Steve Douglas 1 June 2011 LONDON - Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes announced his retirement from football on Tuesday, ending the trophy-laden career of a famously low-key player widely regarded as one of the most technically gifted of his generation. The 36-year-old Scholes made 676 appearances for United after making his debut for the club in 1994 and was the midfield heartbeat of a team that has dominated English football for the past two decades. Spain midfielder Xavi dubbed Scholes "the best central midfielder that I have seen," while France great Zinedine Zidane once branded him "almost untouchable." "I am not a man of many words but I can honestly say that playing football is all I have ever wanted to do and to have had such a long and successful career at Manchester United has been a real honour," said Scholes, who eschewed the celebrity lifestyle of many modern-day footballers and rarely gave interviews

TMZ has obtained video of the guy who got brutally beaten outside Dodger Stadium, and the video — shot shortly before the attack — shows the victim in a verbal altercation with at least one Dodger fan, and it’s NOT the suspect.

The short clip shows Bryan Stow in the bleachers at the Dodgers/Giants game on opening day, waiving his arms in what appears to be the tail end of a verbal confrontation with a man wearing a Dodgers jersey. The Dodger fan has his finger right up in Stow’s face.

The man in the Jersey is not Giovanni Ramirez — the suspect in the beating who is currently being held on a probation violation. Ramirez insists he wasn’t even at Dodger Stadium at the time of the attack.
