More quotes by Ryan Giggs
Where I grew up, people obviously knew my dad because it's a small place and he was the top player for Swinton - they'd go and watch him play, see him in the papers, so they knew he was black.

There's never been completion in my football career because I've always been striving for that next thing.

I had an early taste of fame. I was 20, going out with TV presenter Dani Behr and we'd have paparazzi chasing us. I'm not comfortable being photographed, though I accept it is part of the job. I had to ask myself, 'What comes first, being a celebrity or footballer?

Ryan Giggs
I am proud of my black roots and of the black blood that runs in my veins.
Ryan Giggs
As players, you just play for the club. I love Man United, I'm going to play for Man United, and that's what my focus is on.
Ryan Giggs

Ryan Giggs
What you've got to realise is that footballers, and me in particular, have seen everything in the changing room. Everything. I've seen the manager kicking off with the players, the players kicking off with him, players fighting each other, managers fighting, everything.
Ryan Giggs
European football games or evening games seem to take a lot more out of you because you don't sleep that night. And as you get older, it gets worse.
Ryan Giggs
I actually don't feel the years passing, although the younger players make sure to remind me of my age. If there's a clip of Bobby Charlton playing or a game's in black and white they'll ask: Were you playing in that Giggsy?
Ryan Giggs
I hope this match never ends. When the match ends, the memories begin.
Ryan Giggs
My weight doesn't really fluctuate, but I make sure I don't eat late at night. It's about making sure I'm right physically because mentally I'm OK.
