"Giggs....Giggs
will tear you apart again!" Ryan Giggs has been thrilling
the Old Trafford crowd since 1990 and has currently the 3rd
highest number of appearances for the club. He will always
be famous for one of the best goals of all time when in 1999
in injury time of the FA Cup Semi-Final reply at Villa Park,
Giggsy dribbled his way through a stubborn Arsenal defence
beating player after player, before unleashing a powerful
shot into the roof of the net. That kicked off the treble
winning season for the Reds. He won the PFA Young Player of
the Year award in two consecutive seasons and has achieved
more medals than any other United player. Ryan Giggs is a
true living legend! |

Ryan
Giggs first played for Manchester United in the season before
the Premiership began; back when Bryan Robson was still captain.
He took possession of United's left wing and never loosened
his grip. Over a fourteen year career so far, he's seen them
all come and go: Cantona, Schmeichel, Beckham and the rest.
Sir Alex Ferguson said of Giggs, "I knew we had an outstanding
talent when we gave him his debut." That was back in
1991, but it remains as true in 2005 as it ever was. Giggs
has been a pivotal figure in United's dominance of the Premiership.
There have been rivals, but no other team can match the their
sustained record of success over recent years. And Giggs is
the only player to have played in all eight of those title
winning campaigns. Off the pitch, Ryan Giggs has always closely
guarded his private life. But here, he opens up for the first
time, sharing details of the sometimes turbulent childhood
that shaped him and the relationships that have mattered to
him to reveal the man behind the famous number 11 red shirt.
One thing seems clear: the Old Trafford crowd will be singing,
'Giggs will tear you apart again!' for a few years yet. |

Ryan Giggs: My Story |
By
Ryan Giggs |
Publishers
Andre Deutsch Ltd |
1994 |
The
blurb reads: "Still only 20 years old, and rumoured to
be worth £15 million, Ryan Giggs is possibly the most
exciting talent to emerge in football since the player he
is most often compared with, George Best. Unlike Best, however,
Giggs has thus far been shielded from the prying eyes and
prodding pens of the press. For the first time, in this book,
Ryan speaks for himself, telling of his childhood, schooldays
and how he came to the famous club. He writes of his training
routine, attitude to the game, interests outside football
and hopes for the future. Testimonials from friends, family,
school teachers and the scout who took him to Alex Ferguson
are included. The hardback edition was updated to include
the 1994-1995 season, when Giggs talks about the past year,
of his successes, injuries and high-profile relationship with
Danni Behr." An audio cassette was also released narrated
by Jason Done. |
