5 things you (probably) didn’t know about Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs

He only won the Welsh Player of the Year award twice

Arguably the best Welsh footballer of all time, yet Giggs only won the Welsh Player of the Year award twice in his career.

The United legend won it in 1996 after a fine season at Old Trafford, which saw him score 12 times, and again in 2006 after an excellent year for both United and Wales.

His tally of two is the same as former Fulham and Tottenham midfielder Steven Davies, and one less than striker John Hartson. Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale has won it six times, including the last four years in a row.
