We have been sort of spoilt over the years

Scholes is the best English player. Intelligence, technique, strength... all the attributes are there. At Manchester United I saw what he could do on the training field. Phew!
Laurent Blanc

Scholes is undoubtedly the best midfielder of his generation.
Zinedine Zidane

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

I can't understand why Scholes has never won the player of the year award. He should have won it long ago. Maybe it's because he doesn't seek the limelight like some of the other 'stars'.
Thierry Henry

The player in the Premiership I admire most? Easy - Scholes.
Patrick Vieira

He is the one whose level I aspire to. He is the best player in the Premier League.
Cesc Fabregas

Every one of us (midfielders) is just trying to become as good as him. Everyone can learn from Paul Scholes.
Edgar Davids

I'm more an admirer of Paul Scholes than I am of Ronaldo. Ronaldo is a fantastic player, but he has 10 other great players around him every week. Scholes is one of the most complete footballers I've ever seen. His one-touch play is phenomenal. Whenever I have played against him, I never felt I could get close to him.
Eidur Gudjohnsen

He’s the best one or two-touch passer in the country. He sees the game unlike any other player.
Terry Venables

He knows how to do everything, and he is the one who directs the way his team plays. On top of that, he has indestructible mental strength, and he is a genuine competitor.
Thierry Henry

I'm not the best, Paul Scholes is.
Edgar Davids

I tell anyone who asks me - Scholes is the best English player
Laurent Blanc

Paul Scholes would have been one of my first choices for putting together a great team - that goes to show how highly I have always rated him. He would have been one of the first players I’d have bought, given the chance.
Marcello Lippi

My ideal day? Train in the morning, pick up the kids from school, go home, play with kids, have tea, get them up to bed, and then come down to watch a bit of TV. I don't get hassled. I can go anywhere I want to. Nobody stops me from going down to Tesco's. I'm recognised, of course, and I get asked for my autograph but it is never a problem. I've never been conscious of losing out on big money because of the way I've wanted to live my life. I've never turned down big commercials because I'm shy. It's just the way I've been. I did get a boot contract once. But no, I haven't earned much outside the game. Maybe it's because I'm not good looking enough?
