Paul Scholes was crucial to the treble winning side aswell, as Man Utd went on to become the only English club to ever win a treble of such magnitude.
Since then, no team has managed to repeat the success, and again, along with the aggression of Roy Keane, Scholes dictated play.

107 Goals
55 Assists
In the Premier League alone in 499 appearances - phenomenal.
