Man Utd legend Paul Scholes calls himself a ‘silly t***’ as he reveals bizarre choice for his ‘favourite ever pic’
PAUL SCHOLES has bizarrely revealed his favourite ever picture – even though it was from one of the few low points in his career.
The now 48-year-old was at Manchester United for the entirety of his playing career and won the lot.

Having come through the ranks with the likes of David Beckham and Gary Neville in the famous Class of ‘92, he achieved legendary status under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Scholes lifted the Premier League title 11 times and the Champions League twice.
He enjoyed hundreds of memorable moments wearing the shirt of United, however, he has now revealed his favourite ever picture from his career.
But, strangely, it was from an afternoon where Scholes says he made a “silly t***” of himself.
He shared an image on his Instagram from the 2005 FA Cup Final defeat to Arsenal, where he missed the decisive penalty at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium.
In the shot, he is standing soaking wet from the rain at the end of the line, next to former captain Roy Keane.
Then comes Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand to complete the star-studded line-up.
Scholes captioned the picture with: “My favourite ever pic apart from being the only silly t*** to miss a pen.”

And he followed up those words with three emojis of monkeys covering their eyes.
The cup final that year finished in a goalless draw after United had dominated the game.
But after the stalemate, Scholes saw his low spot-kick palmed away by Jens Lehmann as the Gunners triumphed 5-4 on penalties.
Whilst Scholes shared his favourite picture, arguably his least would be images shared by his daughter of him chewing her TOENAILS.
His netball playing daughter Alicia shared footage that left many viewers feeling sick.
