DVD Description

21st May 2008, Ryan Giggs comes on as a substitute for Manchester United in the Champions League Final against Chelsea in Moscow. In doing so he beats Sir Bobby Charlton's record number of appearances for Manchester United and with 759 appearances becomes the player who has pulled on the United shirt more times than any other in the club's history. Not only did he break this record but he also went on to score the winning penalty in the game which crowned Manchester United kings of Europe again.

Throughout his time at Old Trafford he has played with dazzling flair, breathtaking skill and a fleet-footed assuredness that has created unforgettable moments of magic. It's not just what he did; it's how he did it.

The DVD goes behind the scene's with United's biggest star. In an access all areas summer Ryan talks through all the key moments of his playing career, shows what his interests are away from football, introduces his friends and family and talks about his plans for the future. This DVD is the comprehensive and definitive account of Giggs' time at United and shows how the boy who was tipped to become the new George Best ended up surpassing even Sir Bobby Charlton in becoming a record-breaking superstar and the symbol of United's dominance during football's Premier League era.

Manchester United Ryan Giggs True Red DVD

21st May 2008, Ryan Giggs comes on as a substitute for Manchester United in the Champions League Final against Chelsea in Moscow.
In doing so he beats Sir Bobby Charltons record number of appearances for Manchester United and with 759 appearances becomes the player who has pulled on the United shirt more times than any other in the clubs history.
Not only did he break this record but he also went on to score the winning penalty in the game which crowned Manchester United kings of Europe again.

Breaking this appearance record is a monumental achievement.
It has been done for the biggest club in the world in an era when one-club players are a rarity and when the talent and dedication required to remain at the top is more demanding than ever.

In what has been an illustrious career, no player has won more medals than Ryan, however his legacy is not just about numbers and figures.
Throughout his time at Old Trafford he has played with dazzling flair, breathtaking skill and a fleet-footed assuredness that has created unforgettable moments of magic.
Its not just what he did; its how he did it.

This programme is the comprehensive and definitive account of Giggs time at United and show how the boy who was tipped to become the new George Best ended up surpassing even Sir Bobby Charlton in becoming a record-breaking superstar and the symbol of Uniteds dominance during footballs Premier League era.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new angle on a great player, 2 Jan 2009

By	M. Harrison "Hamish" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a must-buy for any admirer of Ryan Giggs - and it says a lot about the player that this could possibly extend beyond Manchester United fans.

Unusually for a sports DVD it is a high quality piece of work: it could almost stand up to be being broadcast as a TV documentary. The production values are high and although indulgent at times, it is mostly well paced and engrossing.

The most rewarding material - perhaps surprisingly - is of the young Ryan Giggs, or Ryan Wilson as he then was. It is unusual for there to be so much good quality footage of a teenager, and it reveals a blisteringly fast, impossibly well-balanced rake of a winger turning junior defences inside out. You wouldn't have to be a professional football scout to spot that any top club should try and gobble him up. Astonishingly however Manchester City declined to offer him schoolboy forms. So United pounced - and the story of Alex Ferguson turning up at the family home is well told.

There is a strong cast-list of interviewees, but the best interview material relates almost entirely to the early part of his career, with his family and friends appearing to good effect. The later clips are mostly a repetitive sequence of high profile testimonals to what a great guy he is. The interview material with Giggs himself is consistently good however. He is honest and modest - and gives enjoyable insights into famous moments such as his turn in the penalty shoot out in the Champion's League Final of 2008.

The star section is the whole DVD chapter given to THAT goal against Arsenal. Lee Dixon and Alex Ferguson deconstruct the moment; we see it from every conceivable angle; and it only seems to get better and better.

The extras include footage of every United goal he scored, season by season. That's more than a hundred now of course. Two things become evident when you watch them one after another. First, he scored very few scruffy goals: most are stunning, many seem impossible, all appear to have incredible composure - and it begs the question why he didn't score more. The second is just how many he scored from acute angles. It feels like around half, though in reality it is no doubt fewer. The effect is to give a new spin on THAT goal. Whereas hitherto one has always asked 'how, after that blistering 70 yard run did he manage to smash the ball past Seaman from that angle'; now one observes 'once he made made his run and beaten four defenders (most more than once) and got into that position, he was bound to score...!'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Brilliant!, 31 Jan 2009

By	D. Bachman (Los Angeles, Ca.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderful documentary spanning the career of Ryan Giggs. Not only is he the one of the true legends of Manchester United, he is also one of the greatest players in British football history. The DVD is packed with great moments from throughout his career and takes an in depth look at the man, as well. There is great music! Great goals! Great moments! It is an excellent buy!
