Giggs

He made his debut for Man Utd 20 years ago today and he's still a great player today.
So the term "Legend" is probably justified :)
Only Arsenal fans won't want to remember that goal in the Cup semi back in 99 which is still one of the greatest ever scored.
I'm old enough to remember watching him in one of those Schoolboy matches from Wembley that they used to show on telly in the Eighties when he was called Ryan Wilson and was England's captain!!.
His decision to turn his back on his father's name and country probably cost him his and us a chance of World cup glory, as for so many years England have struggled to find a decent left winger and surely he would have made one hell of a difference?
But he was born in Wales so we shouldn't really complain.
Still think it's great that a player can spend his whole career with one club which harks back to the old days and just doesn't seem to happen now despite all that badge kissing from players who are only loyal till another club offer a few quid more.
