This is Paul Scholes you probably don't know him but you probably do recognize beckham who is often considered to be the greatest midfielders in England's history, if you asked literally any man united or English football fan they'll tell you that scholes was 10x better than beckham.Scholes was another level. Pin point accuracy in passing, dangerous attacking play, the ability to control the entire tempo of a game, Scholes outperformed Beckham in terms of goal scoring too. 155 goals in 718 appearances for Manchester United. Just google to see how many top midfielders rated Scholes as the best midfielder, see what players like Zidane, Davids, Iniesta, Viera, Figo had to say about the ginger.
But what Beckham was, in addition to being a top player, was a celebrity. He courted the media, enjoyed the limelight, married a pop star and got involved in fashion etc. All this elevated his status. He knew how to talk and his chad looks was something that English media could market so he became the poster boy for england while scholes was just a side character he wasn't as charismatic, he wasn't as involved with the british media. And he was a ginger manlet so he never got as famous as beckham. Brutal looks and NT pill
