The fact Scholes and Beckham's retirement have been reported at such different media volumes tells you all you need to know about how much Beckham's lily was gilded by good looks and his willingness to be a utter commercial whore. For christ's sake, the man is promoting China now, not to mention the Quataris. The man has no morals.

Scholes, on the other hand, was a far, far, far more gifted a footballer who was just as diligent, if not more. As he looks like a ginger scrotum though, the media hardly raised a hoot.
