“Edwin’s experience, his calmness, the reliability - that was the main thing. Like any goalkeeper, he made the odd mistake but generally he was world class.”
“Scholesy was just brilliant - how he played the game, how he was off the pitch… he was loved by everyone. None of the lads have a bad word for him. He came in, did the business and then headed off again. He had genius ability that you can’t really teach.”
“Gary, as well as being an incredible player for 10 or 15 years at that level, his influence off the pitch was massive. When I came he was the captain and he’d drive the high standards and keep players on their toes. People say he moans a lot but there was a reason he moaned - he wanted everybody to hit perfection. As a captain and off the pitch, he was immense.”
