Watch: Paul Scholes nutmegs John Terry and the crowd loves it

Class is permanent

Robert Redmond

“You come at the king, you best not miss.”

Paul Scholes is famous for his skills with a football and his wonderful technique. You don’t earn the nickname “Sat-Nav” without possessing the ability to manipulate the ball with ease.

And John Terry, as a former international teammate, and opponent of Scholes, should have known better than rush into a challenge with the Manchester United legend.

The pair were involved in a warm game prior to today’s “Match for Children”, organised by David Beckham in aid of children’s charity Unicef.

The game got a bit messy until Scholes stepped onto the ball and casually nutmegged the Chelsea captain.

The Old Trafford crowd certainly enjoyed it and the former midfielder proved class really is permanent.

Scholes went onto score in the game, which the Great Britain and Ireland XI won 3-1 against a Rest of the World XI.

The game’s organiser was also subbed off for his 16 year old son.
