He wasn't three years top scorer with Newcastle. Two were with Blackburn.

Amazing striker sure others were more skillful but what a finisher. Some penalty take as well.

Scholes' team had three times as many.

Scholes wasn't rated by many as highly as he is now after his post retirement elevation, especially by his peers, evidenced by Gerrard's many individual awards and Scholes' few.

Supports my point. A brilliant team player against an attention seeking weirdo.
Top players make others better too and help their teams win things.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No, it directly contradicts your point.

Gerrard was rated much higher when they played and as such got voted for many awards and was at one time third in votes for the worlds best player. Scholes never got near it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tbh I'm not that interested in this debate. Im just bored.

Scholes marginally better for me.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course you are as you're spouting nonsense. Gerrard was rated higher by their peers at the time of playing. Scholes received a post retirement elevation. You jumped on the bandwagon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ll give Gerrard two footed tackles and penalties

I’ll give Scholes passing ability, dribbling, ball control, shooting, awareness of people around him, dictating the tempo of a game etc etc
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gerrard better passing, shooting heading, tackling dribbling, leadership. Scholes better at getting better each year after retiring.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gritting your teeth and flying into tackles isn’t a skill

Scholes was a cultured artist with a football brain, not a long legged hatchet man
