The former Manchester United player is a product of the famous Class of 92. Giggs' was a one-club player throughout his career, spending his entire club career with the Red Devils. In the process, he won the Premier League a record 13 times, the UEFA Champions League twice, the FA Cup four times and the UEFA Super Cup once.
Ryan Giggs ends his Manchester United career having won a major trophy every 27.5 games. Unbelievable Jeff. http://t.co/2DxdZyfVPF
Both Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo were a delight to watch when they played together on either wing. With the Welshman now retired, Cristiano Ronaldo surely has the chance to beat him or at least come on level terms when it comes to the number of trophies.
