Currently co-owner of Salford City and a television pundit for BT Sport, Paul Scholes will always be remembered for his work on the football pitch for Manchester United and England.

One of the most critically acclaimed midfielders, despite all his faults, few could whack the ball in from the sort of distance that the Englishman specialised in.

However, Scholes has also been criticised for his disciplinary record, amassing the fifth-most yellow cards in Premier League history with 97, and the second most yellow cards in Champions League history with 32.

Often appreciated for his ability to pick a pass, most generally fail to recognise the goal-scoring talents that the midfielder possessed.

A talent which saw him score over a century of goals in the Premier League and sit on number 4 on the list for the top goal-scoring midfielders in the Premier League.
