“Paul Scholes was the jewel in the crown, the first name on the teamsheet and unquestionably one of the finest England players of the age. He flourished at once in the international arena, which didn't surprise me given his fabulous all-round attributes. He had almost everything - talent, intelligence, courage. His only blemish, which he never really shook off, was his tackling. There was always the chance of that red mist coming down. Overall, though, Paul was a wonderful player and he's a lovely lad, a credit to his club and to himself.”

“Scholes was England's best football player. It was impossible to take the ball from him, and he never mishit a pass.”

If you gave me Paul Scholes and ten others, I would be happy. I would tell them to give him the ball and then we would have a good team.”
