Giggs, your playing is the best - I have never seen any winger like you. May God continue to bless you in everything you in your life.
Henok from Eritrea
Hey Ryan, your are the most important player in Man Utd. You have to continue your talent there. May God bless you.
Etwell Marara
The greatest of them all. Loyal servant of Man U. The No. 11 jersey should long be rested once the great man retires to honour him. Irreplacebale genius, Long live Giggsy! Giggsy! Giggsy!
Tawfiq Mushrif, London
I usually don't notice what goes on in my surroundings when I watch Man U play but when the ball is with Giggs, I barely notice other players on the pitch! Giggs in Man U - makes Man U sense.
Ja Robson, Queensland, Australia
The ultimate premier league player - the only player to play in every premier league campaign even through the hamstring injury times. A triumph and a legend to himself winning his 21st medal recently. There will be more to come for and from this wizard of the field. In a couple of years when he finally calls a halt to his playing career, there will be a lot more success for United if he choses to carry on with his club in a role that will be ready for him. And above all this, he is a credit to his parents and family. Well done for all your achievments and commitment Ryan, I will always follow you.
Lekoba Gift. Botswana
Pure class!
Jeremiah Kimani, Nairobi, Kenya
Absolutely Giggs is aspirational to the upcoming players like Ronaldo, Rooney and the rest of the team. Giggs, wewe ni wetu. Man U huyiiiiii!!!!
Mario Poisson from Mauritius
Ryan Giggs, a role model, a man who is doing his job with love, very humble. Perhaps he doesn't know Mauritius, but he must know that thousands of fans look at him every Saturday on TV. May God always bless you and United.
Saman, Sweden
Ryan Giggs - a legend. Give him 'SIR' RYAN GIGGS.
Martin Nkqwe from Botswana
One of the best players ever to have come from Wales soil, matured under the guidance of the great Sir Alex Fegurson, played with the greatest captains in Eric Cantona and Roy Keane and still going strong. With his new role of a holding midfielder the chap is still a marvel to watch. Long live Giggs the great.
Joabfringz from Uganda
Giggs is the only player who made me support Manchester United during the 1999 season. Long live Giggs and be blessed as a United football star!
anthony walton from newcastle
As a Man U fan i have always looked up 2 giggs he is one of the best the game has 2 offer. He has done things all young and old players dream of so keep up the good work Giggs son.
Steve Williams, Swansea
...as a youngster it would have been so easy for Giggsy to have gone the way of many talented youngsters...a downward spiral. However, Ryan has been the ultimate professional, he has lived right, played right and set the standards for others to follow. In many years to come it will be Ryan Giggs who will be sitting in the stands at Old Trafford as a perfect Ambassador for Man Utd..just as Sir Bobby Charlton does now. Ryan will always be the iconic figure of Man Utd. Would I be right in saying that he will become the first ever Welsh footballer to receive a Knighthood? With his haul of trophies and the way he has played the game, it's only a matter of time before he gets the tap on the shoulder.
Henry Hinge Southampton
Ryan Giggs is the greatest player ever bar nobody.There has never been a player blessed with such a natural balance. He may not get the credit he deserves from the english media or I must say the majority of Man U fans, but throughout continental Europe he is appreciated for the huge star he is.The footballers' footballer.
Evans S Boateng, Ghana
Yes Giggs is really one of the good footballers we'll always talk about in our time. Am really hoping to see him as a great manager. God bless you Giggs for the good work done so far.
Chukwudike Chukwuma, Lagos, Nigeria
A non comparable left winger in the whole world. He got the pace, skill and the ability to read the match. Professor Giggsy with one more premiership trophy to crown his shirt No 11.
Simpande B. Haachizovu from Zambia
Giggs is one player I have watched and admired a lot. He is an inspiration to me. When we watch Man United play we always respectfully call him 'Kamudala katu.' (our big man)If anyone does not like him; then it's because they failed to be like him.
NNN from Zambia
Ryan Giggs is the greatest player for Man U. I like him because of his discipline. He is a true legend. The man is my hero!!!
Brapoh
Giggsy, what a legend he is. On a day/night, he is inspiring. No wonder the gaffer, Sir Alex included him in his squad for the champion's league final with Chelsea in the 2007/2008 campaing.
Kenneth from Norway
I`ve always admired him for his professional attitude on and off the field. Maybe the last of the kind! Brilliant player and so focused! We all hope you continue to play at this level as long as you are physically capable!
Robert Bats from Nottingham
I'm a Man U fan and an admirer of Giggs. I pray that he should stay in the game for another season to groom our new/young players. Thereafter he should also be groomed to be a Man U coach.
NABEEL
Giggs...DAH....wat a player ... i enjoy watching him play. I started liking Giggs since wen i started playing football..The main reason bcoz I use my left foot as him. and I play the winger.he is hero in football keep it up.
Sahr Foday-Ngongou, Freetown, Sierra Leone
He is such a fantastic player. One thing I admire about him is the fact that he has not played for any other team but Manchester United. I love him very much.
Azzy from Blackwood
The other half stills laughs at me cause I shed a tear when Giggs was taken off at his last game. As a Man Utd fan and a Welshman it was a huge moment. Other than John Charles the best Welshman who set foot on a football pitch. People give him stick but it would have been so easy for him to have accepted the offer of playing for England but didn't.
koome kirimi from Kenya
Old wine is said to be always the best - that's why to a modern footballer Giggsy is absolutely incredible. Let's hope his big feet keep him going.
Jordan and Dave from Holyhead
Ryan Giggs is a legend - 10 Premier League trophies and still going!!
Jon Burke Maastricht, Holland
I hope Giggsy stays on @ Utd as a coach i think he has so much knowledge to pass on to the younger players @ the club and is a perfect role model
Jotham Kabanza from Uganda
Giggs is the most succesful player at Old Trafford basing on the trophies & medals he has to his name.He will always remain the best.
Rudyard Soobaroyen from Mauritius
I've been a big fan of Ryan Giggs and Manchester United since I was 9. Ryan Giggs is such a fantastic and outstanding player. I really wish I could meet this guy some day. Such a strong and calm personality...He may not know me but I've been enjoying magic and breathtaking moments thanks to this wonderful player.
Aaron, Windhoek, Namibia
In our country they say "oud maar nie koud nie" - that's Afrikaans, in English it means old but not cold. Mr Giggs has been playing almost from the day I was born but he is still going strong. Keep it up Ryan.
Musa from London
Ryan Giggs means every thing to me from day one because at the age of 6 I used to be a goalkeeper but after seeing Giggs play I just loved him. From then I stopped playing in goal and started playing left midfield which I improve on a lot. Even friends call me Giggs and my dad does because they think I play like him. So my dream right now is to be able to meet him and thank him for being a great role model because I am on my way to make it like him. I've been with Leyton Orient from the age of 11.
Vi, Surrey
It's all been said, the genius is poetry in motion. Perfect balance with a perfect footballing brain. He was the double of my son when he was younger, an added bonus for me. It will be a sad day when he finally hangs up his boots. He must stay within the game, he has so much to offer. The greatest player that I've seen for the last 20 years.
Mohamed Ali Luuq, Gedo, Somalia
Ryan Giggs is one of the best players in the world - he is the lucky charm of Manchester United.
Musa Rufefe from Zimbabwe
Ryan Giggs is the best ever left attacker who has been produced by Manchester United. I say long live Ryan you are my idol.
Yaguba Jalloh Sierra Leone
I used to abbreviate my girl's name as Giggs only to prove that he is the best in whatever he does in football. Giggs you are the true hero of football in the planet earth.You will ever be remembered in the history of football.
Patrick from Hertfordshire
Giggsy should have broken his Manchester United appearance record long while ago if he sorted out the problem of his hamstring earlier. It's joy to watch him. Should Man United retire his No.11 when he calls it a day. He is a legend of the club and his generation. He has got to be at the same par as Sir Bobby, Best and Cantona in Manchester United's history so far. The best of him is Man U through and through and not even Best and Cantona could achieve. If he decided to play for England, there may have been a different story for the World Cup 1998 and 2002. He's truly a great player.
Lucien Nuworklo from Ghana
I have never seen any winger like Giggs in my entire life.He is just a great player.Well done Giggs.
Bhavesh Pither
To achieve what Giggs has achieved will inspire a million footballers!
Bonnie Mataz, Australia
Ryan is just the best. Have followed Man U from 1991 and am so happy that Ryan is still around and having a major influence at Man U. You are a great player Ryan. Man U for life.
Lewis, Curitiba, Brasil
Giggs is not perfect. After all, he has had three bad games in the hundreds he has played.
Adi from Malaysia
He's definitely one of the best and the best of the best. He might not as quick as he used to be but without a doubt in his prime he was unstoppable!!
Budgie from Wrexham
Ryan Giggs is an outstanding player and a real legend and he also is Welsh.
GMM from Zambia
Giggs is the best there was, the best there is and the best there will be on the Manchester United left wing. Long live Ryan.
Susanne Randell, Swansea
We are so proud of Ryan Giggs in Wales - he is a fine example to young people of what can be achieved through dedication and professionalism. In my opinion Ryan is the most magical mid-fielder in football history .
Dilmohamed Joomun from Mauritius
Ryan Giggs is one of the best players in the world - he is the hero of Manchester United.
Laja Moses from Lagos, Nigeria
Oh wow what can we say about the legend himself Ryan Giggs, He is just the real Man U Legend, the best on the left wing, just a gift from God...Giggs for ever and Man U 4 Life.
Yitagesub from Ethiopia
Giggs is my all time best left attacking midfielder. He is also handsome, brave and intelligent.
Ayinde Bakare from Lagos, Nigeria
Giggs is one of the best and most disciplined performers at Man Utd. He is an inspiration to younger footballers - a hero indeed.
William McCann from Chesterfield
Sir Ryan Giggs for sure, for what he has achieved in the game. So give him the title!
Berihu from Ethiopia
Giggs is star of wingers of forever.
Gizachew Eshete, Ethiopia
Ain't got words to say anything. I think no appreciation can reveal my feelings for the most handsome, brilliant & gifted player of my whole life. United forever!
Hasmani Omar, Langkawi, Malaysia
Ryan Giggs is one of the best and succesful players that MU ever had. He is the real legend of The Old Trafford. May God bless you!
Wayne from Llanharan
He has to be the most loyal, consistant and skilful European player over the last 20 years. A perfect example to all youngsters how a professional sports person should live.
adi from m'sia
He is the best player in the game. He doesnt always get the success he deserves. People talk about the new young players, but Giggs will forever be the best in the world no doubt. Giggsy is the real icon of football & undoubtedly the best left winger the world has ever seen!!!
Koshika Appadu from Mauritius
Ryan Giggs is the best player in the Man United team! He is the best and most successsful football player ever to step onto Old Trafford's famous soil.
Mike Eveleigh, Cardiff
Giggsy is a legend - I'm not a fan of Man Utd but I've got to say Sir Alex Ferguson is the man for keeping him. He's been with Man Utd since he was 9 yrs old, and I'm hoping he will come to Cardiff when he decides to retire, which has been stated he will if Cardiff City get into the premiership :D, Long Live Giggsy
Bui Tuan Anh from Viet Nam
Ryan Giggs is the best left winger in the solar system.
P Mooney from South Africa
What can I say about Ryan? Simply the best left winger in football history. Leadership and raw football talent. He is the reason Man United is still unstoppable. Good on ya Giggsy! Number 11 forever!
Job R Ogutu from Nairobi, Kenya
All hail a true United hero. He is by far the best ever left winger the face of the earth has ever witnessed. He is a natural leader and a big inspiration to many worldwide. He is truly one of the best football players. In spite of his international retirement, I am sure that we will get to see the best of Ryan Giggs in Manchester United!! Go Ryan go!!!
Ernest Misso, Singapore
Ryan Giggs is the real icon of Manchester Unitedand the best left winger in the world. He is one of the best players I have ever seen.
Hamid Reza from Iran
"First always is not the best, but the best is first for all time." He is the best player.
Sylvie from Mombasa, Kenya
Ryan is a legend, my hero. He is everything that real football lovers desire and love to watch. Long life Ryan and keep on playing.
Ryan Matthews, Ebbw Vale
Hi Giggs - I wish I could meet you at Old Trafford. My dream is to be a star player like you for Manchester United and Wales. Please score a awesome goal and a perfect free kick. How are you and the players and the manager? Best wishes.
Sion Jones from Cardiff
I've got 2 words for you. The best. I hope he will stay at Manchester United. He is the best player in Europe. Wales are proud of you Giggsy.
Mandy Kaunan, Nigeria
Mmmnn - which word will I use in describing this young talented guy? He is the Best. Up Man United - One United, Forever We Stand.
Obi from USA
Brilliant. The perfect scenerio: Ryan giggs at full speed with 10 defenders in front of him ... EYE candy!The complete package, I doubt there will ever be another!
Paddy Murphy, Widnes
As a lifelong Man U supporter Ryan is by far the most talented winger ever to wear the Utd shirt. People keep writing him off but he comes back and produces some great performances. Everyone has their off days but on his good days (and there have been many) Ryan Giggs is an outstanding talent.
Gaffer from Toronto, Canada
Number 11, Sir Alex's life line, and a diplomat of "The Game". Thank you for all you do Mr Giggs, thus this wee pint is for you. Cheers!
Maeloc do Rouco from A Corunha
I wish he was a Galician and played for Deportivo. He's certainly one of the best left-wingers EVER ... if not THE BEST in that position over the last 20 years.
Jim, Australia
Absolute legend of the game!! A gentleman on and off the field!! The most under-rated player I have ever seen in my years of following football!! I think people are just jealous of his loyalty, something today's so called superstars dont have!!
Mark Thompson, Abergele
Ryan is one of my heroes, a true Welsh legend :D
Kelly Jones, Shrewsbury, Shropshire
I think Giggs is just unexplainable. I wish I could play like him, he's my dream star. He's the best ever.
Ryan Saunders from Senghenydd
I think Ryan Giggs is the best footballer in Wales ever. He has got a couple more years of football in him - he should move from Manchester United to Liverpool.
Nico D'Hulster, Antwerp, Belgium
Ryan Giggs is the reason I started supporting Manchester United as a kid. I remember myself jumping out of joy when my childhood hero scored his first goal for Wales against my own country, Belgium. I consider myself lucky to have been able to witness the entire career of one of the most exciting players in the history of football. He used to be a hero, now he's a living legend.
Vinay Desai
What can you say about this genius? He is just so hairy when he took his T-shirt off in the Arsnal match. But seriously this guy is better than Ronaldinio, Gerrard, Lampard you name it he is the best. UNTOUCHABLE.........
Mike Good, Cardiff
A credit to Wales, Man Utd and football - a true genius in the same mould as the late, great John Charles. His football skills enhance the skills of the players around him.
Wayne Baigent from Enfield
One of the greatest wingers of all time. I remember being 8 years old and watching him and Man U play on TV. He's one of the reasons I will always be a Manchester United fan. What he's done is amazing - will there ever be another winger like him? I'm also half Welsh so I've supported him for ever! A true living legend!!!!!
Jama
He's one of the best European players. And the best left winger - 4 sure. It's a pity that he's lackin' playing for MU now. I just LOVE him...
Keith from Grimsby
Giggsy is what Man U are all about - flair and attacking play.
Cesar Reyes from San Diego
Ryan Giggs is my idol and I think he is going to break the record of games with Man U.
Arthur Brown late of Cardiff
He is just the best there is at international and the domestic game. All I can say is good on you Ryan.
Mohammed, Peterborough
Ryan Giggs - one of the best wingers ... if Man U didn't have him then they will struggle.
Nellie, Merthyr
In the modern game only two players stand out as one team men, Paulo Maldini and Ryan Giggs. Both players achieved at their clubs phenomenal success. For Giggs to still be a permanent feature in the United line up and still produce top quality performances is testament to his skill and attitude both on and off the pitch. When Giggs finally retires the Premiership will lose the original and possibly its brightest star.
Becky Littlehales, Slough
I love him, the best player ever. I support Reading, but I've always looked up to him and I play for a girls side on the left wing!
Elta, Diah, Indonesia
Great footballer with great attitude and never forgets where he belongs. He is the one of MU's greatest players, and he always keeps his feet on the ground.
Kabiru Bappah from Nigeria
Ryan Giggs - the best ever best left wing that I have seen in my life. He really is a United legend that is unforgettable to any United fan in the globe.
Marco, Serbia
One and only. Ryan Giggs. His game is the real game, all that why we watch football. No diving, no acting, no dirty tackles. Ryan Giggs is the personification of a talent.
Brett from Swansea
Giggsy. A proper pro. None of this diving about. Gets stuck into tackles as that's what he has had to do growing up with Robson, Bruce, Ince, Keane etc. How many miles has he run up and down that left wing? Still class and that has shown as gets older - he has changed his game and become the engine in the middle of midfield. One of the best 12 months for Man U and Wales in your career. Keep playing for many more years. LEGEND!!!
Faiza Giggs from US
Words cannot complete Giggs skills as a soccer player. He is the best that Manchester ever had - he is fast and furious and he knows what he does in the field. I love to see him play it just completes my day without any doubt. Love to Giggs.
Dhiren Desai Lesta
The best - simply.
Viraj N from Bangalore
A true United legend. Hope he breaks Bobby Charlton's record for maximum appearances for Man U.
Hamid Mohammed in Eritrea
He is my favourite player ever, the best winger I have ever seen in my whole life. His goals are stunning!
A Kamara
A superstar with substance.
James from Manchester
Quite simply the greatest ever winger if not the greatest ever footballer to grace English football. Watching Giggsy fly down that left wing makes the hairs on my neck stand on end. I still get tears in my eyes when I see the goal against Arsenal in '99. No goal can rival that, period.
Mohammed from Birmingham
Giggs is the best winger of all time and is a United legend.
Ryan Carr - Wiltshire
Quite simply one the best if not THE best winger to play football. Everything you could ask for in a winger: Speed, balance, poise, God given talent to beat the best defenders in the world. His goal against Arsenal in the 1999 FA cup semi final, the best goal ever scored, period. Should've become United captain after Keane. Who the hell's going to replace him?
Harold Ogden, Lake District
Ryan Wilson, now Giggs, is a credit to Moorside School in Swinton.
Kyle Williams from Aberbargoed
Superb!! Giggs doesn't need to be fancy like Beckham to be good, he has a natural talent and ability for the game. He is still class even though he's 33 now. I hope one day he replaces Sir Alex's shoes, as we all now he deserves it.
Tim Katamba from America
I think Giggs is an extraordinary addition for Manchester. He is infact the main reason I support Manchester.
Rebecca, Cardiff
Well done!!!
I'm so proud to be your cousin!!!
philip from nairobi
simply fabulous
christine morgan, Builth Wells
giggs - the ultimate man - 'nuff said.
Elgan Jones from Abersoch
Giggsy the best player ever without a doubt about it. Keep it going GIGGSY!!!
the understated superstar of football
Ryan giggs is the most successful genius in the history of football. He has won more trophies than anyone else. He has played more games over 650 than 99% of pro players. he's certainly scored more goals than nearly every winger in history.
But to top it all of he is a genius but the most amazing thing is he is NOT a flawed genius. This makes him the most unique footballer britain has ever produced. And yet sadly britain is not yet mature enough to appreciate and regognise him as the greatest and spends far far too much time focusing on idiotic behaviour. as we know he scored the greatest goal ever in the greatest season ever in 1999. But more than anything it will be his loyalty, his phenomenal modesty and yes that indescribable sensation when he just uses his Godly gift to fly with the ball. Personally I think he is even better than Best.
What a welsh wizard.
Anastasya Kononova, Russian Fed., Samara
He's one of the best european players.
And the best left winger - 4 sure.
It's a pity that he's lackin' playing for MU now. I just LOVE him...
Sono Dhillon
Magic Manchester United Thru and Thru giggsy is a Legend!!
James Chivers from Cambridge
Well he is my idol, and I can surely say I am not ashamed to admit it. If it wasn't for him and his talent I wouldn't be a great Manchester United supporter!!
Shakeel
Sharpe, Beckham, Kanchelskis, Park, all of the rest of you forget only one winger - Welsh wizard Giggsy.
Adelle Parker - Telford, Shropshire
Where do I start? Ryan Giggs is, has & will always be such a superb example of an overall great player. His respect & professional, immaculate attitude towards the game & his fellow players is a credit to him. Talented is not the word. Not only does he adore what he does, he is fabulous at what he does generally. What a top bloke! He is not appreciated half as much as he should be & it is about time he gets the FULL recognition he has earnt & deserves. Ryan, Thank You for all the fabulous years you have given me - you are well worth it!
Ravi from Singapore
I have followed Giggs from the time he made his debut. Giggs in full flight on the left wing is one of the most exhilarating sights in football. A clip of that goal against Arsenal is answer to anyone who asks why we follow football. Regretably, he has not received the recognition he deserves and will only be appreciated after he retires.
Nasar from London
Giggs is a perfect role model for all new generations of footballers. Above all I have watched many Utd players at games but Giggs is the only one to takle your breat away when he runs with the ball! A true legend and great footballer!
ann from oldham
he is fantastic the best and bloody gorgeous
Lauren Bennett from Worsley
Ryan Giggs rocks my tiny little world. He deserves so much more than the credit he gets. Forget all the football big timers who are always in the papers. Giggs doesn't need to tell the world how fantastic he is - we are already more than aware of it.
Ned Fisher
What can I say? He is the best player in the game. He doesnt always get the success he deserves. People talk about the new young players, but Giggs will forever be the best in the world no doubt.
Joe O'Callaghan
As quick with the ball as without it, Giggs is the ultimate winger and has been the best in the world in that position for nigh on 15 years!
Does not always get the credit he deserves, often passes now rather than going for glory. I believe he has a better footballing brain now than he had as a youth.
Phil, Manchester
Giggsy is a United legend and one of the best footballers in the world.
Chris J from Devon
What more can you say? A perfect professional. One of the best left wingers in the world and the most exciting player I have ever seen. A true legend.
Ali from Oman
Absoulute legend, one of the greatest players ever in Football but doesn't get the recognition because of him not being part of a 'top' national team which plays at the top events such as the World Cup.
Emma Roberts Llandudno Junction
He is probably the best player I have ever seen.
Lee C, Halifax
Giggs is world class on his day his speed and stamina is immense. He may be passing on but can still perform at his best, as we saw against Chelsea (January 2005).
Martin Mitchell
On his day, he's better than the best. One of the greatest players ever.
Paul Roberts
Quite simply in the same class as Pele and Maradona.
Ffion Howatson Ruthin
Fantastic boyo.
Ali from Cardiff
A true class act.
Alex Thomson
13 years as a professional. A legend. One of the best footballers in the world, ever.
Andrew Walters Doha Qatar (originally Pembrokshire)
A true class player who on a good day can run past even the best of defence. Even though he is getting on a bit, he can still do it for Wales - CYMRU AM BYTH!
Kyle Winney
Ryan giggs is the best and most sucssessfull football player ever to step onto Old Trafford's famous soil. He is exhilarating to watch and an inspiration to all young aspiring football players in the world.
Mick Reilly, Kent
Giggsy is the real icon of football. Forget Beckham and co, Ryan Giggs shows how it's done, the true professional. Someone the kids of the present and future can look up to as the perfect role model. On the field he's even better, a true world class Welsh superstar. A credit to Britain.
Daniel Martin, Eastleigh, Southampton
An amazing exciting player.
Scott Everington from Oldham
Ryan Giggs is one of the greatest players ever to grace a football field. His pace, stamina, technique and skill have had defenders fretting for over a decade and with still more years to come, they can't afford to stop worrying yet. Giggs is an Old Trafford legend, a Wales legend and a true ambassador for football.
Sam Woody from Newport
Everyone used to seem to be having a dig at Giggsy saying he never did any good for Wales when he played for them. He used to be marked out of the game though and now we have a couple more good players who take the heat off Giggs to peform he will start to shine again. The man is a Man Utd hero and he is a Welsh hero, possibly one of the best ever British footballers.
Our most successful modern footballer
