Known for his bullets from outside the box, Paul Scholes in the second senior player in Manchester United squad after Ryan Giggs. Scholsey, as known by his team mates, joined Manchester United in 1994 and has been with them since.

Scholes is another player in the first team who has spent almost 15 years with Manchester United. He played an important role in Manchester United’s treble winning performance in 1999. He scored two goals in the FA Cup final against Newcastle United.

Scholsey couldn’t believe his luck when he scored the only goal in the two leg tie against Barcelona in 2008 Champions League semi final. The goal sent Manchester United in the final of the all important competition.

This would be Scholsey’s first Champions League Final as he was ruled out in the 1999 edition due to suspension. So this time Sir Alex Ferguson promised Scholsey that his would be the first name in the starting 11 for 2008 final.

Manchester United eventually won the final and Shcolsey got his most awaited medallion.

He retired from international services in August 2004. He played for England and earned 66 caps scoring 14 goals in his international career.
