Paul Scholes

The Manchester United not only lost in the last week of May 2011 the final of the UEFA Champions League against Barcelona . Ryan Giggs will be a little more alone in the locker room since 1986, commanding Sir Alex Ferguson . One of the 18 highest scorers in the history of the Premier League hanging up his boots. Football already miss him.

The international midfielder Paul Scholes after playing 676 matches and scored 150 goals with the coat of Manchester United Football Club withdraws from football practice. In this impressive amount of games played with the "Red Devils" are added 66 games with the sheepskin from England in which he scored 14 times on the scoreboard.

This is not a decision made lightly, but I feel that this is the time to stop playing. I'm not a man of many words, but I can honestly say that playing football was everything I wanted. Having had a long and successful career at Manchester United has been a great honor. Have been part of a team that helped the club to reach a record 19 titles is a great privilege. I want to thank fans for their tremendous support throughout my career, I would also like to thank the coaches and players I've worked for years. But mostly I want to thank Alex (Ferguson) for being such a great coach. From the day I arrived at the club his door was always open and I know this team will win more trophies under his leadership

So bid farewell to the media and the fans.

The 66 games for England could be more if not announced his international retirement as teams after Euro 2004. Both Sven-Qur'an Eriksson, Steve McClaren and Fabio Capello tried to persuade him to return but was firm in his convictions.

His record is impressive: ten league titles (1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2011), three FA Cup (1996, 1999, 2004), two League Cups and Carling Cup "(2009, 2010) and two European Cups in 1999 and 2008. Although his greatest achievement was probably the UEFA Champions League 2007/2008 which took his spine had not been in the Nou Camp against Bayern Munich.

Scholes is undoubtedly the greatest of his generation. It is a complete midfielder. It was my toughest opponent

The rating belongs to none other than Zinedine Zidane. Someone most exciting sport in the world knows a lot ...

Bye Paul! Take a rest!
