Shame he was never fully appreciated by the national side
A model pro and a good solid family man too.
Just what one of his colleagues could have been remembered as if he hadn't been a twat.

Probably my favourite English player in my lifetime. Best passer of the ball anyway.
Agreed, for me on a list with Sheringham and Gascoigne as the most technically gifted englishmen. The team should have been built around Scholes, instead he ended up shunted out to the left wing.
I'm a tiny bit too young to remember Gazza and Sheringham in their primes really, only really caught the end of their careers.
I'd add Beckham to that list though as well, even though for some reason people seem to want to say he's overrated these days. He could cut a pass open with one ball.
Don't compare them all to mine or you'll never be satisfied.Cant say that its very impressive...
Shame he ran away from his national side
I'm a tiny bit too young to remember Gazza
I remember Sheringham better than I do Gazza.
For all his 'interesting' personality traits, he was a fantastic footballer to watch. Other than Bergkamp, he gave the best performance I've seen a visiting player make at Filbert Street and that was when he was at Everton and supposedly not the player he once was. Truly different to anything we've (England) produced for many years.
I still never understood why Gazza brought chicken and lager to Raoul Moat
