You must have a rare and special football talent to impress the great Sir Bobby Charlton. The United legend summed up Paul Scholes perfectly: "He's always so in control and pinpoint accurate with his passing - a beautiful player to watch."

Part of the new wave of talent that ushered in Beckham, Giggs, Butt and the Neville brothers in the mid-1990s, Salford-born Scholes scored twice on his debut in the League Cup at Port Vale in 1994/95 - and on his first league outing against Ipswich - and never looked back.

A host of golden seasons at Old Trafford include 1995/96's Double-winning campaign, in which he covered admirably during Eric Cantona's suspension, finishing second behind the Frenchman in the scoring charts with 14 goals; he was a cornerstone of 1999's Treble-winners, although suspension ruled him out of the UEFA Champions League final, and in United's Premier League success in 2003, his 20-goal haul was vital.

Neat and compact, a misplaced Scholes pass was one of the rarest sights in football. His superb eye for goal and late runs from midfield also served his country superbly on 66 occasions.
