Here below, we look back at some the key moments of his incredible career.
March 1991, Manchester United v Everton
Giggs makes his debut, replacing Brian McClair in a defeat
against Everton, marking the start of a legendary career at
Old Trafford.
October 1997,Manchester United v Juventus
Having made something of a habit of scoring against Italian giants
Juventus, this stunning strike at Old Trafford is arguable
the pick of his goals against the 'Old Lady'.
April 1999, Manchester United v Arsenal
Man United were chasing an unprecedented treble but had to
overcome Arsenal in an FA Cup semi-final replay at Villa Park.
After losing their captain Roy Keane to a red card, it looked as if
the chance had gone, as Arsenal battered them. However, Welsh
wizard Giggs picked up the ball in his own half before blitzing
through the entire Arsenal defence and coolly finishing past
Gunners keeper David Seaman to fire United into the final.
May 2008, Manchester United v Chelsea
Giggs ensures his second Champions League success in Moscow by
scoring a penalty in the deciding shootout in a match which saw him
break Sir Bobby Charlton's club appearance record.
February 2009, West Ham v Manchester
United
Fellow veteran Paul Scholes lays off the the ball on the left,
allowing Giggs to cut inside. As the West Ham defence stood off,
the winger spotted his opportunity, powering home a shot with his
right foot to secure a precious victory on the road to another
title.
Ryan's records and many, many more feature in the new Guinness World Records 2013 edition - available worldwide from 13th September 2012.
