Alright, I am definitely a WUM and an ABU (learned them both here) but I do want to put that all aside and pay tribute to a truly excellent player.
If I have to list my all time greatest players, I have to admit that George Best is amongst them. If I have to admit my favourite players of the last decade, Scholes has to be amongst them! He's absolute class. He's probably the best midfielder in Britain, and possibly the world! I keep hearing about Keane, Gerrard and Vieira, but none of those 3 actually score enough goals, even though they're all bloody good players.
Scholes is the complete midfielder. He knows instinctively where to be, when to be there, and what to do with the ball when he gets it. The greatest compliment I can give him, is that I'd have him in the Liverpool team tomorrow!!
He's hard, he's fair, he's quiet, he's a model professiona who'll never (thankfully) be in the media spotlight.
For me, he's a truly fantastic player, and I take my hat off to him.
