Ryan Giggs Libri
Ryan Giggs, nato il 29 novembre 1973, è un calciatore gallese che ha dedicato la sua intera carriera di club al Manchester United. Si è affermato come ala sinistra negli anni '90, continuando in questo ruolo fino agli anni 2000 prima di passare a un ruolo più profondo di playmaker. Giggs detiene numerosi record calcistici, incluso quello di giocatore più decorato nella storia del calcio inglese. È il primo giocatore a vincere 11 titoli di campionato inglese di massima serie e l'unico giocatore ad aver partecipato e segnato in ogni singola stagione della Premier League dalla sua nascita. La sua duratura carriera nazionale e continentale lo ha consacrato come una vera leggenda del gioco.

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.
