| Ryan Giggs |
Man Utd
Born: 11/29/73
Hometown: Cardiff |
| There can be few more exhilarating sights in football than the beautifully-balanced Ryan Giggs running at pace at an opposition defence.Who can forget his brilliant goal in the 1998-99 FA Cup semi-final replay? With Manchester United down to ten men Giggs weaved his way through the Arsenal defence to score a sensational goal.It was a shown over and over again on television and led manager Sir Alex Ferguson to describe it as the best goal he had ever seen. Born in Wales but brought up in Salford, Giggs was actually on the books of Manchester City before signing for United.He made his debut as a 17-year-old. Giggs is a skilful winger-cum-midfielder who usually operates on the left. He has a devastating shot and is a frequently used free-kick specialist.The Welshman was sidelined for a considerable part of the 1998-99 season with a niggling foot injury but was brought out for the big matches to great effect.Giggs has signed a five-year contract which takes him through to 2003. |
