In what has been one of the most glittered soccer careers of all time, Ryan Giggs was named this seasons PFA player of the year for the first time. Giggs has been at Manchester United for 17 seasons, winning 10 Premier League titles and 2 Champions League titles to name a few. This season has only seen Giggs on the starting sheet 12 games times. Many will see this accolade as an award handed to Gigg's for his service to the Premier League, but in all honesty, it is also a deserved award for his performances this season. Instead of playing out wide on the left, Giggs has been employed as a stalewarth in the center of United's midfield. Ferguson has used him to full effect, and when needed Giggs has stepped upto the plate, putting in experienced performances.
After receiving the award, Giggs praised Alex Ferguson, who has been his only coach at Manchester United. ''The manager has been massive in my career from when I first met him when I was 13, that's over 20 years and he knows me better than anyone and our relationship has been brilliant and just gets better" Giggs stated. Manchester United host Arsenal in the first leg of the Champions League semi final on wednesday, with Giggs relishing the opportunity to be involved, "These are the games you want to be involved in. They don't come bigger than that - a Champions League semi-final at Old Trafford. I can't wait." If Giggs is selected he will be making an astonishing 800th appearance for the Red Devils. The game can be seen LIVE online on ESPN360.
