Xavi Hernandez: Paul Scholes is a role model. For me – and I really mean this – he's the best central midfielder I've seen in the last 15, 20 years. I've spoken to Xabi Alonso about him. He's spectacular, he has it all: the last pass, goals, he's strong, he doesn't lose the ball, vision. If he'd been Spanish he might have been rated more highly. Players love him. Zinedine Zidane: My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder. Scholes is undoubtedly the greatest midfielder of his generation. Laurent Blanc: I tell anyone who asks me – Scholes is the best English player. Edgar Davids: Everyone of us should emulate him. We can all learn from Paul Scholes.
More appealing on the eye we are talking about football here mate not **** stabbing. Get away you poof.
Remember when the Ginger mongo changed his avatar to The Ginger Assassin and didn’t know it was Paul Scholes @Spurlock @PISKIE @Skylarker
Edgar Davids: "I’m not the best, Paul Scholes is." Patrick Vieira: "The player in the Premiership I admire most? Easy - Scholes." Thierry Henry: "I can’t understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it’s because he doesn’t seek the limelight like some of the other ‘stars’." Marcello Lippi: "Paul Scholes would have been one of my first choices for putting together a great team." Cesc Fabregas: "He is the one whose level I aspire to. He is the best player in the Premier League." Lionel Messi: "At La Masia his name was mentioned a lot. He’s a teacher." Dimitar Berbatov: "Nobody else can play the way Paul Scholes does." Rio Ferdinand: "Best player? For me, it’s Paul Scholes. He’ll do ridiculous things in training like say, “You see that tree over there?” – it’ll be 40 yards away – “I’m going to hit it”. And he’ll do it. Everyone at the club considers him the best." Kevin Kant: "Frank's a diamond, bleeds blue blood, best player what I seen."
Pep Guardiola: "Out of everyone at Manchester United, I would pick out Scholes, he is the best midfielder of his generation. I would had loved to play alongside him."
Reporter to Zidane: "How does it feel to be the best midfielder in the world?" Zidane: “Well ask Paul Scholes.”
Wayne Rooney: “The best I’ve played with, no question. His touch, passing, vision, composure is outstanding. I try to copy him.” Denis Bergkamp: “He’s the master.” Eidur Gudjohnsen: “Scholes is one of the most complete footballers I’ve ever seen. His one-touch play is phenomenal. Whenever I have played against him, I never felt I could get close to him.” Thierry Henry: “Without any doubt the best player in the Premiership has to be Scholes. He knows how to do everything, and he is one who directs the way his team plays. On top of that, he has indestructible mental strength and he is a genuine competitor.” Ronaldo: “He’s the phenomenon.” Cristiano Ronaldo: “Scholes is the best I’ve played with and he helped me a lot when I was young. He’s amazing.” Barry Bannan: “The one that stands out the most was Paul Scholes. I look up to him and was lucky enough a couple of games ago to play against United for Villa and I got his top. That’s a big thing for me because in my eyes he’s probably the best player in the world. Even now, even though he’s old, he’s still one of the best in the league.” Nani: “He’s the best midfielder I’ve ever seen. He can pass, score goals with his left, right, his head. He can do anything. And he can beat a player too, plus he loves to nutmeg you! He’s unbelievable.” Diego Maradonna: “His technique is unique.” Glenn Hoddle: “There isn’t a player of his mould anywhere in the world.” Ray Wilkins: “I just love Paul Scholes. He’s been the best footballer in our division for the last ten years. He’s a a wonderful player.” Kevin Keegan: “What United have got that Chelsea haven’t is Paul Scholes. I think he is different to anything else in English football.”
