Always thought Hughes would want him . He actually played his best football under him.

Still amazed when they asked Craig Bellemy who is the best player you have ever played with , having been at Liverpool , Newcastle and the stars of Man city , he said   stephen  Ireland ;0

Pele said Paul Scholes was the best in the world.

He might have been for 5 minutes

Just because you're a player yourself doesn't mean you have great judgement on football.  Note all the good players who make shit managers and Dalgleish paying £35m for Andy Carroll.

Nicky Butt rather than Paul Scholes I believe. Which makes it all the worse.

Think you're right I have a feeling it may have been during the 2002 world cup.

Xavi also said Scholes was one of the best European midfielders ever. It's an absolute scandal that the inferior Gerrard and Lampard were chosen ahead of him.

Were they? Scholes was capped 66 times in 8 seasons before retiring from international football. That must be a pretty decent percentage of England games in that time.

Exactly. Or, frankly, wasted in the brick-headed 4-4-2 England played for years.

Yes an absolute scandal all told. A far superior player to both Fwank and StevieMe. And much less self absorbed.
