After hearing Ryan Giggs intends to extend his remarkable career by a further year, we here at TheGloriousUnited are at somewhat of a loss in doing justice to the great man. Therefore, we have elected to leave it to the words of others…
“It’s almost impossible to replace a player like Ryan Giggs – you do not find many players like him. He is a rarity. He has world class attributes and has achieved so much at one club. You can only look up to him.” - Ji-sung Park
“To spend twenty years at one club is unique in this era. Ryan has been a fantastic servant to United. It will be a comforting thought if he ends his career here.” – Sir Alex Ferguson
“I think it will only be when he hangs up his boots that people will realise just how remarkable a player he is and just what he has achieved.” – Rio Ferdinand
“Ryan’s amazing. His energy, his work-rate, his passing and his movement are unbelievable. It’s a privilege to play with him.” – Wayne Rooney
“This is embarrassing to say but I have cried twice in my life watching football player.The first one was Maradona and the second was Ryan Giggs.” – Alessandro Del Piero
“There’s no way that Ryan Giggs is another George Best: he’s another Ryan Giggs.” - Dennis Law
“Eric Cantona is a great player, but he’s not as good as Ryan Giggs.” - Johann Cruyff
“His talent is God-given.He will have wonderful skill even when he’s got his bus pass, because that sort of ability never deserts you.” – Brian Kidd
“A young Giggsy was like a Ballet Dancer. I had never seen a young player like that and I had seen the Busby Babes.” – Eric Harrison
“The first time I saw Giggsy, he was playing for Salford Boys against United’s apprentices. He was thin and wiry but he just glided past four of our apprentices as if they weren’t even there, then he put the ball in the back of the net. I just thought ‘This kid’s an absolute natural’” – Bryan Robson
