There's a nice article in the Guardian this week celebrating the legend that is Giggs:
It is all very well noting that Ryan Giggs has just won his ninth League title, breaking the record held by Phil Neal and Alan Hansen, and will become the most decorated player in English football should he add a fifth FA Cup winner's medal to his collection at Wembley on Saturday. But slightly meaningless.
Statistics such as that make the head spin and the medals belong in a public collection, which happens to be where all the Giggs gongs reside anyway - at Manchester United's museum. 'I wouldn't spend time looking at them now,' he says. 'Maybe when I retire I will.' What gives a better impression of the Giggs years of overachievement at Manchester United is his blase, throwaway remark about Arsenal and Chelsea's success in the past three seasons. 'I was beginning to get worried,' he says. 'I've never gone three seasons without winning the title before.'
