My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder.
Paul Scholes would have been one of my first choices for putting together a great team.
In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen - the most complete - is SCHOLES
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.
No celebrity bullshit,no self promotion,an amazingly gifted player who remained an unaffected human being
In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen — the most complete — is Scholes. I have spoken with Xabi Alonso about this many times. Scholes is a spectacular player who has everything. He can play the final pass, he can score, he is strong, he never gets knocked off the ball and he doesn’t give possession away. If he had been Spanish then maybe he would have been valued more.
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'.
I wouldn’t swap Paul Scholes for anybody. He is quite simply the most complete footballer I have ever played with. He is the best.
I'm star-struck when I see Paul Scholes because you never see him. On the pitch you can't catch him. Off the pitch he disappears.
Paul Scholes would have been one of my first choices for putting together a great team - that goes to show how highly I have always rated him. An all-round midfielder who possesses quality and character in abundance.
If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes.
I was in the right place at the right time.
I happened to be in the right place at the right time.
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.
Steven Gerrard is the best player I've ever played with.
I'm not the best, Paul Scholes is.
If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes. His passing and shooting is of the highest level and he’s the most consistent and naturally gifted player we’ve had for a long, long time.
One of the best players I've ever seen in my life! Spectacular on training!! Playing with him was a joy!
Paul Scholes is just fantastic. When you play alongside him, you realise what a special talent he is.
Paul Scholes has been the best England midfield player for 30-odd years. You'd probably have to go back to Bobby Charlton to find someone who could do as much as Scholes. When the ball arrives at his feet he could tell you where every player on that pitch is at that moment. His awareness is superb.
