Paul Scholes - Quality personified

Paul Scholes the shy hero
Zidane's "toughest opponent"
"Undoubtedly the greatest of his generation"
That vital midfield component

Unassumingly loyal one club man
Ten league titles on the run
Vision, touch, wild lunges, red cards
Scoreing mind boggling goals for fun

Said Rio, "a dictator of the game"
"Best in the Prem," exclaimed Henry
"Quality in abundance" described Lippi
"He has it all," waxed Xavi

Like Hoddle and the gifted club
Fulcrum for the English?
Little faith to build round the dynamo
So different had Paul been Spanish

Number 7
