Ryan Giggs has won the Premier League a record 13 times, the most in the history of the league. He was a part of every title-winning Manchester United team till his retirement. Next on the list is his compatriot and fellow United legend Paul Scholes, who has won it 11 times. The list is dominated by United players - of the 20 players who have won the Premier League 5 times or more, 19 represented Manchester United, with Chelsea's John Terry the odd man out!

Giggs won the Premier League back to back in the 1992/93 and 1993/94 seasons and then again in the 1995/96 and 1996/97 seasons. After missing out the following year, he won it for 3 consecutive seasons, before United went 3 years without winning the league.

Giggs lifted the trophy again in the 2006/07 season and then repeated the feat in the 2007/08 and 2008/09 seasons. He finished as he had started, by winning the title back to back in the 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons. Incidentally, that last win was also the last time Manchester United won the league.

The only active player who has won the league more than 3 times is Arsenal keeper Petr Cech, who won the title 4 times with Chelsea. While it is absolutely impossible that the Czech International will come within touching distance of Giggs, it is hard to imagine anyone winning the Premier League 13 times again in this lifetime. As such, this record shall stay safe with Giggs, a fitting tribute to the player who has served the League brilliantly over the years.
