Ryan Joseph Giggs, a legend who has devoted his entire career to Manchester United and still going strong. He is a benchmark to many young and aspirant footballers. The Welshmen is well known for his attitude, performance, loyalty and respect which he has earned over his 20 long years of professional career. He believes in performance rather than talking.
At 35, he is playing the best form of his life, which is a rare quality to come across in the modern day football. Today, when most of the players think about their retirement, from top level, the Genius from Wales is ready to add another milestone to an already illustrious and glorious career at Old Trafford.
On 29 November 1990 Ryan Giggs turned professional footballer and was hailed as one of the finest talents in English Football since George Best. On 4 May 1991, Giggsy in his first full start in a Manchester Derby was awarded with a goal (debatable goal) - his first goal for the Red Devils. In a very short span of time, Giggsy became 'Premiership First Poster Boy' and the player who ruled on millions of hearts of Manchester United fans.
Even today, his 'wonder goal' against Arsenal in the FA cup semi-finals, still lingers on the minds of thousands of fans across the world. I still remember the emotional celebration after the goal, as Giggsy whipped his short of, whirling it around his head and running all the way back to the half-line. Perhaps, the defining moment came when Giggsy set up an equalizer to Teddy Sheringham, in 1999 UEFA Champions League Final against German powerhouse Bayern Munich, winning the game in the injury time by 2-1, making a memorable treble winning season for Manchester United.
Giggsy has played 813 games for the Red Devils, in all competitions, and still counting, surpassing Sir Bobby Charlton record of most appearances for Manchester United. His inspiring career is full of individual and club honors.
Giggsy has won just about everything in the game. Have a look at his medals - 11 League titles, 7 Community Shield, 4 F.A cup, 3 League Cup, 2 Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and Intercontinental Cup. His majestic performance, last season, won him PFA Player of the Year.
'Midas touch' - is all I can say about Giggsy performance at the Britannia Stadium and later during the mid week against VfL Wolfsburg scoring his 150th goal for the club. The Welshmen continues his remarkable form on the pitch, this season, and he is marching in the right direction. Last month he scored a beautiful free-kick at White Hart Lane, suggest that this Old Guard still has the arsenal to compete at the highest level. The inglorious Nani should take some tips from this living legend rather than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Giggsy is getting smarter and sharper, these days; his attributes like precision passing, sublime touch, accurate reading, hard work and impeccable professionalism are highly commendable. True he is aging, has even dropped few paces, but he improves his game every week.
Even after achieving oodles of success, Giggsy is modest to say that he gets inspired from youngsters like Cristiano Ronaldo, Rafael, Wayne Rooney and all the youngsters coming through the academy at Old Trafford.
Last season, he made 45 appearances for the Red Devils, in all competitions, which reflects the commitment from the Genius. I must say, at 35, he is playing like 17, which might lend him another PFA Young Player award!
Giggsy has played a huge part in the success of Manchester United, over the years, and he still remains a vital figure in Manchester United plan of winning trophies. Sir Alex Ferguson is very clever to deploy him a deeper role and Giggsy have adapted to his new position very well. The gaffer believes that Ryan Giggs deserves a knighthood and rightly so. On 29 April 2009, Manchester United fans have launched an online petition to nominate Ryan Giggs for knighthood. It's a great gesture by Manchester United fans, to pay tribute to their legend, so better get use to saying 'Sir Ryan Giggs' in future.
The most decorated player in English football history and the best left wing mid-fielder from Manchester United is truly irreplaceable. I would like to end with a quote by Jose Mourinho, who once rightly said that 'Ryan Giggs is the Best Ever EPL Player'.
