Ditto
Scholes is the best of the three without doubt for me, he is the one the top European players held in highest esteem the likes of Xavi etc
Neither Beckham, Giggs or Rooney were overrated either.
Crazy talk tbh.
Just not held in high enough esteem for them to ever vote for him when it came to the Ballon d'Or lists...which Lampard and Gerrard managed a top 2/3 finish in their careers. Voted for by their peers.
Folk just don't want to admit being wrong. Probably the same types who still claim that Maradona won a World Cup by himself.
Lampard:
- Ballon d’Or: 2nd place (1)
- Fifa player of the year 2nd place (1)
- PFA Prem Team of the Year: (3)
- Premier league player of the season(1)
- Prem player of the month (4)
- FWA footballer of the year (1)
- England player of the year (2)
- Fifa world xi (1)
Total:14
Gerrard:
- Ballon d’Or: 3rd place (1)
- UEFA footballer of the year: (1)
- PFA player of the year: (1)
- PFA Prem Team of the Year: (8)
- Prem player of the month (6)
- FWA footballer of the year (1)
- England player of the year (2)
- Fifa world xi (3)
- UEFA team of the year (3)
Total: 26
Paul Scholes:
- Prem player of the month (4)
- PFA Team of the year (2)
Total: 6
Ballon d’Or nominations and votes:
Steven Gerrard: 6 nominations, 220 votes
Frank Lampard: 5 nominations, 169 votes
Paul Scholes: 5 nominations, 0 votes.
*Scholes with less Ballon d'Or votes than Premier League players like Adrian Mutu and Papa Bouba Diop.
Can’t remember how long it was but one of our games in the Champions league against Man Utd I thought Scholes ran the game, I was very impressed.
I’m a great believer in you have to see the player play the game. No respect from me if you just watch them on TV and try to push your opinion down others throats.
I made the same point about Le Tiss recently. Get of your arses guys and see some football round the world before you just mouth off on social media.
The person 'mouthing off' (Curtis Woodhouse) has played against them, which is obviously more than you've done...just saying.
