Paul Scholes - In Quotes

[manu1love]

ive been going to old trafford for 20 odd years and ive never come across a more complete midfielder as scholes thares only 1 thing i can say pure genius

[musicalfootyaddict]

Yes Xavi,Inestia are wonderful passers of the ball who have won everything to be won domestically and on the international stage.Growing-up in the Barca academy they were indoctrinated and rigourously coached into possession football.Of course they had the exceptional talent to go with it.For an english player,Scholes is a exceptional aberration for he emulates thier ability to distribute the ball intelligently and keep possession when required.Will they be playing to Scholes standard at 37?

[WonLongNob]

Dear all Barca fan boys,

You can be idiots and ignore all the quotes but just look at what Xavi, Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi said about him.

My quote about Paul Scholes 'Perfect'

[WonLongNob]

We should bow down to the King.

[Skouloundis]

Paul Scholes is back

[Bl21168345]

hes backk



[iHashani]

He's back!

[JustMVP]

one of the best video i've ever seen

[sotos186]

Scholes is a legent,i miss you :/

[hennessey861]

I have been spoiled as a united fan with the players we have had, but you give me the choice of having ronaldo or scholes back and I would say scholes every time.

[khattu101]

which piano piece/song is this???

[hilly6920]

@khattu101 Nuvole Bianche ludovico einaudi

[davecardenas]

I love the quotes but the music doesn't fit at all. It creates a mood as though he had died rather than just retired. The quotes make you realise just how good a player and a humble human being he was.

[dvwut]

I see a massive irony in Pele's comment, in terms of the whole thing. That guy is really annoying me recently, his recent outbursts that Neymar is better than Messi, the way he always has to squeeze in something about how many goals hes scored or how good he is, even when quoting Paul Scholes, maybe he should take a leaf out of Paul Scholes' book and know when to stop talking, and just let things be the way they are, everyone rates him so why keep talking? He's ruining himself. Rant over, sorry.

[TheChampTC]

I really curious.....

Is it possible that these quotes are faked?

[kmodi86]

@TheChampTC some of them may be slightly altered, but even if you look at the referenced ones, there are enough to fill 10 minutes worth of video.

[rydeoride]

jus got his name on my new united shirt to mark his retirement and managed to get it signed by him prior to otelul galati game unbelievable.. he give me a crazy look when i told him he was the best, most humble man ever! no doubt he was massively underated 

[rhysaldo]

the quote that shook me most was Pele's comment

'if he was playing with me, I would have scored so many more'.. baring in mind that Pele scored 1283 goals in 1367 games, it's hard to believe that a player like him would say such a thing. Goes to show how good Paul Scholes really was.

[ihussain81]

The best

[heaney1975]

Paul Scholes and Zindane are the two greatest midfielders i have seen in recent years. These two could play 1 and 2 touch football better than anyone else, they knew how to create space for themselves and there team mates around them.Both could dictate the flow and tempo of a match from the middle of the pitch like no one else i have ever seen.

[frddricdrott]

Ginger Prince!! allways love you Scholes

[natebooce]

RAY WILKINS, "MY WORD"

ANDY GRAY, "TAKE A BOW PAULS SCHOLES MY SON"

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

this 'ZizouMerci' character on YouTube is a clown! nobody pay any attention!

He's a full on Zidane fan.. fair enough, he wouldnt be the first! but he well and truly knows Scholes is just as good, if not even better than Zidane because hes that threatened by Scholes and people believing Scholes to be the best theyve seen play... hes on every Scholes video on YouTube saying the same shit and trying to change peoples minds about this Scholes/Zidane thing! "Scholes is the best of his generation"

[RazzaBeeDaSilva]

The greatest footballer i have ever seen!

[stevebruce13]

Offer me four Gerrards and Lampards or a 36 year old Paul Scholes and the ginger genius wins everytime. My favourite footballer ever and absolutely privleged I got to grow up watching him play, you put him in our team tomorrow and he'd still be our best player, mind you if you put him in any team tomorrow he'd probably be their best player.

[dave790]

@stevebruce13 Yeah I concur. Even in the late stages of his career he stood out.

[Pr1Reaperzz]

@stevebruce13 im sorry im a utd fan gerrard is only player that comes close to scholes but lampards shit

[19Wylds95]

@Pr1Reaperzz yeah gerrard and scholes would be an amazing partnership wouldnt it? Forget lampard, hes a greedy bastard

[Stratboy999]

Very nice tribute. Paul Scholes is my favourite player too.

[aalexjohnson]

What an absolute legend, Unbelievable to watch live just his movement off the ball was unlike anyone elses. Cannot believe this video has 6 dislikes. Must have been scholes himself. very humble man never liked being praised or in the spotlight. Favourite ever player by a mile. legend.

[MrOwen147]

a role model just as much off the pitch as on the pitch

[tractorlolhaha]

im sorry paul scholes you may finnish in a bit but xavi is the best of all time

[fridjon83]

@tractorlolhaha he's not, Xavi was what? 27-29 years old when he really become great, before that 2 goals per season and one season he didnt even score one goal......Xavi 649 games - 64 goals in crap la liga....and paul Scholes 676 games - 150 goals....Scholes was great all the time....Xavi only been an amazing player the last few seasons.......I know goals dont count for everything, but Scholes was great from his first game and Xavi wasnt..........the last years Xavi has been better

[tomlondon154]

@tractorlolhaha you're mad. scholes is and always will be the best central midfielder of all time.

[tractorlolhaha]

@tomlondon154 omfg omfg omfg im kidding u idiot im on aboutthe kanye west thing

[Pr1Reaperzz]

@tractorlolhaha xavi is self said he was the best lets leave it as that

[dreadedwheat26]

hes not dead for fuck sake.

[TheBenno32]

brilliant video and great choice of music, a true professional and a wonderful midfield player. the best of my generation

[guncel17]

The football world will never see a player like Paul Scholes again. There will never be a new Scholes.

[SuperShafster]

A very touching video. Scholesy shall be greatly missed by United and it's faithful. A real legend has left his game. Goodbye Paul :(

[ZizouMerci]

all the talk about scholes the best midfielder better than Zidane and Xavi surprise me.. their ability maybe more or less..Scholes is all round midfielder, Xavi game is based on passing, and Zidane has superior ball control.. but the truth that we witnessed is Zidane and Xavi won World Cup and EURO..

[xmysteriousoulx]

The god of midfield...

[jamo711]

'in my opinion, england just lost there best player' Eric Cantona after Scholes international retierment after euro 2004,

[hedgehogwedgehog]

I was born in 1996, i went to Bradford away in 2000, and when Scholsey scored, I said to my Dad, 'I will cry when he retires'

And EVERY time he has played, he has NEVER put in a bad performance

Pele the all time best? My arse

Paul Scholes

Loyal

Amazing

Consistent

All time Great

Legend

<3

[iMANTlS]

@hedgehogwedgehog we should add this to the Quotes !!

[GENERALGEAR15]

inspirational video. one of the most underrated players ever. maradonna, pele, best, zidane, xavi, fabregas, figo, ronaldo, some of the best current and past players in the world saying such kind things about him makes you realise just how highly regarded he was. mourinho, wenger, and other top managers saying theyd have loved to have him. last season fergie said the only guaranteed starter for CL was scholes. wow

[Dkabitto21]

When people say that frank lampard is as good as him that tells me that they don't know about football

[RodelIturalde]

They say many things like this to great players, he was, no doubt, one hell of a midfielder. But the best ever, doubt it.

Michael Laudrup got same kind of qoutes from some of the ones who is qouted here, about him being "The best player in the world, I can't believe he hasn't won the title as best player." - Guardiola.

[johnboy14]

@RodelIturalde

yep i would agree with laudrup, in my opinion i've seen alot of midfield greats in my life including zidane, laudrup, xavi, mattheus, all different in there own way but i've never seen anyone as complete as scholes, he played as a number 10, attacking midfield and central midfield throughout his career, has scored over 100 goals for united and has the best range of passing i've seen watching football, short and long it doesn't matter all you have to do is run into space to get it

[vap0riza]

gone but not forgotten..

[ZizouMerci]

im not saying all these quotes not true.. but like i said english media overhype it as scholes is english, their player.. zidane could have more quotes about him from other players if media/press write about it..

[ZizouMerci]

i have no problem saying scholes is top class midfielder.. we all know he is very good midfielder.. but all these quotes are kind of media creation fro media.. i mean from english media.. we know english press/media like to overhype.. when they write"Zidane :scholes the best i ever played against" i dont see any video of Zidane saying it. when they say"5 barcelona players ask for Scholes shirt" i dont see any picture or video about it" anyone can argue with me about this?

[okano186]

@ZizouMerci Kind of ironic since you also dont have proof to prove that he didnt say those things -.-

[ZizouMerci]

show me video Zidane saying Scholes the best midfielder of generation.. i think this all hype from english media.. i have seen video of english journalist asked Zidane who the best ever played against. Zidane said Ronaldo Brazil..

[okano186]

@ZizouMerci I think your misquoted - he said Scholes was one of the rare most complete footballers he ever met and that he regrets not playing alongside him. He never said he was the BEST midfielder of the generation but I did remember him saying that along only with Ronaldo - Scholes is one of the best players he had ever watched and he Zidane said all of this BEFORE Scholes retired. Its also worth noting that Scholes is not very popular in England but all the top players admire him

[ZizouMerci]

scholes is great,totti is great,xavi is great..but we all know Zidane is true great and boss..

[producethegoods21]

@okano186 Yes, but Paul Scholes said "I'm not the best of my generation Emile Heskey is." Michael Owen quoted "I don't think theres anyone else who is capable of the impossible - the passing, the balance & vision, I'm not the best striker, Heskey is." Paul Scholes i think is humble for saying that. Everyone knows Heskey can score past Germany.

[okano186]

@producethegoods21 Yeah Heskey's pretty beast ;)

[Pr1Reaperzz]

@ZizouMerci there real dick

[FaroukdabashPresents]

LEGEND <3

[DownfallxProduction]

Thank you Paul Scholes.. Really, thank you <3

[MusicaDelight]

Thank you for a brilliant compilation of quotes. Thank you Paul Scholes for opening my eyes to what football really is about.

[Gillytine777]

If these quotes aren't enough to convince everyone that he was the best, then I don't know what the world's coming to. I could quite literally watch him all day and not get bored.

Can't wait for the testimonial!

[barryhains]

i cried watching this video.what a player paul scholes.THE best ever!

all the greats in the game acknowledged that.you name them! messi,xavi,zidance,ronaldinho,­pele,maradona,ronaldo,edgar davids,george best,bobby charlton,dennis law,luis figo.m sad hes retired :( cant wait for his testimonial match though :)

[HammerJammerDingDong]

He could do anything 

I love Bobby Charlton's quote ' He's so good, if he gives the ball away you think he's ill!'

[JordanDinstrumentals]

paul scholes, iv never seen a better midfeilder in my life, my faviroute player of all time

[bistoha]

Has been and always will be my favourite player.

[nino2646]

Most Gifted Midfielder Ever !!!

[asc0514]

[only1davidbeckham]

thank god hes gonna coach if he can make a player even half of what he was that will do the job

[suryalinaten10]

What a strong, emotional video. I will miss him, our Ginger Prince!

[rifway22]

man football getting boring by the year, fist zidane retired in 2006 and now scholes in 2011

[MostSimpleUserName]

His tackling may have been laughable at best and he may not have been the most skillful ball worker, but all he needed was a football and nothing more. He utilized it and knew it more than any scholar of the game.

[xpectnomercy1]

@786Gforce

wtf you know about football then?must be mascot in your life somewhere.

[clubindigo]

An absolutely invaluable player. One of the best ever, and my favourite without a doubt. The fact that brilliant players like Pele, Maradonna, Zidane, Figo and Ronaldinho all compliment him on being brilliant, shows that the man is one of the best of all time. An absolute LEGEND.

[intransmissivel]

off the pitch he disappears lol

[SuperRhys99]

@786Gforce what a bellend you are have no clue bout football!!!

[alekzinho71]

@786Gforce Really? you clearly don't know the beautiful game.

[silas8six]

legend, anyone else feel that now the best footballer around when growing up has retired they are getting old?

Also what are the odds scholesy has been shagging giggs's missus?

[Melkor3001]

Great vid, thanks mate! How can you argue with all those quotes. Just a shame he didn't feature in the more vital games towards the end of this season. Cheers Paul, you're an absolute footballin legend who will never be forgotten!

[mihail1308]

simply the best...

[MrTaabid9]

thanks..I mean it

[tirconnel90]

socrates: "Good enough to play for Brazil. I love to watch Scho-les, to see him pass, the boy with the red hair and the red shirt."

[Jackyjhwang]

it's so sad not to see him any more.........

[arniarni1510]

[lptbeasy]

Me: "Scholesy's retired, Dad"

Dad: "Yeah, he could've been playing in the current Barcelona team, the way he controls the ball and passes"

[giancarlomc]

I don't care what people say.. I really am crying right now.. and then when Giggsy retires, I'll cry my soul out.. and I'll be left without football heroes.. FOREVER UNITED!!

[dockcha]

@giancarlomc Definitely know what you mean T T;; but we can always be thankful to have gotten the opportunity to watch him in action:D:D

[itsmebabeG]

shed tear

[RedSargent99]

Paul Scholes - A hero, idol, and legend among all midfielders. He will be missed on the pitch. We still had a lot to learn from him.

[mrolboy10]

great vid

[estarismajestic]

Yea but he was ginger and couldn't tackle!

[69KingOfHearts69]

@estarismajestic You have to be looking for attention with a comment like that, the funny thing is, a small minded comment like that is embarrassing, go and look for some recognition where you're wanted.

[dee2211]

RIP. He will be missed. Say hello to Clint Malarchuk for us Scholesy.

[ThePhilberto]

R.I.P In Peace Paul.

[ForeverReeling]
