Wow that Fabio Capello story blew my mind. Too right, he wanted you to miss the birth of your child for a friendly, and then tricked you into missing precious time with your newborn with the possibility of playing for England only to make you sit on the bench. I'd be done with him aswell after that.

Rebellion XCI Scholes was a world class player like Gerrard and Lampard, Yet scholes had one of the best prem teams in near enough every season he played, put Gerrard and Lampard in United and they would’ve won the same amount. Stats speak for themselves on all the players, yet you can just compare what he won, that’s not an argument of him being a better individual player

No doubt simply the best midfielder of his generation for me. Not spoken enough of back then but he also kept himself and family away from the spotlight outside of footy. Pure legend

Rip Pavel Srnicek. God bless mate. He was a great keeper to watch, a fun guy to listen to and the Toon kits (both keeper and outfield players) were amazing back then. He was definitely one of my faves to watch.

It seems that all the football purists and people in the game rate Scholes the highest. Gerrard and Lampard are club legends but are more “English”. I think Scholes draws praise from Pirlo et al. because he’s the closest we had then to a more agile, technically brilliant and “elegant” midfielder more akin to Xavi/Iniesta/Pirlo. Gerrard and Lampard seem more alike as a pair so a direct comparison makes more sense

@Akan123

Exactly, honestly don't understand why people don't get this and even with that taking away the penalties of Gerrard and Lampard, Scholes' numbers are up there also considering he played deepeer for a longer time than the other 2 did but scored a lot more than the Xavi's & Pirlo's, guess that was the English in him

You know Scholes is a legend when the top Barcelona players drew straws to see who would get his shirt after the game.

What a great guy. Ben you're my new favourite non-Liverpool player!

Dr Martins league I believe is 12 steps below the Premiership, my town plays there plus I was offered a contract nd know half the players from school. I wouldn't say it's a high level so to hear Ben was just chilling there is mental. Glad he was found I guess a school friend Dan Lewis could've made it he was a fantastic player in school tbh in any sport tbh hardest hitter in rugby. I believe he plays lb

Really down to earth, Ben Foster.

English fans will never appreciate scholes as foreign fan.. best cm to grace the English land

I feel his comment about not enjoying football at United shows he wasn’t cut out to be the best and fight for the right to be

Paul Scholes,the Einstein of football is handsdown one of the GOAT.

Hey person scrolling through the comments, you're awesome, have a great day/night

Foster proving that opinions can be wrong.

Top bloke

Zinedine Zidane; "You rarely come across the complete footballer but Scholes is as close to it as you can get" Also from Zinedine Zidane; Reporter asks, "What does it feel like to be the best player in the world" Zidane's response "I don't know, ask Paul Scholes" As a neutral I can say that Paul Scholes is the best midfielder the PL has had. 100% model professional as well. The only player who comes close to Scholes as a complete footballer in the Premier League is Kevin De Bruyne

Genius

Good old Ben. Every club he's been to seem to get relegated and he's off quicker than Usain Bolt from the starting block.

Top lad!

Chelsea should sign him. He’s a class GK

Scholes - footballs Albert Einstein

@Skysports. I think Ben Foster is the only full international who has never played u21s international football. Am i right??

Xavi said that Scholes is the best player he’s ever seen. Even better than Messi. Is he Mad?

Speaks about every club he has been to except West Brom, the place he has spent most of his career.

For all the people that say he was a good player, can you remember anything he did in an England shirt. The games harder when you dont have Howard Webb in your pocket.
