28Paul Scholes
One of three central midfielders on this list, Scholes evolved during his career, excelling both in a striking role and also, as his legs aged, as a deep-lying playmaker.
Magnificent in the build-up play, while also an expert at running late into the box to finish off moves, he registered 107 top flight goals.
