10 Best One-Club Men In Football History
7. Paul Scholes
Handpicked by Sir Alex Ferguson, Paul Scholes' fairy-tale Manchester United career saw the kind of growth academy managers can usually only dream of (it also saw some anger and punches, but we'll focus on the career growth for this one...).
Coming through the United youth setup, the Salford-star went on to score over 150 goals in 719 appearances for the Red Devils, lifting 25 trophies, including a remarkable 11 Premier League titles. Winning everything possible for a club in a 20-year stay is a pretty sure way to become a one-club legend. Technically, not many come close to this midfield-maestro, whose passing ability and accuracy played a vital part in United's success for so many years, not to mention the shot power that secured the place of some absolute screamers in YouTube highlight videos for years to come.
Scholes' inclusion in this list could be questioned given he briefly came out of retirement in 2018, featuring for his son's team Royton Town against Stockport Georgians in the Manchester Football League Premier Division. So, technically he's not a full-fledged 'one-club' player, but he's staying in because, well, my list, my rules!
