Laurent Blanc, world cup winner: "I tell everyone who asks me, Scholes is the best English player"
Marcello Lippi, world cup winner: "An all-round midfielder who possesses quality and character in abundance."
Edgar Davids: "I'm not the best, Paul Scholes is. We can all learn from Scholes."
Despite being highly regarded by those in the game, Scholes is often overlooked in 'greatest player' polls. In part, this is because Scholes is such a great team player, despite his abundant technical skill - but it's also because he rarely demonstrates flair on pitch, preferring to play it simply most of the time.
For: Ability, work rate, team work, passing ability
Against: Mediocre tackler, didn't always produce the form he was capable of for club or country during his best years
