Ryan Giggs, Leyenda del Manchester United

The Welshman has made a pact with the red devils and, at 39 years, has the same enthusiasm and excitement than any soccer rookie. And anyone thinks that his end is near. Ryan Giggs has just renewed his contract with the Manchester United until June of 2014.

Furthermore, he equaled  Raul Gonzalez as the player who has more games  (144) in the history of the European Cup.

Giggs has played 931 matches and scored 168 goals as a United player (The rest as a player of wales national team). He is a symbol of Sir Alex Ferguson’s team, and has played in three Champions League finals and won two, one of which, in 2008, with a goal in a sudden death shootout.

The generations that have seen him play will remember him as an arrow on the left wing, with the number 11 stamped in his back.
