Old Trafford’s erstwhile ginger wizard was the subject of Monday’s spleen-venting session with Joe Duffy. Scholes had been due to play in a charity match last Saturday in Bray in aid of Wicklow Hospice, and his expected presence drew a crowd of 3,000 to the Carlisle Grounds, 60 more paying top dollar for a meet-and-greet afterwards.
Alas, Scholes missed his flight from Manchester, leaving the paying punters disappointed and with no option but to talk to Joe.
