#1 Ryan Giggs
At the end of the day, football is a team sport and nothing matters more than the trophies which you hold high above your head after a gruelling season. No player in the history of English football has won more trophies than Ryan Giggs, and it is nearly impossible that anyone else will ever win as many titles as the legendary Manchester United player.
With 13 league titles, no non-Manchester United player even comes close to Giggs' trophy tally. If you were to combine all the Premier League titles won by the other four players in this list, the total is 10 - three less than the former Welsh international. Giggs may not be the best player to play in the history of this competition, but his legacy as a winner and competitor will forever overshadow anyone else's in England's top flight.
This is not to say that Giggs as a player was bad; he is one of the greatest to ever do it in England. The winger is the only player to score in 21 separate seasons in the league and holds the record for most assists in the league with 162. He is also the only player to have played in the first 22 seasons of the Premier League, as well as being the first player in history to win two consecutive PFA Young Player of the Year awards (1992 and 1993).
A technically gifted wide player with great vision, Giggs at his peak was one of the best players in the world. He has scored some legendary goals for Manchester United and is one of the major reasons why the club is considered one of the biggest in the world today. His pace, dribbling, and finishing made Giggs a headache for all defenders, and his longevity and consistency is matched by perhaps no other player in football history; let alone English football.
Due to his achievements in the Premier League and the numerous records which he will hold for a long time, Ryan Giggs should be the first-ever inductee into the Premier League Hall of Fame.
