His appearance comes just months after his father, who retired from playing professionally in 2013, stepped in to play for son Arron’s team – Royton Town.
Despite a loss, Royton manager Mark Howard said that the presence of 43-year-old Scholes – who won 66 England caps between 1997 and 2004 – improved the overall standard of the game and the players involved.
