    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.

    Two of the best that the UK has produced. Scoles, is one of the most technically gifted players ever full stop. Very intelligent too. It is peculiar to hear Paul talk about himself in this way. Very humble. Supremely talented. Neville, 100% determination and heart and work, but little in the way of natural talent, but at his peak he was the best right back in the country by miles and miles and miles and who would you pick in world football ahead of him. Excellent players, and I am an Arsenal fan. Grrrrr, despised and admired these guys in equal measure when they were players.

    Kevin de Bruyne is basically Scholes' spiritual successor. They're not exactly mirror images of each other in terms of what they provide, but they're share many traits. They are both two of the best midfielders of their eras, they're both a little grumpy, interspersedly humorous and have that timid amicability that's largely uncharacteristic for footballers.

    Even as a liverpool supporting I have to say Scholes was one of my favourite footballers of all time, absolutely class.

    @@tsb3208 Gerrard had none of the genius Scholes had, Scholes could change games with a single pass, while Gerrard was a great leader who was very good at most things. Look at the highlights of Gerrard long passes the champions league posted a few weeks ago, the passes are all misplaced, too much power while Scholes never missed

    I love how they analyse the game. How they discuss different players and techniques, clearly knowledgeable. I also love how humble Scholes is about his capabilities, when really he was a very important player in the team.

    This is why he is so well respected. Aside from the fact he was a fantastic player. One of all time favourite Man United players.
