In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen — the most complete — is Scholes. I have spoken with Xabi Alonso about this many times. Scholes is a spectacular player who has everything. He can play the final pass, he can score, he is strong, he never gets knocked off the ball and he doesn’t give possession away. If he had been Spanish then maybe he would have been valued more.

To me Paul is a role model. He is the best midfielder I've seen in the last 15 or 20 years.

My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder.

Zinedine Zidane

Scholes is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation.

If you look at any movement Hip Hop would be the most influential in the last maybe 15, 20 years.

I wouldn’t swap Paul Scholes for anybody. He is quite simply the most complete footballer I have ever played with. He is the best.

Gary Neville

Every player wants to be as complete as possible and goals for a central midfielder are very important.

Andres Iniesta

Think about everything you read and everything you see. The one thing we can learn from all the horrible things that have happened in the last 15-20 years is that hysteria is the last thing we need. Cool thinking, pragmatism, and analytical thought are most important at this point.

If I had a Paul Scholes in my team, everything would be around him. At Manchester United, they saw it like that, but I think Paul Scholes is one of the best I've played against in this league, and seen anywhere.

Thierry Henry

Alekhine evidently possesses the most remarkable chess memory that has ever existed. It is said that he remembers by heart all the games played by the leading masters during the last 15-20 years.

Jose Raul Capablanca

They try to say this era was a tainted era. But so many great players played in the last 15 to 20 years. This is going to be the best era in the history of the game in my opinion.

I still have the same friends I've had for the last 15 or 20 years.
