Manchester United’s veteran winger http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 wins the golden foot award
Manchester United’s star winger Ryan Giggs has been awarded the Golden Foot award for 2011 in a remarkable event that took place on the evening of 10th of October, 2011 in Monaco. The veteran winger who has been a permanent
fixture in Manchester United’s side is seen as someone who embodies the Manchester United spirit.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson has praised Giggs time and again but this Golden Foot award for 2011 is just another personal accolade that Giggs has collected in his long and industrious career with the Red Devils. Prince Albert II of Monaco
gave Giggs the trophy as he received the highest number of votes on the website of the competition in question. United’s experienced campaigner received more votes than the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gianluigi-Buffon-c14833,
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331 and Samuel Eto’o.
Upon receiving the award, Giggs said, "I have been fortunate to play alongside great players, play for the greatest manager and play for the best club in the world. When we lose he is scary but Sir Alex is hard but fair. He demands
a lot from his players, as he does from himself. He is the best manager and it's great to have had him there throughout my career. 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.”
He added, “I suppose I will have to start thinking about retirement soon but at the moment I am still enjoying my football. If it all finished tomorrow I could say that I have had a fantastic career and wouldn't swap it with anybody.
I'm enjoying it now just like I was when I was 17, that's one of the main reasons I'm still going.”The Golden Foot award has been previously won by the likes of Zinedine Zidane and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diego-Maradona-c11160, thus Giggs enters into a prestigious class of players with
this recent accolade.
