Chris Hoy didn't get caught fecking his brother's wife. As great as Giggsy is, he ruined any chance of a knighthood when he failed to keep his dick in his pants.
Ryan Giggs - 900
- Thread starter KM
- Start date
Yep such a shame. Beckham is a shoe in for one eventually. Scholes getting one would be awesome but I can't see it. Giggs though is just not gonna happen.
I love Ryan Giggs. In every single way.
Never understood the fuss about being knighted. After the kind of career he's had and the things he's won, I doubt he'd care too much about not being knighted for whatever reason. There are many absolutely incredible sportsmen who havent been knighted and quite a few not as good as them who have been, nothing to lose sleep over and certainly not in any way an indicator of how great a sportsman has been.
To me, it's like getting your Phd. Obviously, that's not the best example but it takes a while to get to that point and once you've reached it, it's nice to be given the appropriate title as well as being approached in that manner ('Dr.' instead of 'Mr.')
In honor of his great achievements I thought I'd post this youtube vid of Ryan Giggs (Wilson) playing for Salford Boys very early in his career. I guess most people have seen it tbh but if you haven't it's the earliest vid I could find. I think there might be one of him playing for Deans Road somewhere?..anyway here yer go 
Plenty of people who've had affairs have been knighted.
He deserves a knighthood for service to sport. I don't see how him servicing other women is related.
Sir Ian Botham? Renowned shagger and smoker of weed. I think he got his for the charity work he does though, not the cricket.
Not arsed whether Giggs gets one but why on earth Chris Hoy has one is beyond me. A gold medal in a boring minority sport, yet Daley Thompson who has TWO golds in the Decathlon doesn't?

What a football player. A complete freak of nature.
Does Botham like a blunt? My respect increases.
He used to. Him and Viv Richards used to share a flat when they played for Somerset. You can imagine what that was like....
I think Daley more or less chucked his away when he whistled through the national anthem on the medal podium, and then started all the japes about the Duchess of York iirc...

The knighting system is flawed though and quite inconsistent, unlike the Phd where one can actually earn the title. Thats my point about it not really being much of a concern for someone as successful as giggsy.
Not to mention the people who knight them.
Pffft if mick 'yes vicar id love some bolivian marching powder' jagger can have one Giggsy should get three.
Ryan giggs ryan giggs running down the wing...
Only two behind Paolo Maldini's 902 appearances (in 25 seasons) for Milan. Wow.

Yeah I heard that too, cringeworthy or what!@6:30 - "I'd rather be playing at Anfield"
Incredible player. I can't believe he's still going.
Yes I can - "I don't like cricket, oh no! I love it." All hours of the night.
Mr. Incredible. Fittingly, got us the winning goal.
Has surpassed Maldini in every possible way imho, no matter that Maldini has won more CL winners medals (to date).
And Maldini played in defence, a easier position than playing anywhere across the front 6 as well as a few games at left back in his career thus far.
Amazing, amazing man. He's like a vintage wine, he seems to just get older with age.
Hah, didn't catch that it said older, first time around.
I celebrated that goal so hard i hurt myself! One of the rare athletes that's worth every penny he makes, I hope he's still here when he's 41.
Well technically he does, I mean don't we all; but you know what I mean!
I keep making that mistake
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!

wonder if he will ever reach 1,000 appearances.
...we can all dream.

I've uploaded the pictures from the video/slideshow if anyone's interested - Giggsy - Minus
Good point. If anything, it'd be a nice honor.
Imogen would have wet her pants.
100 appearances? IMO a case of 2 and half seasons. Possible.
1000 looks very unlikely. closer to 950-960 i believe is where he'd finish.
To be honest, it would more glorious and iconic if he lifts another European Cup. Given the mentality Fergie instills, those are the kind of aims i.e another CL, 20th league title etc that Fergie would have him look forward to rather than appearances.
Bit harsh on Maldini, that. He was one of the best defenders for years and years in a league with the best defences in the world. There's very little to choose between them.
Can see him getting to 1000 no problem, I still think he's got a season or two at left back in him!
he'll become player manager when he's 40, mostly keeping goal in the league and FA cup games
