PLAYING for one club throughout an entire career is a rarity but there have been notable stars throughout history that have remained loyal.
Jack Grealish found the pull of champions Manchester City too much to turn down while Harry Kane wants to leave Tottenham to challenge for silverware.
Some players have remained devoted to one club though as they became legends. But who are the most loyal players in history?
Paul Scholes
Paul Scholes is a Manchester United legend after playing 718 matches across two spells at Old Trafford.
The former England midfielder retired in 2011 but decided to change his mind and return for the Red Devils.
Scholes won 11 Premier League titles during his career as his creativity and vision formed a key part of Sir Alex Ferguson’s iconic team.
Ryan Giggs
Ryan Giggs was a phenomenal success during his playing career at Manchester United.
The former Wales winger won 34 trophies at Old Trafford, including 13 Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues.
Giggs turned down the chance to join AC Milan during his career and went on to play a record 963 games for United.
Mark Noble
Mark Noble is a West Ham legend and the midfield is still going strong as he enters his final season at the club.
The captain signed a new contract earlier this year which will be his last one with the Hammers.
The 33-year-old, who has made more than 500 appearances, came through the youth academy and made his debut in 2004.
Matt le Tissier
Matt le Tissier’s ability was legendary with the playmaker spending his entire career with Southampton.

Renowned for his brilliance on the ball and a scorer of spectacular goals, he netted 209 times in 540 games for the club.
Le Tissier’s talent was not recognised enough during a brief international career for England and the midfielder opted to remain with the Saints despite not competing for domestic silverware.
