Scholes gets my vote for top award, admits Henry

THIERRY HENRY knows a thing or two about what it takes to earn the respect of your fellow pros to be crowned PFA Player of the Year — and reckons Paul Scholes has the game to top everyone this season.

The Arsenal captain was the winner of the prestigious accolade in both 2003 and 2004.

Manchester United midfielder Scholes, 32, is on the six-man shortlist along with Henry’s team-mate Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs and last year’s winner Steven Gerrard.
