Farewell to a Legend

Scholes has appeared in 676 matches for United scoring 150 goals over a 17 year span, making his debut in 1994. 

The Ginger Prince himself was greeted by Pele, United legend Eric Cantona (coach of New York Cosmos) as well as Sir Alex and David Gill before the kick-off to his testimonial on Friday. Paul Scholes who will go down as one of United's most decorated players in team history, has won 10 Premier League titles, 4 FA cups and 2 European Championships. Known for his long distance crackers, it was fitting that Scholes opened the scoring of his testimonial with a beautiful, textbook Scholes 20-yard strike. 

The class act left the Old Trafford faithful simply with this modest statement "I hope I gave them a few decent memories." Well Paul, you have left me with more memories than a United supporter could imagine. Other than his hilarious hand balls, he gave me a moment never to forget... The winner against Barca on April 23, 2008 (Champions League Semi). Though you didn't play in the final, United supporters should always think of you when they remember the priceless moment of John Terry's crying ass after he duffed that penalty. 

Paul you're a fucking Legend. 

P.S. Can't wait for United to dick-slap City tomorrow.
