Football's Greatest Eras with Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt

Leaders | "Forget the manager, I’m getting it off Roy! "

Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes are back and this week they’re discussing captains: Keane, Robson, Bruce, Cantona, Adams and Shearer are some of the names that come up in the chat: Who was the best skipper they played under? What did they make of David Beckham being named England captain? And who used to say “Bring your jeans” before a team-bonding session?
 
Along the way, they discuss what makes a great leader, how some players crumbled under rollickings from the skipper and how the presence of certain players would beat the opposition in the tunnel at Old Trafford.
