In his autobiography, Sir Alex Ferguson sums up the quiet greatness that made Ryan Giggs first among equals in Manchester United’s famous Class of ’92.
‘He is a reserved kind of guy but, of all that bunch, he was the one they looked up to,’ wrote Ferguson. ‘He was the king, the man.’
Giggs was the one who had it all. More than Gary Neville, his brother Phil, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and even David Beckham.
The most decorated player in the history of English football with 34 honours for United, including an astonishing 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League winner’s medals.
