When the player asks the commentator for an autograph

Curious moment in the duel between Manchester United and PAOK, in the Europa League

Everyone has a past, and Paul Scholes’s is notable for his years as a star player for Manchester United and the England national team. During that time, he was reportedly asked to sign dozens of autographs a day, but now that he has been retired for a decade, it is likely that the former midfielder will have fewer papers and photographs to sign.

This Thursday, however, brought a very special admirer’s eyes to the fore. Magomed Ozdoev may now be a PAOK player , but he also has a past. He was once an autograph hunter , and at the end of the Europa League game against Manchester United , he plucked up the courage to ask Paul Scholes, who is now a TV commentator, for a signature.
