5 Premier League records set by Ryan Giggs that might never be broken

#4 Most Premier League seasons played in

Ryan Giggs made his first appearance in the Premier League in the league's debut season in 1992/93. Since then, Giggs featured in every season until his retirement at the end of the 2013/14 season.

Giggs appeared 41 times in the first season of the Premier League. From there, the Welshman has appeared in more than 20 games in every season until his last, when he appeared just 12 times in the Premier League and 22 times in total. In that time, Giggs mostly played as the fearless left winger who made left footed amateurs all around the world dream of glory. He did occasionally appear on the right-hand side, but it was as a left winger that Giggs tore apart the opposition.

As age caught up with him in the later stages of his career and having lost a significant bit of his pace, he remodelled himself as a central midfielder and was used magnificently by Sir Alex. When he hung up his boots, Giggs had appeared in 22 seasons in the Premier League and it is a record, one can safely assume, that might never be broken.
