Scholesy

If all the Manchester United players queue up, from the beginning to the Matt Busby era to Fergie's generations of players, from greats such Bobby Charlton to George Best, Bobby Robson to Steve Bruce to Mark Hughes, Cantona to Cristiano Ronaldo, there will always be one player who stands out the most.

If i had to pick 3 United players, who i want to see playing for Liverpool, they would be Roy Keane, Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes. Giggs comes a close fourth. Of course, this is due to the fact that i've grown up watching these players instead of the other great United legends.

But there's only one Paul Scholes.

You can talk about Gerrard or Lampard and their abilities, but England lost a potent goal threat when he decided to retire from the international scene.

He scores crackers from 25, 40 yards out of goal and this one against Aston Villa is top notch. He delivered a volley, perfect timing, a sweet connection with his boots, with the precision of a neurosurgeon.

And the best fact of him is that he shuns from any publicity. In the modern era when football is more of an industry, he prefers to be a laid back, normal guy. This is asthmatic guy is an example for any up coming footballer. And he's about to retire next year.

As Roy Keane states in his autobiography : " 'No celebrity bullcrap, no self-promotion - an amazingly gifted player who remained an unaffected human being."

There's only one Paul Scholes.
