Ryan Giggs has today been named the winner of the Golden Boot award, which is recognition given to players over the age of 29 who are selected by journalists from all over the world and voted for by fans.
“It’s a great honour to win such an award and to have my footprints alongside some of the greatest football players is a real privilege,” said Giggs. “I have been fortunate to play alongside great players, play for the greatest manager and play for the best club in the world. At the moment I am still enjoying my football so I have not thought about what I will do when I finish, but if it all finished tomorrow I could say that I have had a fantastic career and wouldn’t swap it with anybody.”
The other nominations for the 2011 award were Gianluigi Buffon, Iker Casillas, Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto’o, Carles Puyol, Raul, Xavi and Javier Zanetti.
Giggs has been nominated for this award six times before and has finally earned the right to have his footprint on Monaco’s Champions Promenade ‘Walk of Fame’ alongside that of Francesco Totti (2010), Ronaldinho (2009), Roberto Carlos (2008), Alessandro Del Piero (2007), Ronaldo (2006), Andriy Shevchenko (2005), Pavel Nedvěd (2004) and Roberto Baggio (2003).

Keep on tearing them apart

Well done Ryan!
Now Giggsy can really put his foot in it.
And following the news, United have purchased several acres to house new trophy rooms and other facilites.

Couple of hotels will insure that wastelands expansion is a financial loss!
Future is bright.
Congrats to Sir Ryan Giggs – Tearing you apart since 1991
Ah Fletch you should have written it like this:
Breaking News:
Manchester United pay 8.2 million to sign World Class land
World Class land honoured to become a part of Manchester United!
Sir Alex: I had been keeping an eye out for a long time – no doubt about that – it’s going to be a brilliant deal for the club!
David Gill – We pride ourselves at recognising the best and this is a unique opportunity for the club to firmly establish ourselves as the worlds biggest club TM
Sir Bobby Charlton: I’m so pleased that World Class land chose Manchester United – it will be a perfect match and given that it’s close to OT I’m sure the club will give World Class land the help it deserves to reach it’s potential.
Wayne Rooney: The club is showing ambition and I cannot wait to welcome World Class land to Manchester United (that was for Costas
giggs,father of the year
@FletchTHEMAN:
nice link mate,
really love to read some comments from jealous bitters too! Hahaha! Deluded bitter fools!
T4M wtf?
Good luck Ryan and may justice be served some stiff competition you are up against.
I just hope you win the Golden Slipper and you can go to the ball, just remind yourself mate yer fucking no Cinderella and you have responsibilities no to be trying on any old tarts shoe.
I see a Winter collection in the offing at Jimmy Shoo, for the one legged big issue seller, just knick off the stand ootside the store and hoppit away!
Good luck Ryan, you deserve it mate.
Any of you lads who read MEN should place a vote to support our striker.
MEN taking it’s usual cheap shot in a poll asking if Roo should be selected for England.
Jaysus wept.
http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/sport/
Braveheart is that the real you or someone pretending to be you?
@fletch:
sorry mate, wont bothered to read, let alone vote for that piece of shit..
ANNA – Becks isn’t in the same league as Giggs and the other players who have won it.
T4M – Is that a dig?
To be honest, I sort of expected this. This is going to be Giggs’ last shot at landing the Golden Foot, therefore I expected everyone to vote for him. So glad that he got it, absolutely deserved for the 2 decades he has given us. The best footballer over 30 was Xavi but he is still too close to 30. At 38, there is no way Ryan should have the influence he is having at United. Even this season he has 3 assists and 2 goals in his appearances. I think that is more than all the Arsenal and Liverpool XI combined (Not checked the facts obv.)
It still amazes me when I see our first title videos with goals from Brucey, Ince and that lot and then see the present lot – The common denominators have been Sir Alex and Giggs. Amazing footballer and exemplary professional is our Ryan Giggs.
@MG, WHAT ……the fuck…..What? Aye its me, ma old fespian shakespearing mate MG.Can you not recognise the erratic shpelling and typos(some deliberate) to cause confusion.
I hope yer well mate, and your lovely Doctor wife and youngster, and most important staying out of trouble on ROM, although this weekend will be tricky on the net and the forums with Liverfail our next scalp.
Always in shaging form.
Nice one Giggsy!
Where’s Bill Knob?
I hope my old mucker and windup merchant Costas is well and studying well, he may well be bankrupt and ruptured, laying in the gutters of Athens like some old tramp, but i still think of him and his crystal balls and memory for facts and details like a human data base.FFS I still use an abacus, and its minus one ball on one pole!
I rubbed my lamp and poof here he appears….. majik I say. lmao
@RedScot
Haha, all’s well mate. Not bankrupt yet, but pretty close to it. Oh well. Money is overrated anyway. There are other joys in life that are more fulfilling. Like RedNev planting one on Scholes for example.
Hope you are well too and as close to the booze as always, lol.
Where’s Bill Knob? I typed to Willie ma m8 fae Niron the other day, I was a bit leathered, thats no who you mean right?
Jaysus I think I might be in the wrong forum looking for “Bill Knob”.I suppose it might be a loose request for a search of door knockers for some up market gaff used bye nutty Swedish gentry.
Anyhow back on the mainframe topic, Ryan is not destined to recieve this accolade, you and i both know he will be overlooked for his recent “human” errors.Not a realistic recognotion of his one club service and providing milliuons of fans throughout the world fabulous skill and the consamate professional on the field to watch in awa.Remember simply Arsenal and the mazy dribble and the pleasure we all felt.I vote for a hairy rug, both sides preference.
@ Costas, glad you are good and not corrupt! yikes thats a error(Fruedian).I know what you mean Red Nev, he is becoming a bit of a gob on sky, i love him, I just wish he would tone it down a bit, its not the United way toi be so …..well outspoken, he needs to spend more time with Scholesy, and learn to laugh inside at the stupidity, step back think and play your cards right as Brucie said, or thon other twat.Cmon down…………..NO! LOL
I dont know what you mean booze, share an Ouzo with yeah, yel water mines down, beware of Greeks bearing gifts other than Kehbabs and Souvalaki. lol
Cheers m8, Aforisto Poli
RedScots back – my life as of Monday evening is whole
I knew it was you RedScot – all the other pretenders just haven’t got it like the original has
Everyone is very well my dear Scot – thank you for asking
Yep better stay ultra cool this weekend after all now we go back to Anfailed with one more trophy than them
19
Well done giggsy is the LORD’S DOING UNITED 4 LIVE.
Hi MG, Buddy the only time we nearly fell out and you had the grace to pass it bye when about a year ago we were debating the Glazer.I think i might have got the issue here wrong, although on checking the evidence, not the financials, simply the money lost on servicing Uniteds debt they laboured the club with, nothing changes.Its a magnificent self attracting club the more you read and understand the heritage and history as you well know and were documenting. which I have not read to date!
Anyway I ramble on like (Led Zeppelin) lol
I dont think i can stay cool m8 while watching the match, my memories will always drift back to Stevie Starfish …pass back to Dogbreathe, Carragher laming my still United favourite player Nani, its to much not to feel hate.We have not won there in is it 6 years?
We must this time, if I see Kenny Gogleash rolling his tongue like a rabid maniac frothing dog, like he does it sends me mental
RedScot
I’d never fall out with you – never –
Close wasn’t close enough never will be…
I do enjoy people who say they never fall out with me on the net…..To me it means a realist aka in the real world.Its hardly as you can hurt me is it, or cane me or insult me, if words insult me…..?FFs lmao
It just encourages me, profanity or oddity! lmao
Mind you MG IN fairness, on some dating sites i have met up with people who have not as been as nice as you to date! lmao…..Just asking any chance of a shag?
BRB……I have a live one on my Raspberry
you like ass kissers then Redscot…… hee hee….. I go off for a couple of days and all the ‘old’ uns come back on here…
what oh Holmes…..
@MG you have a new fiend! with smileys as an additional attraction.Next it will be candy floss and toffee apples.
Redscot…MG only offers them on the second date….
WELL DONE SIR RYAN!!! Keep ripping defenders a new hole forever. We love you and appreciate your loyalty. Giggsy do me a favour and go after that cunt carragher on saturday. that would be very much appreciated.
@ Tony bee, ohh fuck off yeah auld cunt…..slaughter me yeah old bugger.
How are yeah doing yeah old bastard United supporter dooon in the Cotswolds, I am just back fae getting mae ass tanned in France for 5 months as I told sorta WillieRed.It was funny as fuck all the time, I thought I was arriving for a model shoot with clothes and beach footwear.It turned out to be a gay model shoot.I thought ….. ok I can do this, squirt a few gobs of joop over Moi! lmao.
It was fabulous fun in the end, well the final, oppsie the embarkaction.The end.
It was a fucking laugh.
I must grow up and go dancing on the stage in Landin, to really hit the big time. lol
oh avec moi…..merci fucking boocoos ….Redscots gone gay …be doing gay porno next…..hahahahah
nice to see you remember your old mates when you off sunning yourself…..calling me an auld cunt….
just how many of them gay models shot their joop over you….. hope you got well paid for it….
The point being I am a nothing, rightly so, I have done nothing, achieved nothing other my own personal aims, to laugh to enjoy my short life.Ryan has done the same, he does not deserve to be under the microscope, he is not you or your sons or daughters role models…..you are!…..You coach them not Ryan.Base your choice of player on who you have enjoyed watching and who has provided the biggest pleasure for you, not hairy chests….yikes!
Fuck off Tony, you dont know cologne and honey? lmao
RedScot
A Shag?
I’ll have to pass being a man of the female species
Evening Watson
Even in the company of such great players who’ve won this, there are many ways in which Ryan Giggs stands out. A true great.
@MG WE all know dont we dear, that tony will shove his member in and and out of a greasy milk bottle as he watches Ryan Giggs score against the Arse.Dinnae remind him…. the cream always floats to the to…..even on skimmed milk
@Daniel….. flying away bin a plane…… ohhh daniel lol.Resisisting the rest who would you choose for the Slipper?
Guardian say StevieStarfish Gerrard will be available for the game.
Be a laugh if beat them at home then.
ComeOn you Reds! Get IN!!

Maybe not MUFC but another MLS player to the PL!

@RedScot What are you on about? I find your attempts at being funny in here very strange. If you are currently under the influence of alcoholic beverage or other psychoactive drugs then your behaviour is, of course, excused.
Yer fucking right this comes round once a year, our biggest and most hated challengers and closest! lol.we go into the game in a confused defensive form, without the club captain.
I wont rabble on you all know the score, you gotta shout louder here than most away grounds.Recall Abulances and the history of what they did? I would like to give a heart felt thought to those that meant no harm on that dreadfull day at Hillsborough.
God Bless Alan Smith, yel never walk alone, out of Analfield
Daniel… dont relate to moi…. simple
BRB…awa fer a shite. its a real life caller
congrats Giggsy…
Clean your bottom RedScot lol.
Well done Ryan lad.
Red scot. Alright pal. No its not six years. We won there in 07/08.
Hay Willie i have had a braw night, cant stop laughing and takin the piss on forums.iTS LIKE when King Eric he makes me laugh and knowledable, and you and costas and mg thon twat fae the cotswolds, that buries his face in a fanny.
i defy you all wipe ma sliver clean
I feel quite gay… only with a 9 inch cok
Speaking of Gay – (old Gay ie what it used to mean not some silver haired John Inman type). Haha Inman. Don’t these look like a happy bunch of reds. A blast from the past – or maybe not.

@ XOL, YOU ARE RELEASED, AMERE£60 .. MILLION
I just felt as though do, all would go furry. minimal detail
Well done Giggsy. Did Prince Albert of Monaco ask you for your autograph? Apparently they have footprints in the pavement like in Holyrood where all the famous stars are. The Gossip papers thing must have got to him towards the end of last season, yet he still set up Rooney nicely for that goal.
£60m? Hargreaves got away scot free!
Giggsy! Fresh Prints of Monaco!
Will(ierednut) Smith will be so proud!
Redscot. Beaching it for the summer? Thought you might be in trouble for lobbying ‘them’ . Locked away in Tampa, midnight express style. Have you been keeping up with andersred – hes been busy lately and has produced some charts with numbers, lines, graphs, pretty colours and everything.
How about

Good golly miss Molly!
In tonight’s news: All the toilets in Liverpool have been stolen, police have nothing to go on.
YESS THE DAY HAS COME. HAPPY 74TH BIRTHDAY SIR BOBBY CHARLTON. WE LOVE YOU. LEGEND. we are gonna win that game at shitfield for you.
Great to see Giggs alongside the truly great players where he belongs.
I’m astounded that someone got Platini’s feet in concrete but let him out before the boat was brought around.
Some similar walkway on our new patch of ground might be a tourist attraction. We could have players dicks in the concrete. Swordsmen of the Century?
hahahahah @ tevez nutter

Hi all,happy b day sir bob and many more yrs of continued success to u and urs.also, to sir giggs,ur the goat (greatest of all time).hope I didn’t get ur goat there.though we all know ur virility is on par with the mountain goat.to all,I can never forget that sexy,sublime,astute and accurate cross frm clevs for welbz goal against the spuds.it was at that moment that I confirmed we had the best natural No.9 and No.10 link-up in England.I can understand what welbz means when he says they understand each other.now ahead to become the best in Europe!GGMU!!!
@daemondada: so giggs is not just ‘goat in an united shirt ‘, he is the ‘goat’ all around the world
Good morning ROM,
congrats to the ever green Sir Ryan Giggs.. Legend is an understatement
@ kiccha
sir giggs was lucky to have played for Wales and not Ingurlund cos he would have bn held responsible for ingurlund not having won squat as a result of his wasting of his ‘energies’ on the fairer sex rather than on their not all that NT.
Fuck off Irani you plastic cunt. Anyone else listen to this prick this morning? They were talking about some bullshit rumours that the Virus were after Hernandez for €30. Irani was on about a possibly swap for Benzema. Fuckin idiot. They should ban that cunt from OT. Fans like him make me cringe. Thinks he knows football I wish they fucked him off. Bring back Parry at least he knew he was taking shit
Good job! Manchester United.
Whatever makes ppl think they can penetrate d workings of saf’s mental mind?haven’t they found out that time and again he keeps pulling off disappearing acts ando producing rabbits out of d hats on them?well,needs must and stories must b told-papers sold.
Tearing them apart!
20
Still in shagging form! LMAO!
What has Drogba done to be in that list of nominees?
Rai – he is not the only terrible supposed united supporter on there, goldstein is a grade A wanker as wel, they all think they know football but most on here can do a better job.
Samuel – Yeah I think the station has gone downhill over the last few years. Andy Gray is another cunt on there. He never gives an opinion he just goes around in circles (Lou Macari are you listening)
Rai – Hello mate. Don’t get me started on that fucking cunt Irani. Plastic cunt. I hate him Calls himself a Red then proceeds to slag United off with his fat bloated alky mate Brazil. They even wheel him out on MUTV where he acts the top red . Two faced cunt. Stick to cricket Ron. Yeah lets swap Hernandez for a fucking nonce. Prick. How is the young girl my friend?
Yeah Goldstein is another. Fucking cockney wanker. Parry was quality.
KE – She’s good mate cheers. Not long to go for your little red to arrive too!! Hope the Mrs is well.
Irani is an embarrassment. He’s everything that’s wrong with some football fans and unfortunately he’s now associated with United. Can’t believe MUTV give him the time of day. I know he works for Sky but they should try and get Nev on there whenever they can….the channel needs some proper opinions instead of sitting on the fence. Paddy is the only good thing about that channel lately.
Well done Sir Ryan! enternaly proud and grateful to you
Here’s something on Rooney’s troubled times and the impending trips to Merseyside, the lad couldn’t have timed it worse!

Congrats Legend Mr giggs.Keep it up and don’t retire.
