PAUL SCHOLES, HE STILL SCORES GOALS
He's been out of the game for a year now, but Paul Scholes clearly
hasn't lost the touch that made him a legend during a stellar career at
Manchester United.The 39-year-old was playing in a friendly 7-a-side match for Chadderton Park Legends with some fellow oldies, and won possession on halfway before lobbing the befuddled goalkeeper with one magical swing of his right peg.
It's gained the notoriously shy Scholes viral fame and proves that class really is permanent.

CAN ROONEY BECOME EPL TOP DOG?
Wayne Rooney's 163rd and 164th goals for Manchester United against Tottenham took him into the top 5 Premier League scorers of all time, ahead of Liverpool great Robbie Fowler.
The Manchester United striker now has three retired forwards and Chelsea's Frank Lampard in his sights to become the No.1 in the EPL's short history.
Lampard, who is not starting every league game at Chelsea now, is four ahead (168) of his England colleague, while Thierry Henry (175) and Andy Cole (187) are well within his reach.
Sitting some way ahead in top spot is prolific former Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United goal machine, Alan Shearer.
Shearer netted an astonishing 260 Premier League goals during to put him head and shoulders above his rivals.
Rooney is 28-years-old, meaning he could have up to 10 years to surpass Shearer's mark.
NON-LEAGUE FOOTBALL BRILLIANCE
You probably haven't heard of Glen Little or his English non-league side Wealdstone, but you can't deny the 38-year-old has got some skills.

'IMMATURE' AVB
Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas has been accused by West Ham United counterpart as showing "immaturity" in his dealings with the English media.
Following the draw with Manchester United, AVB took aim at critics, including former Spurs chairman, Lord Sugar, who he believes have a personal agenda against him.
The Portuguese boss is under pressure after seeing his expensively assembled squad fail to ignite, but Allardyce believes he's gone about it the wrong way.
"You have to use the criticism as a motivational drive to show these people that they are wrong," Allardyce said.
"You've got to take it on the chin. You and your players have got to do your talking on the field. I think he's just showed a little bit of immaturity.
"It can get under your skin but you can't let that happen because you're not going to win."
MOYES WORRIED
David Moyes admits Arsenal's nine-point lead over Manchester United has him "concerned".
Arsenal's win over Cardiff City on the weekend, coupled with United's draw with Spurs, has seen the Gunners push clear at the top of the pile.
"I think the way we are at the moment, we have to win all of our games," Moyes told the club's official TV channel.
"I'm concerned we're not as close as we'd like to be [to Arsenal] but it's a long season and hopefully we'll be there or thereabouts.
"There are a lot of games to go. I think the Premier League is tight and we'll try to stay on the shirt-tails and put ourselves in a good position at the start of next year."
