The Welsh winger began his career for United in 1990 and went on to play for a staggering 24 years with the same club, winning numerous honours and accolades. A tricky, rapid quick winger during his time, Giggs is a two-time Champions League winner in 1999 and 2008.

Although Giggs' international career wasn't as impressive as his club exploits, he still made 64 appearances for Wales during his career. Working and learning his trade to become a professional manager, Giggs is currently on the hunt for a job while he continues to do media work for various channels in the meantime.

One of the greats of the Premier League era, Ryan Giggs has won everything there is to win in club football and will go down in history as one of the best wingers of all-time.
