Ryan Giggs

Ryan Giggs is a Welsh professional footballer who currently plays for Manchester United. Giggs began his career at Manchester United following a short stint at Manchester City's youth centre between the ages of 12 and 14. He was quickly signed by Manchester United and made his league debut for the club in 1991 and became a first team regular in the following season. Giggs has remained fiercely loyal to United, staying at the club for his entire career and is the only player to have played and scored in every season of the Premier League since its inception. Although the England under-21 coach at the time, Kawrie McMenemy, tried to select him after he had captained England Schoolboys, Giggs has no English grand-parents and consequently plays for Wales. He has earned 64 caps in his career and retired from international football in 2007.
