“I really rate Paul Scholes, because he hasn't got the high profile of many of the Manchester United players, he doesn't get too much attention, but he is one very good player. He is an intelligent player, he works hard and he scores some great goals. He is not flamboyant and is a quiet lad off the pitch but he is a tremendous asset to Manchester United and to England. He has already got my vote as player of the year.” YearsHardGoalUnitedAttentionToo MuchPlayerHard WorkQuietVoteEnglandIntelligentRateVery GoodScoreAssetsProfileManchesterLadManchester UnitedScholesFlamboyantHigh ProfilePaul Scholes Author:Tony Adams

“Suddenly all is quiet. The other nine players? They're all moving in slow motion! I'm at normal speed! I know where everyone's going even before they know themselves. The basket is huge, maybe six feet across! How can I miss? It's like throwing a rock into a pond.” KnowsMovingPlayerFeetRocksMissingHugeQuietNormalSixSpeedNineThrowingBasketsPondsMoving InSlow Motion Author:Michael Jordan
“Paul Scholes was always unbelievably talented. Quiet. And dirty. When he got his tackle right, it was a great tackle. But when he got it wrong, he could kill someone. He was so talented and a player I feel honoured to have played with.” FeelsPlayerQuietDirtyScholesPaul Scholes Author:David Beckham
