An amazing player who will be missed, such a quality player who I wished stayed on . Sad he has had to retire. If any of you have watched the testimonial match today. He scored an amazing goal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN_CUs_1O4U. Such a great player and will be missed.
To be fair the Cosmos team was mainly consisting of a bunch of random players (plus Gary friggin Neville of course) but still there's no denying how poor the American "saw-kah" is. MLS is probably on par with League Two or if you're really optimistic, League One. Paul Scholes is still an absolute ginger legend though. Certainly one of the best players to grace the United shirt during my lifetime. Plus a football man to the core, not allowing himself to be sucked into the show business like most players today. That might bring them more money but certainly won't make any of them into a better football player. Will be sorely missed but at least he'll pass on his knowledge to the juniors. When he speaks the blokes at the United youth teams certainly should listen.
There's a Scholes thread on the Liverpool board at the moment, we are actually being quite honest and saying what a good player he was. Generally.
NY Cosmos are not a proper team at this stage though. Their side was a bunch of former premier league stars and some U23s.
