Ryan Giggs Bücher
Ryan Giggs, geboren am 29. November 1973, ist ein walisischer Fußballer, der seine gesamte Vereinskarriere Manchester United gewidmet hat. In den 1990er Jahren etablierte er sich als Linksaußen und behielt diese Position bis in die 2000er Jahre bei, bevor er in eine tiefere playmaker-Rolle wechselte. Giggs hält zahlreiche Fußballrekorde, darunter den des am meisten dekorierten Spielers in der Geschichte des englischen Fußballs. Er ist der erste Spieler, der 11 englische Meistertitel gewonnen hat, und der einzige Spieler, der seit Beginn der Premier League in jeder Saison gespielt und getroffen hat. Seine anhaltende nationale und kontinentale Karriere hat ihn zu einer wahren Legende des Spiels gemacht.

Ryan Giggs first played for Manchester United in the season before the Premiership began; back when Bryan Robson was still captain. He took possession of United's left wing and never loosened his grip. Over a fourteen year career so far, he's seen them all come and go: Cantona, Schmeichel, Beckham and the rest. Sir Alex Ferguson said of Giggs 'I knew we had an outstanding talent when we gave him his debut.' That was back in 1991, but it remains as true in 2005 as it ever was. Giggs has been a pivotal figure in United's dominance of the Premiership. There have been rivals but no other team can match their sustained record of success over recent years. And Giggs is the only player to have played in all eight of those title winning campaigns. Off the pitch, Ryan Giggs has always closely guarded his private life. But here he opens up for the first time, sharing details of the sometimes turbulent childhood that shaped him and the relationships that have mattered to him to reveal the man behind the famous number 11 red shirt. One thing seems clear: the Old Trafford crowd will be singing 'Giggs will tear you apart again!' for a few years yet.
