One of the more remarkable statistics from Giggs's career is that he is the only player to have scored in every season of Premier League football since the competition's inception back in 1992.
And since making his debut in 1991, he has had 244 different team-mates with Manchester United, Wales and Great Britain.
We took a look at some of those Old Trafford 'legends' you may have forget once passed the ball to Giggsy.see them after cut....
1. Clayton Blackmore - "Sunbed" was the classic squad player
2. Russell Beardsmore - one of the first wave of "Fergie's Fledglings"
3. Chris Casper - product of the youth set-up that produced the Nevilles, Beckham, Butt and Scholes, but only played twice
4. Luke Chadwick - sufferer of many a jibe over his appearance
5. Terry Cooke - the "new Giggs" was last seen in the Azerbaijan Premier League
6. Jordi Cruyff - surely good for a turn but only played fleetingly in five years
7. John Curtis - United career ended after a roasting by Marc Overmars
8. Mal Donaghy - so old he played in the 1982 World Cup for Northern Ireland
9. Quinton Fortune - despite playing in three Premiership winning seasons, never played the required 10 games to earn a winner's medal
10. Darren Ferguson - the old man was the boss but still hardly got a game
11. Ezekiel Fryers - Ezekiel who? Two League Cup games and then sent to Belgium
12. Andy Goram - Yes, he did play for United. Twice on loan in 2001
13. Lee Martin (90s) - full-back who won the FA Cup replay in 1990 with a rare goal
14. Lee Martin (00s) - Giggs has been around for so long, he has seen off two Lee Martins. The winger played three times between 2005 and 2009
15. Mike Phelan - England one-cap wonder and now assistant manager, the 50-year-old stuck around until given a free transfer at the end of the 1993–94 season,
16. Karel Poborsky - the Czech offered the finest Mullet ever seen at Old Trafford
17. William Prunier - voted the sixth worst Manchester United player of all time, conceded four at Spurs in his second game and sent to pasture
18. Mark Robins - the man who is credited with saving Fergie's job with a crucial FA Cup goal and is now the manager of Huddersfield Town
19. Les Sealey - replaced Jim Leighton for the 1990 FA Cup final replay, sadly passed away in 2001.
20. Massimo Taibi - another Fergie flop dubbed 'The Blind Venetian' after he infamously let a Matthew Le Tissier shot creep through his legs
21. Danny Wallace - not Dave Gorman's mate but one of three brothers who made their name at Southampton. Was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1996
22. Neil Webb - England midfielder turned postman
