Paul Scholes

One of my all-time favorite players. The Dandy Red Head is a creative midfield player for the 2009 Barclay's English Premier League Champion, Manchester United. He is a red devil through and through considering he grew up as a young boy playing in the Manchester United youth system.
I had the pleasure to watch Paul Scholes play in person when United took on Juventus at Giants Stadium a couple of years back. His passing and movement is so sharp and crisp. He hits 50 yard driven balls with the accuracy that most players hit 10 yard inside of the foot passes. Truly remarkable.
He is known to score many goals on balls laid back to him at the top of the box or balls cleared off of corner kicks or crosses. His clean striking technique is his trademark. He is very quiet and laid back off the field, but his game makes a lot of noise. Look out for the #18 the next time you watch United, he has bright red hair, you can't miss him!
