An appreciation of Ryan Giggs

As the football season draws to a close, it is time for the Barnet Eye to declare it's player of the year. We will officially announce this prestigious award next week, but we will look at the possible candidates in the run up. Unlike many player of the year awards, here at the Barnet Eye, we actually wait until the end of the season, but there is no harm in looking at the candidates. First up, we have (shock and horror) - none other than Ryan Giggs, Manchester United perennial winger.

At the ripe old age of 37, Mr Giggs has had a sublime system, being United's most consistent performer. His performances away from home have been especially eye catching, winning him a whole new set of admirers across the globe. Some have attributed Ryan Giggs extended career to his practise of yoga. Mr Giggs has not said what his favourite yoga position is. Rumour has it that he's very adept at "The Downward Dog".

Others have suggested that his happy home life may have helped keep him out of the troubles which have affected many of his contemporaries. Mr Giggs retired from international football in 2007. Many of his fellow countrymen have missed the sight of him, banging them in and would love to see him come home and score a few more times before he retires.

As a Manchester City fan, many of my readers of the Barnet Eye may be suprised to see Ryan Giggs nominated for our Player of the Year award. You'd be wrong. Ryan Giggs behaviour, loyalty and honesty exemplifies everything which Manchester City fans love about Manchester United and hope that he carries on entertaining us for many years to come.
