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

#3 Most Premier League assists

Blackburn Rovers v Manchester United - Premier League

Ryan Giggs has recorded the most assists in the history of the Premier League so far, registering 162. Next up on the list is Cesc Fabregas, who is also the nearest active player, with 111 assists. But the Spaniard is not playing regularly at Chelsea and it is highly unlikely that he will come within touching distance of the record.

The next active player on the list is James Milner of Liverpool, who is on 80, followed by David Silva at 77. However, even though Silva has been magnificent, the Spaniard is running out of time and reaching 162 might be out of the realms of possibility, even for his abilities. Surprisingly, Manchester United's Ashley Young is the next active player on the list, at 13th position, with 68 assists to his name.

As such, this is one record that might stay with Ryan Giggs for a long, long time and it would take a genius of the highest qualities to break this one.
