Scholes was always the footballer who GIQ.

To have been so instrumental in one of the top teams for so long and yet not get too big for his boots seems like quite an achievement now any clogger who scores a goal in the Premiership thinks they are the best thing ever.

Don't know how true this is as i haven't seen it for myself. My mate text me and said he was watching tele and they said Iniesta went up to Scholes after the game and asked for his top and he told Scholes that the barca team thought he was the best midfielder of the last decade!? Massive compliment if that is true.

Scholes was always hugely rated on the continent - Zinedine Zidane said he was the best player he ever played against.

6 Barca players asked to swap shirts with him I think.
Xavi and Iniesta both rate him hugely. They said if he was Spanish he would have received a lot more praise.

Was a great player and a top pro. Loved his tackling too.

One of the greats. Flawed as all greats are, but his ability to pick out and deliver passes over distance set him apart.

As did his goals in his heyday.

Watched Scholes at Elland road in 91 or 92 when he was with the Man Utd youth team in the cup final against us. He was well up for it, gestures at the crowd, putting himself around the pitch some reet tackles if i remember rightly. He was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch which was saying something as both teams produced some excellent players.
