So he should hit about 915 by the season end assuming we make the semi of the Europa Cup. 2 more seasons takes him to 1000. I can see him doing it.
Im 6 months older than Riggsy and so feel like I have grown up with him. I feel flush sprinting 100m and Im still fit and trim as I do gym work and keep fit. I have no idea how his body can still maintain such levels of fitness and protect itself from wear and tear.
If anything, his injury problems have significantly receded as every year has passed. I remember in his early years, he would miss at least 10-15 games a year with pulled muscles as hamstrings as he was as finely tuned as a F1 ferrari. But in recent years, his injury problems seems to have disappeared.
We are going to have to invent some new superlatives/words to acclaim him because there exists no word in the English language right now that does his career justice. In fact, why don't we do that and then lobby for it to be included as a new word for the Oxford English Dictionary?? Phrases like 'squeaky bum time' , 'Fergie Time' and words such as 'bouncebackability' have all entered the English lexicon .... I think we should have a go -
what say you Mods???? Open a new thread and have suggestions, then have a poll for the best idea's, then keep using it and apply to the Oxford Dictionary for inclusion. its very doable!
