Ryan Giggs won the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year award last night, following up his Footballer of the Year and PFA Player of the Year successes at the end of last season.
The 36-year-old is sweeping all before him, as he has done throughout his career, being the mnost decorated player of all time in English football.
This year Giggs has passed his 800th appearance for Manchester United, scored his 150th goal and helped them reach the Champions League final.
The Cardiff-born player said: "I am playing for the greatest manager that has ever lived and I'm playing for the greatest club. Perhaps I've become more appreciated as I have got older. It's unusual for a 36-year-old to be playing with a team like Manchester United for 20 years but I am enjoying it and long may it continue."
Giggs has played in every season since 1990-1, including every Premier League season - the only player to do so.
It is to be hoped that the fine player and sportsman that he is, Ryan Giggs hae a few more years left in him yet.
