Even the most hardened Man U haters must respect this guy? 20 years at the very top his profession at a top club is seriously impressive...or am I being a bit too sentimental?
One of the best in my view!
Fantastic personality too.
He deserves all he gets - a gentleman on the field (for the most part) and a good role model. And has remained one of the UKs best footballers for almost his entire career.
(Leeds United fan BTW)
Yep, a very good player.
He's still doing it at the top level because of yoga apparently.
Good lad, shame he chose to play for Wales 🙂 He could have had a mediocre international career wearing an England shirt instead 😉
Only player to score in every premier league season
Legend
Viera, whooooah
Viera, whooooah
He gave Giggsy the ball
And Arsenal won **** all 🙂
Who scored the first Premier League goal (have a go, no Google-cheating)?
Was it a striker type? Promise not to cheat...at least give us a team or something.

The Blades. A forward.
EDIT - Just double-checked what I thought was right was right. It is. Carry on...
Oh Jeez...Sheffield United? I can't remember any of their players from that time...there's a name trying to get into my head. I shall have to cheat...
*googles*
😆
I'd never have got that.
The word Legend is massively overused and devalued in today's culture but Giggsy personifies it
Fergie ain't the sentimental type either. He's there on merit. Just natural talent and ****ing hard work. Think about it:
Giggs, Scholes, Beckham, the Neville's, and Nicky Butt all from that academy twenty years ago. We'll never see the like's of that generation produced from one team ever again. A true one off!
I regularly critisize his insistence on flicking blinds balls to no-one in particular. Still better then most wingers in the league on match-winning-moments per game.
Binners in overusing the word "legend" 😉

Surely the maximum match-winning moments per game is 1.
*googles*I'd never have got that.
I have no idea why I remember that nugget but one day it WILL come up in a quiz and I will get it right. 8)
The first Preier League - with Leeds as the current champions (of the 'old' League One after nicking it from Manyuu at the death) then nearly got ourselves relegated in the same season.
Giggs is a class act
Great player, respect is due.
Liverpool Fan

No such thing as a bad pass.
Lol at dd and have on good authority that he thinks you're a tw*t!
*embarrassed coz I bought the Giggs fitness video and I think it's good*
Damn, he's dull but his footballing skills speak for themselves!
I have no idea why I remember that nugget but one day it WILL come up in a quiz and I will [s]get it right[/s]be taking a piss.
Lol at dd and have on good authority that he thinks you're a tw*t!
Oh that's nice.
De nada.
Top player. Head and shoulders above that knob David "I'm bigger than Man U' Beckham. What have you won since you threw a strop and left, David? Girly voiced sarong wearing wally!
I [i]hate[/i] Manure, but Giggsy is up there with Kung Fu Panda and Rudolph the Red Nosed Goalkeeper as true legends of the game. None of the current Man U team are fit to lace Giggsy's boots imo.
hes 3 weeks younger than me, maybe i should not give hope of been signed yet
Oh that's nice.
Yeah well that's what you get for being nasty to other people, innit? Dry your eyes. No-one cares...
Stray blind passes are usually to where another player 'should' be based on game plans and their style of playing. If they're not there, they've either forgotten or the opposition have interfered with their movement.

That would be (literally) be a pisser.
I did once get 'which current* Premier League manager scored the winning goal for Sunderland against Leeds United in the 1973 FA Cup final' as a tie-break question in a pub quiz. I couldn't believe my luck. It is the other thing I know (apart from ox-bow lakes - I know three things in the world).
*Current at the time, not any more
Yeah well that's what you get for being nasty to other people, innit? Dry your eyes. No-one cares...
Ha! That's telling you!!! 😆
No I'm sorry but DD was right nasty to me yesterday, so I have no sympathhy for him, and he deserves all he gets.
Including my wife.
The cah...
I'm feeling very scolded 😳
He doesn't deserve any sympathy, he's a right meany and he knows it but karma will catch him up, I'm going to tell him to get some skinny jeans then people will laugh at him in the street, openly mocking his cankles (whatever they are). A plan as cunning as ever there was... 😈
😯
And so you should be.
Now go and stand in the corner, and have a good think about what you've done.
And don't come out until you've learned how to behave nicely.
cankles = calf/ankles.
gunt = gut/ 😯
Who are you calling a gunt?
thankles = same diameter from top of thigh to foot... 😯
Ryan was very nice and polite when he met my Grandma on a plane once even though she didn't know who he was until the third person asked for his autograph
Oh god! We're not going to have any flouncing going on are we? Come on chaps. Its a Friday afternoon thread about a balding Welsh footballing legend.
Now give each other a hug and lets put this nastiness behind us
Most would flounce.
I'm a better man than that. I might do a skinny jeans flouncette though.
Where's the nastiness? I see no nastiness and I'm not hugging no-one.
Ryan Giggs............... And he's Welsh. 😀

legend and has loyalty beyod years. Particularily impressive that he has manged to change his game as he lost his pace a little.
Doubt his cap record will ever be beaten or medal haul.
He even earnt the respect of elfin who admires him so much he has yet to develop an amusing put down nickname for him. Football knows no higher accolade.
I bet Dani Behr taught him a thing or two about diving in the box when he was but a fresh faced lad 🙂
