erm button won a world champ in an event where only 3 or 4 people have got the car to win in any given year. And didnt he win as part of a team of 1000?
|
|
By:
prior to this he was winless for 100 odd grand prix's --- At least Giggs has done it time and time again and doesnt have to rely on technology to help him out

Loving this article in tomorrow's Mirror - yet more positive coverage for our hero....
http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/opinion/columnists/brian-reade/Why-Ryan-Giggs-has-the-X-factor-to-pull-off-a-shock-and-be-crowned-BBC-Sports-Personality-of-the-Year-article253339.html This bit in particular A modest man who, as a youngster, was given the chance to swap his Wales shirt for an England one, and see his global profile rocket, but refused to, out of loyalty. The same loyalty that has kept him at one club for 19 years. this made me smile as well: A vote for Giggs is a vote against the Ashley Coles of this world. Meaning Cheryl's little crooner, Joe, might win X-Factor tomorrow night, while her little whiner loses on the other side. And that, in itself, is a good enough reason to wish Giggs well. |

Man U have chosen today to announce that Giggs is to be offered a new contract - interesting timing. It ensures that Giggs is making the headlines at the right time and gives a platform for coverage such as this in the Telegraph:
[i]Giggs, who has been shortlisted for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Award, will take his first-team service at Old Trafford to the 20-year mark. But with momentum building behind Giggss prospects of winning the prestigious BBC award, Ferguson insists that the Welshman would be a perfect recipient. He said: |

headline grabbing performance today would be nice.

Double page spread in The Sun today for Giggs re SPOTY. Fergie saying that he should win it etc

Could be headline grabbing! - 1-0 down as I write!

Giggs needs a goal or three.

The same loyalty that has kept him at one club for 19 years. He couldn't play for England as he was born in Wales and had 4 Welsh grandparents. However he did play for the English Schools team as their qualifying rules are not as strict. In fact anyone who goes to school in England qualifies. |

Giggs will not win. I haven't read one post which explains why he deserves to win an award which includes 'personality and 2009'.
He was 16-1 before the renowned, often broke, 'journalist' , Steve Palmer tipped him in the Racing Post. The gullible led by the irresponsible. |

By:
So many poor souls blinded by the title.
A popularity contest where the one eyed man can be king ;) |

-- Indeed. Same reason why Michael Owen played for Welsh schoolboys. Like myself he was born in the nearest maturnity hospital in Chester despite his parents living in Wales. |

In fact anyone who goes to school in England qualifies. As far as I was concerned he chose to play for Wales, thanks for putting me right, perhaps you'd let the rest of the voters know as well. |

"And that longevity offers the biggest clue as to why Giggs inspires more respect than hostility from non-Man United fans. Because he is literally a throw-back to the days before the Sky Super Sunday Premier League, when money had yet to skew the values and turn the heads of the luckiest working-class men ever born."
It's a good point, from the mirror article today - while we often hate opposing players, Giggs never seems to fall into that category. He has great respect amongst pretty much all fans. |
