Has there ever been a player quite like Paul Scholes? A footballer held in the highest regard by
his fellow professionals yet never fully appreciated by certain sections of the media. Admired by
his own fans, but often overlooked by others.
To some, Scholes is the finest English midfielder of his generation.
Duncan Edwards and George Best. Entwined in Manchester United's history and mythology. Separated by
only a few years, they may as well have been from different worlds. Edwards, the man child, the

With my hair falling out even faster than it was prior to the summer transfer window opening, there
must be a serious possibility that I'll be sporting a full blown friars patch come the beginning of
the new season. I'm sure I'm not the only Red suffering with this complaint, it's quite normal for
