He opens up on what life has been like for him since retiring from playing and a sometimes difficult home life.
Paul also shares his thoughts on what went wrong for Ole at United and how he nearly came out of international retirement for Capello’s England.

Best interview on the overlap yet, Scholesy opened up like never before and it was a refreshing, honest insight into his thought process, career, his family’s life and the subject of autism. Brilliant player, world class talent and has retired gracefully. Legend.

Probably my favourite one so far. Being a Liverpool fan the Carra one was decent and the Gerrard one was ok, this one was great.
As a United-fan with an autistic son aswell, this hit hard. I had no idea Scholesy had a son with autism. It can be extremely difficult at times, especially at a young age. My boy is now 14 and has probably had a different development than young Scholesy. He is catching up to his own age and is a happy kid. Hopefully Scholes Jr. has a happy life ❤

I’m a foster cater to two SEN boys, one with global development delay and one with autism as their prime difficulties and literally had the biggest meltdown today after a hospital app. Bit, scratched, strangled screamed and punched me all the way from the hospital to the car and then trying to get him buckled in the car. So was so nice to watch this now and hear someone that admire first off but also just someone else’s views and speak so openly about it can be such a struggle but so rewarding and they’re so much more appreciative of the smaller things when you’re having good times. Sort of makes up for them kick offs 😂. All the best with your families guys you’re doing a great job ❤

I’ve watched every United player here on overlap and you notice is they all are humble, very self critical and kind of loners (Roy, Paul, even Becks to a certain extent). All they wanted was to be home with family and play for United. Have to give it to Sir Alex for identifying these amazing players and making them world class.

His openess and candid account of his mental struggles, despite a world class career, money and fame (what society indoctrinates you to believe will make you happy), is refreshing.

As a Liverpool fan he was the bain of my life he destroyed us several times. What an absolute gent he is. Brilliant player and top man. Well done Nev great interview also.
One of the best ever interviews on The Overlap imo. I mean Scholsey was always a man of very few words anyway so it's actually refreshing to see him be so open about his life especially when it came to talking about his family his son's autism that must've been difficult. I love the fact that Scholesy is very cutting in what he says no holds barred just says how it is in one sentence. There should be an Overlap where the whole of the class of 92 meet up & have a bloody good catch up treat us viewers to an absolute treat.

I’m 29, have high functioning autism, and also work with kids/teenagers.

I had absolutely no idea and he deserves credit for talking about it, as does Gary for bringing it up and asking questions in such a respectful and delicate manner. Remains one of my favourite KZread channels ❤️

Never heard Paul Scholes do many interviews let alone be so open an honest. Seems like he struggles a bit in life sometimes, but like many people, his personal pride stops him talking to anybody about it. A lot of men are like that. Great episode with a genuinely world class footballer. Zidane said he was the best player he ever played against. Enough said.

it's called life... nothing is always full of 'ups'. Scholes is just talking how most of us get on with it... no need to pay stupid money to see a therapist when you literally have tv/family/friends/movies/food/drinks/exerice/books, honestly people just need to shut the fuck up and bear with it as long as it's not controlling your life; Scholes curtails those emotions through life/experience and he's happy enough to showcase there are downs. At the end of the day... vanilla ice cream and decent movie? A bit of playstation and couple of beers? Reading a good Grisham or a fantasy novel with a cup of tea? Sending a What'sApp message to a mate of family member? This is normal... this new generation are massive snowflakes.
My heart goes out to Paul and his family for being strong and helping there son through the autism, love and prayers mate.
His humility is mind-blowing. As a player he was an absolute joy to watch.
Scholes is not only a world class player he's a decent, real and down to earth person aswell. Big respect from an Everton fan
It's really cheered me up seeing someone like scholesy who comes across generally closed emotionally, truly open up. I bet it made him feel better. Fair play to Gary. Well done Scholesy. On and off the pitch mate.
From a City fan and a born and bred Oldhamer, I really enjoyed that. Great to see my old haunt of Alexander Park looking so well. I think Paul has always felt comfortable among the people of Oldham, he's one of us. He could have so easily moved out to the rich environment of Cheshire but I think he craved normality (assuming the people of Oldham are normal) 🙃 and he has to be commended for that. I see him quite often and it's almost like bumping into someone you know and not one of the best midfielders the Premier League has ever seen and someone who is known the world over. I wish Paul and his family all the best.
Easily the best Overlap yet! Would happily watch 12 hours of Scholesy just talking away, seems like a proper down to earth no nonsense bloke. Watching Gary and him bounce off one another brings back good memories of the old United😭
Private, family man who put those in need before himself. Top guy and unbelievable player from an LFC fan
thank you Gary Neville for this interview, I am a 41 year old Romanian and I remember watching you guys on the TV and the great Manchester Utd squad of mid 90s - early 2000 play, but most importantly for me as I was only a child were those long range goals I was scoring with Paul Scholes in the FIFA games, used to make me so happy man, ... I have been watching a lot of The Overlap interviews and I can tell you none before got my attention and involvement then the 2 interviews with Paul Scholes, don't know why, but I really appreciated his openness and sincerity and honestly speaking there is a lot to learn from a guy that achieved everything and he stayed grounded and just a beautiful genuine normal human being ...
We've got a 16yr old autistic son. It was so nice to hear Scholesy opening up about it. There were so many similarities between his story and our own. Even in these modern times, in some circles it can still seem like a bit of a taboo subject to those that don't understand, or haven't experienced it. Thank you n well done Scholesy lad. Not just a fantastic footballer, but also a top guy. 👍
Absolutely love this interview. I commend Paul for opening up about his son’s autism. It’s understandable why he never really did interviews. Talking about has shone a completely different light on you. I love that you talking doesn’t change anything about the situation. However it does take the weight of your shoulders when you hear of other peoples experiences and makes you see you aren’t alone. Thank you for sharing that part of your life Paul. Englands best ever player.

I. am not sure there has been an English player with better technique, vision and game intelligence. .....an utter legend as a. player and even more so as a person. Its so refreshing to see a genuinely humble footballer. You can take what you do seriously without taking yourself too seriously. And. most importantly a proper dad - not one of these who call themselves a dad and do nice fun bits and pieces but. someone who actually puts their. child first - as. a. father. with a. son who has autism I could entirely relate to what he. was saying about it being entirely life changing. for a family. What are you going to do - handle your responsibility like this man - Scholes is a legend.
Most down to earth person let alone footballer. Seems to be a great dad too.

Brilliant this.. Paul Scholes will always be remembered by not only Utd Fans but True Football Fans as a Class above the Rest player.. well done to both a Great Watch and Honest account about his life in and out of Football 👏👏👏
I knew Scholes is a great player, but I didn't know that he is such a great dad too. Total respect for sacrificing yourself for your kids and being so understated.
We too have a 3 year old with autism and people like you scholesy bringing to light your experiences have helped the people we know try to understand what we are going through on a daily basis. There is light at the end of the tunnel after all. Please keep sharing. I'm a lifelong United fan. Loved watching you play football. Love the show Gary.
Great interview. Would love to see Ole on here open up about what really happened in that last season at United.
This was absolutely brilliant. Gary absolutely loves the fact he played for united, he throws it into most sentences. It’s amazing to see a bloke who’s lived his dream and it was everything he wanted it to be, most of us can only dream of that. Scholesy is also hilarious without meaning to be🤣

Credit to Paul for being so open about his son, for someone who doesn’t talk about his problems that’s a tough thing to do.
Fantastic interview and probably the most honest you will see from Scholes in an interview. I always say United have failed to recover from this man's retirement to this day. Irreplaceable in that position to be honest

It was reported Spanish and Italian clubs were in for him at one point I’m sure later in his career I remember wondering why he knocked them back but understandable now you hear a bit of his story .

Scholes needs to know what an absolute diamond he is! I truly hope you find that thing that gives you the fire you crave Scholsey. If anyone deserves it, it's you mate! Thanks for all the memories! Legend! 💯
With a 6 year old autistic daughter too, this hits home. Scholes was so emotional when speaking about his son and I felt the same. Can’t agree more on the point that autism has a way of affecting the entire family’s life.
Having a child that is also on the Autistic spectrum, it was very humbling to hear Paul talking about the challenges and adaptations that, as parents, you do for your child. Also, as a parent, I looked at the list of traits and started ticking them off myself, in addition, my family members characteristics were also there. There are others who have to deal with life threatening allergies who also have to adapt and the empathy I have is sincere.
One of Oldham's greatest product Paul Scholes. Such a humble and down to earth bloke who didn't forget his roots. Will definitely pay a visit to his new gym in Oldham

One of the best interviews I’ve seen on overlap. Liverpool fan here and great insight into Scholes’ life and football. Top guy and a lot of respect for his personal life.
This is a PROPER insight into Scholes' life, the guy who wasn't a superstar or celebrity. His struggles, and experiences are so relatable. Best episode, clear.
Brilliant interview, Paul is clearly a quiet shy individual but one of the most talented players ever to lace a pair of football boots. Legend
Followed United before Munich, was so sad when Duncan Edwards died, potentially England’s next centre half. I loved Scholes, such a good player. He scored some fantastic goals, often from well outside penalty box. His pairing with Nicky Butt, the enforcer in my mind, gave United such a strong mid field. A great guy all round!
During his career you never really seen much of Scholes off the pitch. I love watching these with Gary especially. The bit about his son was touching. What a player and man/father.. Gary too.
Wow I’ve never seen Scholes open up like this. He’s always been the quite one never in the papers always an amazing pro. I take my hat off to him and his familey for being so open about the struggles with their amazing son.
Could listen to these two all day
Overlap is the best football channel on KZread. Gary gets unreal guests and brings out the best in them. Paul Scholes is a genuine legend, the best player of his generation and so brutally humble that even hearing him open up at all makes this among the best videos on this channel. The things he actually says tip it over the edge. GREAT content! From a Villa fan.
As a Liverpool fan all I can say is that he was a top class player but is an even better man. Total Respect to Scholsey. Superb interview
This interview (and the other one with Paul) has been really excellent. I went to college with Andy Scholes (who was either Paul's brother or cousin, I'm not sure which). Paul would have been around 10 at the time and Andy often spoke about him as a future Manchester United and England player! In terms of the interview, Paul came across as brutally honest and it was nice to see this side of him. Best wishes for Aiden in the future, hope he finds a life beyond school that he finds comfortable and enjoyable.
Scholes is a great Man. As a united fan it makes me proud to have players like him wore red throughout his carreer. 10/10 lad in and out of pitch
Respect for Paul scholes being open and honest about his son it's not easy I have 3 autistic children and it's tough.#autismawareness.
