I wrote to scholes around 2008/2009 as a 5 year old, he was mine and my dads favourite player 2 weeks later I got a signed picture and a note on the back. Still have it to this day and I’ll keep it forever. Cheers scholesy.

What a player Scholes was, so down to earth too. Massive respect for what he achieved in the game - Liverpool fan.

[alexsmith]

As a Liverpool fan, It pains me to really like these two. They are two genuine working class lads who worked their balls off and are now reaping the rewards without too much care for what people think.

[josephparker]

Insane how humble he is about his ability, world class player.

'Meant be quick fire and your just standing there looking at me' 🤣🤣

Both Scholes and RVN will always be my favourite 2 players to grace the pitch without doubt, what an absolute gem of a player they both were ❤️

[joewt]

His contribution to the team I love, his dry wit, his slightly grumpy attitude. his humble nature, I love it all. Legend. Absolute legend!

[brucer]

One of the greatest midfielders ever. “How would you like to be remembered? - Don’t care” can’t not love him 🤣🤣

[Blarglord]

The banter is so good between these guys. They’re just 2 childhood friends having a chat for a tv segment. 2 great football minds and 2 great players. Wonderful video

"I look for intelligence in a football player, brains"

Scholes was exactly that. Brilliant player

[FamousDexxx]

If you listen to Scholes speak about himself as a footballer you would assume he was a really poor player, but if you listen to those who played with/against him you realize how magnificent he truly was.

I'm not a United and its absolutely no surprise to me, but when you hear the way Xavi, Iniesta, Zidane and many more quality players rate Scholes sort of gives you some idea just how good he was. Incredible talent.

[danielmunroe]

Scholesy saying his worldie against barca in the champions league semis was a miskick has blown my mind. What a legend 🐐🐐🐐

[shamneo]

Scholes.. a man's man, he is. down to earth, no ego, intelligent. legend

[maxi]

Complete legend. No wonder United were so successful with him and Keane setting the standards in the dressing room not many like them anymore

[millerer]

I'm a West Ham fan. The first time I saw him play at Old Trafford, absolutely everything went through him. His passing range was ridiculous, he absolutely split us apart.

Dry humour of Scholes is my new favourite thing! Top bloke, humble and down to earth ~ LFC fan

[hughfranklin]

Scholesy is a legend, one of the best midfielders to ever play the game, and what a sense of humour.

[Chriseff]

Gotta love Scholesey and his sheer, down to earth, honesty when answering questions. 😂

[tacticaldelusion]

One of the world's greatest midfielders, always kept himself humble and stayed out of the media as much as he could. A perfect role model, a natural talent and a genuine bloke - greatly missed by fans of the game. Thanks for the memories Scholesy, from a Leicester supporter.

What a player, humble and is uncomfortable with complements . Viera and Zidane fans of this man .
Great player
