Part 3: Greatest Premier League Team Of All Time - as voted by the fans
After a global scale vote, in which hundreds of thousands of fans of the English Premier League voted to pick their favourite players, the ultimate dream team finally emerged. The team is dominated by players from Manchester United, while boasting a French
attacking line up.
Midfield
The midfield was going to be one of the hardest areas to pick four players for, however after hundreds of thousands of votes, there was finally a list of names who would fill up those four spots. The players that the fans chose to play in the midfield are
David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Steven Gerrard and Ryan Giggs.
The player who was selected to play on the opposite wing to David Beckham is his former team mate and active United squad member Ryan Giggs. Giggs is a Welsh national, but has spent his entire career as a football player at Old Trafford with Manchester United.
He came onto the scene as a young left winger, who was bursting out to make a name for himself, in the early 1990’s. However ever since then the player has never looked back and has gone on to win eleven Premier League titles with the team. However due to
his age, he has now dropped back and plays as a playmaker instead of a winger.
Giggs has the most football records that a player in the Premier League has held, or probably ever will hold. Giggs in simple words is the most decorated footballer in the history of English football. He is the only player to lift the Premiership crown on
eleven occasions and he has stated that he wishes to win at least one or two more before he retires. Giggs was also the first player in the Premier Leagues history to win two back to back PFA young player of the year awards. He is also the only player to have
scored in every single season of the Premier League since it kicked off.
Giggs has not only been successful domestically in the Premier League, he has also been very successful on the European stage. Giggs was the first player in the Champions Leagues history to have scored in eleven Champions League games in a row.
Giggs has great technique and ball control. The player has the ability to dribble the ball past countless players all the way to the opposing goal and the player has displayed this ability countless times in the past. Giggs is also a great passer of the
ball, he can either create both short passes or hit a eighty yard pass that would land in his team mates path. Giggs is also more than just decent at the set piece. Giggs can take corners and free kicks and is lethal from almost anywhere when he is asked to
whip is a dead ball.
However what really set Giggs apart from the rest of the players in the world and makes him one of the best, is his never say die attitude. The player is now thirty six years old by he still takes to the field as though he was still a teenager looking to
go out and make a name for himself. Gigss is quite possibly the greatest player to ever play in the English Premier League and this is what has made him a fan favourite.
