Plays his 700th game for Man Utd this weekend. Still only 33 and having a fantastic season.
To think he played in the old First Division too!
Top player, what a shame he decided to play for Wales!

    One of the best over the past 16 years since his debut and has undone CAFC on many an occasion, the goal he got vs Arsenal in the cup is still I feel on of the best goals I have seen

    Wasn't it Giggs who tried a shot from the half way line, that hit the bar, in that 3-3 game we had with them?

    his goal in the 3-3 was magnificent but hardly ever talked about.

    Great pro great player.

    Just think all those Hammy injuries in his early days he would surely be nearer 800 games.

    The best player of the Premiership era bar none - absolutely awesome.
    Imagane and England/Wales team over the last dozen years with Giggs on the left!

    Going to buck the trend and not praise him to high heaven. Don't think (apart from brief flashes) he's ever played as well as he did in first few seasons. And the way he's treated wales (he's still in single figures for friendly appearences and missed so many competative games injured where he's played for Man Utd in the weeks before and after the wales game) is a complete disgrace.

    Plus, those tights last season! Not only pathetic, but surely breaches FA rules about visible undergarments being the same colour as the kit (the tights were black whilst the socks and shorts were white)

    I will agree that he had a couple of seasons in which he was below his standards.

    Maybe he had a delhi belly and didnt want any 'during match spillage' to show on his white shorts?

    He didn't decide to play for Wales, he has 2 Welsh parents so had no choice.He played for England schoolboys as he was at school in England not because of any english blood he may have had.

    LOL - I rediscovered footage on my camcorder of Randy Andy's infamous Worldnet "brown shorts" shame

    A meaner man than me would post this on YouTube but I'll settle for £50 instead ;-)

    He was born in England. He had every choice. He chose Wales to please his Dad.

    Wearing black under white shorts doesn't have any effect, so I hear.

    Paaaaah. The most over rated player in Premiership history. He's crap.

    Anyone who knows anything about football knows that.
