Manchester United star Paul Scholes is regarded as one of the best midfielders of his generation.

The 32-year-old burst onto the scene in the mid-Nineties, making his name as a world class attacking midfielder.

Famed for his sublime technique, Scholes was a member of Alex Ferguson’s legendary treble winning team of 1998/1999.

He was a star for England as well, representing the Three Lions 66 times before retiring from international football in 2004 to concentrate on club football.

This decision led fans from a host of teams to beg him to return to the England setup after continuing to star for Manchester United in the league – helping them to the 2006/2007 Premiership title.
