A RAWK-esque poem is required

With Scholes retired and Brown almost certain to leave, we now have absolutely no-one capable of a true reducer

The word 'great' is thrown about far too often these days - players get tagged with it after a few half decent performances.

Scholes however is the one player who genuinely merits it, not just an English game great but a worldwide great - a truly exceptional player who would not be out of place in any line-up.

It's crazy how England fans and media in general didn't appreciate what they had in him - worshipping the higher profiled but far less talented Beckham. And then to favour Forehead and Lampsie over him ... £#%&!ing hell, insanity on an epic scale.

Fantastic player, one of the best in the Club's history - been a total pleasure to watch him.

Rafabio seem to give it a try now and then

The Gary Barlow to Beckham's Mark Owen, Giggsy's Robbie Williams and the Nevile Bros other 2.

Probably my fave Utd player -thanks for so many fantastic memories. What a truly great player.

Yeah, it's just not the same though, they don't induce a wince from the spectator for any other reason than they have either got themselves booked or sent off.

Scholes and Brown could have you sympathising with the opponent at times.

Rumors that United will invite Zidane to play in Scholes's testimonial, and Iniesta has said he would play if invited

We should invite them all, Iniesta, Messi, Xavi and Busquets, then hold the £#%&!ers hostage and make them play for us, possession is nine tenths of the law.

Pique just tweeted about Scholsey:

Paul Scholes retires .. One of the best players I've seen in my life! Training was a sight! It was a pleasure playing with him!

Amazing player.Glad hes staying on at the club.

We're definitely getting somewhere with this. Maybe enough references to his genitalia though.

I wonder what level he'll be coaching at. There's arguments for all levels.

Deserves all the plaudits. Deserved them and more years ago.

One of Salford's greatest sons
£#%&! off Middleton/Oldham/Rochdale £#%&!ers

Anyone got that pic of him boxing? Think Charlie Rouge had it as his avatar.

A sad day.

The best player I've seen at united.

Manchester United want to offer Zinedine Zidane the chance to play in Scholes' testimonial and Andres Iniesta said he'd play if asked #MUFC

It was a bright but dark Tuesday
After the weekend that went before
Scholesy has retired and we'll never win number 4
