When you have Zidane, Inesta and Xavi all endorsing Scholes and saying how extraordinary he is, whatever anyone says about him that’s negative is irrelevant. He was simply magnificent .

[chillwinston]

In a word yes...the best. No nonsense, no media/interviews. Amazing footballer mufctid

[alan.crowther]

Scholes could not only excel at the short passing game. His long passing range and his switch of play, which we see less of now, was incredible. Great finisher, brilliant long-range shooting, and he scored a fair few headers for a smaller guy. Total legend.

[TheLegacyord]

Scholes was so good, still the best passer I've ever seen and a rocket of a shot on him.

[AdamRochesterPlus]

Paul scholes is the best English midfielder ever, controlled games from start to finish awesome technique great player

[harizbadrulhisham]

Won premier leagues in 3 different decades... In the 90s, 2000s and 2010s. Meaning he had to change and adapt his game in 3 different eras. And in all 3 he dominated his role

[trickleteeth]

Micah quiet for 2 and a half minutes. Miracle lol

[spookystorytime]

It is generally criminal how underrated scholes is seen by some today

Gerrard unbelievable player
Lampard a goal machine

But scholes a magician in the midfield

[kJ-hj]

First half of career (near enough) he was a great attacking midfielder, scored plenty of goals and many important goals too! Then became a deep lying playmaker type and was brilliant at that too!

[jasonjones]

Giggs for me ALL DAY LONG - I understand that's not popular due to what we've seen after football, but Giggs was unreal. When he got clapped off by the Spanish at the end told you everything.

[vacateistheword]

Can never forget van Persie gushing about Scholes and the difference he made when he came in. Quality recognises quality.

[Nijthabarber]

Deep down pure blooded maestro of the football field ❤

[polbol]

1:11 - what a mannered gentleman! isnt he?

[bobbyj]

the reason he has strong oppinions now he's not playing the game is cause he was the best! watching others and seeing mistakes must be hard to keep his mouth numb.. united had the best midfield in the world at one point, was sensational to watch

[danielwoodgate]

Scholes. The greatest mancunian to play for United. One of the greatest midfielders to play for United and England

[enlightenedmind]

Scholes and Giggs easily #1. Can't believe how underrated abd underappreciated players ever.

[Non-Stick_Pan]

Paul Scholes was evidently the best player in the world, it's clear from watching him play. He just wasn't recognised enough, he led a sensible and modest life without needing to be on the back (or front) of newspapers to satisfy his ego.

[andrewsadikin]

Scholes better than Gerrard, Lampard & de bruyne

[andymoore]

Without doubt a great player but he had a great team around him, so hard to judge

[ste]

People will say Lampard and Gerrard are better, because of stats, but neither of them could dictate a game like Scholesy. Brilliant footballer
