Casinos in L.A. would probably pale in comparison with the earnings of some footballers today. These players probably have the money to buy certain towns in our country. The fallout of this being that they change clubs like diapers and don’t think twice about it. Football is the new business arena where the smarter you are, the richer you get – end of story.

In such a world there is a certain ‘Ryan Giggs’ who stands out among the crowd. He stands out because he has the distinction of playing for one club throughout his professional career despite getting lucrative offers from elsewhere. He started his professional career at 17 at Manchester United. Sixteen years down the line he is still at United. Add to that, he has consistently been playing top notch football, still bamboozling defenders half his age with ease. There was a time when he enjoyed the kind of media attention that Ronaldo or Becks do now. What makes him different is that he decided to shun all the attention as it was better to concentrate on football. Giggs has been an Old Trafford faithful throughout. His achievement? Unconditional love from the Red Devils across the world and respect from anyone who understands football.

Till date, Giggs prefer to stay away from interviews, photo shoots, media conferences etc. Yet his name is often splashed in the media. Why? Because, his football does all the talking for him and Giggs is content with that He does not want to be talked about for anything else. Out of all the achievements he has had over the years, I would like to end by pointing out at one “Securing the commitment of millions of young hearts towards Manchester United for life.”
