Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 as exceptional as the veteran Welshman played his 900th game for Manchester United at the weekend against the Premier League newcomers Norwich City.
Manchester United took the game with Giggs starting for the Red Devils but soon it was apparent that the tie against Norwich City wasn’t going to be an easy one for the defending champions. United scored the opening goal of the
match but Norwich equalized which set up the stage for a last minute winner by no one other than Ryan Giggs on his 900th appearance for the Premier League champions.
Sir Alex hailed Giggs after the match and said that the midfielder’s record for the Red Devils wouldn’t be equalled in the future as the day and age of playing for one club for the rest of your career has gone by. Sir Alex’s team
will now look forward to their next league encounter against Tottenham, a match that they have to win in order to keep pace with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League standings.
Sir Alex said, "For a player to play for one club for 900 games is exceptional and it won't be done again. We were lucky today. Norwich were the better team. In the first half they put 12 crosses in and we had to defend well and
the keeper was excellent. They were always in the game and we only played to our level for five or six minutes after they scored."
He added, "We know how important a time it is, City put pressure on us yesterday and we knew we had to win. To play 900 games for this club, who I've grown up supporting, is special - it's a great day for me. I am sure there will
be more twists and turns in the title race and I expect more drama and late goals."
