Ryan Giggs Knihy
Ryan Giggs, narozený 29. listopadu 1973, je velšský fotbalista, který zasvětil celou svou klubovou kariéru Manchesteru United. V 90. letech se etabloval jako levý křídelní hráč a tuto pozici si udržel i v prvních letech 21. století, přičemž v pozdější fázi kariéry působil v hlubší tvůrčí roli. Giggs drží řadu fotbalových rekordů, včetně titulu nejdekorovanějšího hráče v historii anglického fotbalu. Je prvním hráčem, který nasbíral 11 titulů mistra Anglie v nejvyšší soutěži a jediným, kdo hrál a skóroval v každé sezóně Premier League od jejího vzniku. Jeho dlouhá domácí i kontinentální kariéra z něj činí legendu, která zanechala nesmazatelnou stopu ve světě fotbalu.

Ryan Giggs first played for Manchester United in the season before the Premiership began; back when Bryan Robson was still captain. He took possession of United's left wing and never loosened his grip. Over a fourteen year career so far, he's seen them all come and go: Cantona, Schmeichel, Beckham and the rest. Sir Alex Ferguson said of Giggs 'I knew we had an outstanding talent when we gave him his debut.' That was back in 1991, but it remains as true in 2005 as it ever was. Giggs has been a pivotal figure in United's dominance of the Premiership. There have been rivals but no other team can match their sustained record of success over recent years. And Giggs is the only player to have played in all eight of those title winning campaigns. Off the pitch, Ryan Giggs has always closely guarded his private life. But here he opens up for the first time, sharing details of the sometimes turbulent childhood that shaped him and the relationships that have mattered to him to reveal the man behind the famous number 11 red shirt. One thing seems clear: the Old Trafford crowd will be singing 'Giggs will tear you apart again!' for a few years yet.
