Ryan Giggs

They go on about how he's "scored in every Premiership season" but it's now 21 consecutive league seasons he's scored a goal in.

£#%&!ing legend.

True dat.

Though should only be 20 really as that goal vs City in 1990/91 was never his in a million years.

You're right of course, but it would take a heart of pure stone not to credit that.

£#%&! him.

Hell of a claim to fame for Colin Hendry, he scored the first goal of Ryan Giggs' illustrious career

When he first came onto the scene some Italian club apparently offered £15M for him. I can't remember who it was now. Anyway, I'll stick my neck out and say we should have taken it. He's worth £#%&! all now at his age.

It was Juve I think that made the bid.

We need to win the league this year. 11 league medals is an odd number, better a dozen, rolls off the tongue nicely.

Take note Kiko.

Wasn't he at that famous party at Sharpey's house where Ferguson turned up and made all the girls go home?

He was older then than Kiko is now.

Not a nightclub, no photographers around, fergie dragged him out by his ear... and he's never done it again.

Thought it was Inter who chased him.

Either way, what a £#%&!ing man.

I thought it was Milan

Ahhh £#%&! it, they failed

That was Scholes £35M they offered. As Paddy Crerrand said "You'd be hard pressed to get Paul Scholes out of North Manchester, never mind England." Even Paddy knows Mid's in Mcr.

Giggs is no saint, he's had his moments in the press. Wasn't he in the papers for giving his girlfriend/wife a slap as well?

Did he ?

Top red ! Just because they've bagged a legend doesn't mean they need to get #@&%!y about it.. a good slap now and then keeps them grounded.

Was he?? Don't remember that either

Ah yes, think I remember Dani Behr now. She did some kids TV stuff as well, I think.......

Also vaguely remember her (if it was her?) saying something along the lines of "people say Ryan has been crap since he met me - it's true, he has been crap since he met me" which shows more self-awareness than your average slag, at least

Isn't Donna Air a geordie and massive NUFC fan?? Doubt that one, if so. Frightfully skinny as well
