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

#2 Most Premier League seasons scored in

Ryan Giggs has the record of scoring in the first 21 seasons of the Premier League. It is a feat that no other player has achieved and this alone shows what a true Premier League great the Welshman is. While he appeared in 22 seasons in the League, he unfortunately could not find the back of the net in his last season, 2013/14, from his 12 appearances. Nevertheless, this is a record of grandiloquent proportions that will last the test of time.

In his first season in the newly started Premier League, Giggs scored 9 goals from 41 appearances. He followed it up with 13 goals in the following season, which is also his highest goalscoring return in the Premier League, in his career. Giggs crossed the 10 goal barrier in the league, just one more time, the 1995/96 season, where he scored 11 goals. The Welshman went on to score 109 goals from 632 games in the Premier League.

Giggs came dangerously close to losing his record as early as the 3rd season of the Premier League. In the 94/95 season, the Welshman appeared 29 times in the Premier League and scored just 1 goal. However, he did go on to score in 21 seasons in the Premier League, a feat that will perhaps never be repeated again.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two.
