I'd say about Scholes though that he's still going to be in most people's team imo. For the same reason that lads who saw Robson are picking Robson ahead of Scholes and Keane. Part nostalgia because that first really legendary central midfielder a young person sees is the standard-bearer for everyone else in that position to follow but also just because Scholes's entire career is on tape and for the most part broadcast around the world. |

Not particularly a fan of the system, but If you’re picking a best XI, you’ve got to play three at the back. You can’t waste 20% of your outfield players on fullbacks. No disrespect to fullbacks, and even great fullbacks like Denis Irwin, but at the end of the day they’re still fullbacks. The position is only a small rung up from goalkeepers.
With that in mind, from all the players I’ve seen: VDS Rio Stam McGrath Ronaldo Scholes Robbo Keane Beckham Eric Rooney |

I can only include players I’ve watched myself in my lifetime so no Charlton, Law or Best despite the videos I’ve made of them
VdS Neville Rio Stam Evra Ronaldo Scholes Keane Giggs Cantona RvN Hard to leave Becks out of the midfield but Ronaldo is Ronaldo Van Der Sar and Schmeichel was a bit of a toss up however in the modern game Big Edwin’s ability to use his feet would give him the edge |
