#1 Ryan Giggs- 162 assists in 632 appearances
Ryan Giggs, the most decorated player in the league’s history holds the record for most assists provided, with a whopping 162 assists in 632 appearances, a dominating lead of 60 assists over his closest rival Frank Lampard. The fleet-footed winger spent his entire footballing career at the Old Trafford, giving his oppositions nightmares with his deft displays.
After having made his debut in the 1990-91 season, Giggs established himself as one of the first players on the team list in the subsequent season and never looked back thereafter, winning trophies and accolades galore.
The Welshman played a critical role under the aegis of Sir Alex Fergusson and helped his side achieve footballing supremacy in England by knocking Liverpool off the perch. His blistering pace, dribbling ability and ability to find teammates in critical areas with a phenomenal passing range made him a treat to watch, with even fans of arch rival clubs hoping they had a player of Giggs calibre in their midst.
With neither of the players in the current top 5 assists providers of all times even close to the record of Ryan Giggs, we perceive it would take an inhuman ability and consistency to break the record of the legendary Welshman.
