It's not Zidane actually who said that it was actually Edgar David's, read paul scholes book it says it in there.

Paul Scholes ---> Silent Hero... Respect from FC. Internazionale Milano's fan

[@PaulReinhard]

Best United player. He only cared about football. Avoided the limelight, avoided the fame. It was not important to him. Respect!

[@lancefletcher3577]

As a Liverpool supporter this is how good I think Scholes and Giggs were. Forget every other great player in their team in the last 20 years, Staam, Rooney, Ferdinand, Keane, Beckham, Ronaldo, Van Nilstelroy...... If any other side in the EPL had of had Scholes and Giggs in their team then that team would have dominated the league the way Man Utd did. Forget every foreign import that was sensational, Bergkamp, Zola, Henry, Viera, Drogba, Suarez......hands down as a LFC supporter given the choice of having any two EPL players at our club from any player in the last 20 years its Scholes and Giggs.Both players were world class, always gave their all for the club, team mates and the fans and were consummate professionals on ad off the field. They inspired others not just in their play but in their character and approach and for my mind embody everything any supporter of any club in the world wants to see in the players at their club. Glad we no longer have to face them on the pitch yet sad I'll never again see their class on that same pitch.......Thanks Scholes (and Giggs) for some of the best footballing moments i'll ever get to see!

[@lancefletcher3577]

Well NR, some people on the net talk shit and some tell it how it is. I was telling it how it is but it sounds to me like you're a shit talker but hey if you want to prove me wrong then I'm happy to meet up and establish the facts. Lets face it, you're either willing to meet in person and find out the truth or you've proved you're just a shit talking wanker...... lets face it, there's going to be no surprise when you snake out of meeting.....

[@NRGoon]

Lance Fletcher i think its time to get off that keyboard mate.

[@abir9810]

But we will never "walk alone" XD...........but honestly it is a pleasure to hear that from a true Liverpool fan.

[@candyquahogmarshmallow8257]

Lance Fletcher quality statement mate 👍

[@Carmine_Lupertazzi]

Lance Fletcher as a Utd man I’d like to say how refreshing it was to read your comment. I’d like to say the same about Stevie G. Regardless of how his career ended, there’ll never be a more gifted and dedicated Liverpudlian at LFC. A true stalwart and Titan of the game, and an overall nice guy. He will be missed on the pitch.

[@liam1994007]

You missed another one of Zidanes quotes. When asked, How does it feel to be the best midfielder in the world? "I dont know ask Paul Scholes"

[@brankotifa]

By far my favourite player ever. Reason I started to love United, and football in general. I come here from time to time, watch video again, share a tear for past times. One and only, Paul Scholes.

[@youdzoify]

you are right! He is simply the best of the bests. I watched this video so many times and every single time I always finish in tears

[@iReece4498]

Scholes is a legend and I was so sad when he retired (both times). But now I think back, I'm glad he retired in 2013. He didn't deserve to be part of the 2013 14 debacle.

[@FifaTheGameHD]

+iReece4498 Giggs should've retired in 2013 as well

[@MuhammadAshraffimreallysorry]

humble and brilliant footballer!!!!!!!

[@sij6169]

I really enjoyed this video. I remember Roy Keane saying about how Scholes was the only person he knew that did what he could do on the field and then go home to his family as if he’d just finished a shift at the local factory. His talent, class, dignity and humbleness is and always will make him the greatest footballer of all time. He didn’t need to show off with fancy tricks and flicks. He could do it all. No doubt the likes of Beckham, Zidane, both Ronaldo's, Totti etc are world class footballers but there was nothing that Scholes could not do. I cannot think of anyone that played the game like Scholes. A one club player who loved and respected the shirt who came out of retirement because he was always so aware of what Sir Alex did for him. The argument of Gerrard, Lampard or Scholes is just ridiculous. Scholes was and still is what the game is about. And no I’m not Man Utd fan It’s the blue half of Sheffield for me. Irreplaceable. To be spoke of so highly and watched and studied at the Barcelona school of football is like winning the Nobel Peace prize. He should have won the Ballon more than any other but he was never a glitz and glamour player. It seems you need to be trussed up like a chicken these days to win that ‘prize’. I can’t go ranting about uefa or the FA as I’ll get cramp in my fingers. Just ask the wife about that one. You’re missed Paul you really are. I’d love to have seen Scholes or Keane putting in some crunches on Pogblargh.

[@Nightman01]

Wow....I'm actually crying right now Miss you so much Scholes

[@MnMPryoBanana]

The difference between last year and this year? Paul Scholes. We all love him but not many fans understand exactly why he is so good. Why the likes of Socrates, Henry, Xavi, Zidane and Guardiola consider him at one time, one of the best in the world. The reason: His ability to pull the strings in the midfied. For example, try to remember how many times over the years Manchester United starts an attack when Scholes makes a long pass half way across the pitch into the space for our speedy wingers to run onto. Which they then cross or pass in for the strikers to score. The distribution and vision of Scholes, speed of Valencia/Young/Nani and Finishing of RVP/ Rooney/ Hernandez make us world class. It won us the title last season. The problem now is that nobody can replace Scholes and so our entire tactic breaks down. Thus when our winger receive the ball now, its too late and they are normally too deep. They are now required to do a much harder task of beating the FB to cross or pass it in for our stikers to score. You do not have to take my word for it. Just look at the stats for this season and the last and you will see the amount of accurate crosses and key pass by the wingers have decreased by alot. Not to mention Scholes staggering number of passes and long balls. Hernandez and Kagawa's lack of goals is partly attributed to this too. Contrary to popular opinion, Kagawa's biggest asset is not his playmaking ability but his goal scoring record. He scored 12 goals in the first season at Dortmund and 17goals in the second season. Though he did not do well in the first season at Man Utd, the second season might have been different if Scholes was still around. For both of them, their acceleration is a huge part of their game. They can react faster than those huge defenders in the box. They are heavily reliant on fast and accurate crosses/key passes into the box. Without it, they are lame. Alot of ppl blame Moyes or the current crop of players for the slump and perhaps they are partly to be blame as well. However, we should not forget that this season was the season that Manchester United lost its most important player that had been a key part of the squad for the past 19 years. Gary Neville once said Scholes was the reason for Man Utd late goals while SAF said Scholes was the best player he ever had. IMO, while C.Ronaldo has the ability to beat his maker consistently, Scholes had the ability to beat the entire defense with his consistent and accurate pin point passing and vision. Reason for this slump: Paul Scholes.

[@karthikrames]

A glowing but entirely truthful tribute! So many people underestimate this guy. Oh well. Miss him so very much!

[@TheQuigs89]

Rugby lad here, but this man has always been my hero. Best player and when you get respect from your peers like this, you know your a legend.

[@fredlee1773]

Some compare him to Xavi and Pirlo. However, I believe that Scholes is an untouchable legend, but also very much underrated. I personally put Scholes way above Xavi and Pirlo

[@ishmaelforester9825]

No, but I would love to see that midfield.

[@Xanti97]

Scholes is the player that would hold a team together on his own every week if needed

[@abdullahshaibu5274]

So overrated

[@iiMilly]

I nearly cried about this! He was a fucking amazing player for us, we never will see anyone like him again. Paul We love You forever

[@manishkomalram]

One of the most accomplished Football player of his era. His vision of the game and passing ability were simply out of this world n that my friend you are born with that gift. England should have put a team around him and allow him to control the game n do his thing. Too late for that now but truly an amazing player and was such a joy, honour and privilege to watch u play Scholsey. You r greatly missed in the game

[@abdullahshaibu5274]

He’s so overrated

[@katchafire33]

Im in tears,,,Thank you so much!!!Miss you !!

[@willblackburn6402]

Best central midfielder ever along with Zidane

[@zane5536]

My role model for sport. Never dives. Keeps strong on the ball. Will bleed for his team and continue to bleed until he dies from bleeding. He will take the hit and keep moving. He plays for the love of the sport, not for the fame or money. Will never hear about him out of football. He will always reject he is a great player. He just wants to play the game. For the talent he has, he is the most humble guy ever. Thank you Scholes for teaching me so much just by watching you're games. Much love.

[@1980extremeG]

As a Liverpool fan I'm not gonna harp on about the pointless Gerrard vs scholes 'who was better?' debate; If truth be told there was very little between them both. Two top players; let's leave it at that. However; I've always secretly been a big fan of scholes. Absolutely terrific midfielder; United's best player during the Ferguson era. He bizarrely won very few personal awards during his career which I think is disgraceful . Best of all he was a fantastic professional off the pitch; never got involved in any scandal and seems a very humble and modest guy. Legend. To say otherwise is just ridiculous.

[@connorsmith9734]

As a West Ham fan I know this man was a wizard who didn’t have a wand

[@manishkomalram]

People keep comparing Stevie G, Lampard, Xavi, Pirlo, Davids, Zizou and many more to Scholes. Each player has an individual talent and is a class of his own. So quit comparing those great players. To me Scholes is the most complete midfielder to have played the game. He was even acknowledged as being the most complete midfielder by other greats such as Zizou, Xavi, Pele, Maradona brazilian Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Henry etc. a joy to have watched him play. The game misses him

[@maxdec3929]

How desperately United misses him now, he simply cannot be replaced.

[@sbblmb]

"Tired of what? Winning titles and trophies every week?" Savage 👍 What a legend and gentleman and one of the few players who rise above partisan support and admiration. Much respect.

[@biatch1600]

the greatest english midfielder ever im a life long arsenal supporter amazing he was out of this world respect to u paul will never get another midfilder like scholsey ever again

[@hoobdudejs]

I cry every time. still sends shivers down my spine when I see him play

[@AdamTUVegan]

One of the greatest youtube videos I have ever seen, and one of the best players too, just a shame not everyone seemed to realize that.

Happy Birthday Paul Scholes!

[@moughonem4551]

I miss him so much!

[@ajisuryo6626]

I watched this and I bursts into tears. I really miss him on the field so much. I love everything about him, his techniques, his goals, his passes, and his attitudes. God knows how I miss him.

[@harrybrown6818]

he is the greatest player I cried too but to get me over it I watched his worst ever tackles. Paul Scholes we love you

[@ajisuryo6626]

LOL. well yeah, it seems he never learned how to tackle. but still, he's the best player I've ever seen.

[@jamescoleman2222]

The greatest player of united in the last 20years...simply scholes!

[@homosapien7043]

One of the two brains behind manutd dominance in 90s and 20s.He is the best midfielder in the last 30 years alongside zizou. A man who can control the tempo of the whole match....a pure midfield general.

[@jadetrickey4943]

Paul Scholes you are an absolute legend an a hero! ( man city fan )

[@princejaime7816]

Truly one of the best players of this era

[@kurtcoibainjr]

I like Xavi's comments. I also like how so many footballers speak highly of a man the deserves it. Great player.

[@mark54537]

Same here. Scholes, Giggs and Ferguson are all i've ever known for united. Scholes i'll miss the most....so much that i have to buy a Scholes shirt to keep and show the grandkids to say he was the best.

[@ggzii]

Well its time to go on a scholes video spree. Glad to say I have seen him live and have been able to enjoy his talent for many a year. The best. GGMU

[@kinlee7005]

As the old saying goes, "You don't know what you've got till it's gone." Every football fan knew Scholes was brilliant, and it's sad that we'll never see him play again. I feel truly lucky to have watched him play so many times. I've seen and watched all The Greats of the 90's and Naughties... but Mr Scholes is truly in a class of his own. Industrious, Inspiring, Clever and Selfless on the pitch. A grounded, quiet and shy man off the pitch. Legend.

[@TtwoRsCII]

From playing in one team his whole career right down to the things he has said-- tells a lot about his strong his mentality is. Leads many to think that more than a passing ability like scholes's, we need more mentally strong players in MU at the moment

[@ajamran4920]

undoubtedly.......best United central midfielder of his time

[@jackrhys98]

I'm 15 and I've grown up as a United fan and without a doubt, Paul Scholes is my favourite player of all time, he's the player I've inspired to be! Legend

[@sanchezBAL]

Manchester United have my respect. They gave football Scholes, Giggs, Alex Ferguson. Such a great club. A club of loyalty, work and respect. I'm Portuguese. I've always have been and will always be a Benfica and Arsenal fan.

That's the one I was waiting for. Great Video

[@micky147blue]

Whoever disliked this video is either a Liverpool supporter or doesn't know shit about football. No player like Paul Scholes. The best because of what he does with and without the ball.

[@uronmyhead]

[@NattieDee]

A fabulous way to mark the birthday of our Ginger Prince. I never wanted this video to end. Top marks to whoever put this video together, it's beautifully blended. I love how the entire stadium was giving Scholes a very loud standing ovation and at the background, the piano continued playing. Lord, I had to fight back tears. :)
