Career in Pictures: Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs

Wing Wizardry

In April 1999; Giggs scored, arguably, the best goal of his career, and one of the greatest FA Cup strikes of all-time.

The Manchester United star netted a spectacular 109th minute winner in the FA Cup semi-final replay against Arsenal at Villa Park.

Giggs picked up possession after Patrick Vieria’s stray pass, before running from within his own half, past the entire Gunners back line, including Tony Adams, Lee Dixon and Martin Keown, before smashing the ball past goalkeeper David Seaman at his near top corner.

He whipped off his shirt and slung it around after sending the United fans into raptures. That strike was the last goal to ever be scored in an FA Cup semi-final replay, as from the following season, replays were scrapped. Watch below!
