With eleven league titles, two Champions Leagues and four FA Cups under his belt, take a look at five of his best goals. September 19, 1992, Tottenham (a) As with so many of Giggs' best goals, it started from a position of minimal promise. But showing amazing balance and a blinding turn of pace, skips past one defender, nutmegs another before rounding the goalkeeper and converting from an acute angle. February 5 1994, QPR (a) Giggs seizes on a loose ball just inside the Rangers half and embarks on a run forward. The Welshman skips past four challenges as he sped into the penalty area, then cut a shot into the far corner in the manner of George Best. April 14, 1999, Arsenal (Villa Park) Recently voted the best FA Cup goal of all-time. Patrick Vieira "gave Giggsy the ball" so the United song goes. Off Giggs set on a 60-yard burst that took him past a succession of Arsenal defenders before he smashed his shot high past a startled David Seaman. His celebration saw him remove his shirt and swing it around his head before United players and supporters crowded around him. (Watch You Tube) February 25, 2003, Juventus (a) Giggs was bearing the brunt of disaffected fans, who felt his time at Old Trafford was up. On the biggest stage at the Stadio delle Alpi, he showed them otherwise. Charging straight through the Juve defence, he went past two sturdy challenges before beating Gianluigi Buffon and then turned his back to the crowd and pointed to the name on his shirt. February 8 2009, West Ham (a) At 35, Giggs proves he still has the old magic. Fellow veteran Paul Scholes presented him with the ball on the left flank, allowing Giggs to cut inside. As the West Ham defence stood off, the winger spotted his opportunity, driving home with his right foot to secure a precious victory on the road to another title.
