Giggs takes Player of the Year Award

April 29, 2009

Manchester United’s legendary midfielder Ryan Giggs has been awarded the PFA Player of the Year at the awards ceremony held in London last night.

Giggs fought off competition from team mates Nemanja Vidic, Christiano Ronaldo and goalkeeper Edwin van der Saar as well as from Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard.

It is just reward for the Manchester United man after he rolled back the years to produce some inspirational performances. These have already secured the Carling Cup and with the Premier League championship and the Champions League within reach, the season may well have a successful ending for the Welshman.

Surprisingly, this is the first time which Giggs has picked up the accolade and he has moved quickly to dilute suggestions that he is set to retire at the end of the season. Speaking straight after the awards, Giggs sated that as long as he is still enjoying the game and feels as though he is offering something to the team then he will carry on playing.

Aston Villa’s Ashley Young capped a great season by securing the PFA Young Player of the Year award whilst one of the biggest surprises of the night came when the PFA Premier League Team of the Year was introduced yet did not include striker Wayne Rooney
