One of our greatest ever wingers coupled with being one of the worst centre mids in football

Don't forget 68 international caps and 13 goals


what can one say? the most successful longest lasting, most loyal british footballer of all time...
no red cards in nearly 1000 man utd games....he works his socks off, hess probably covered more ground in his career than any European player in history, the man just runs all day
hes done it all with immense flair, pace, imagination, selflessness and sheer hard work too

in addition to his 181 career goals, does anyone have a clue how many goal assists he must have given over the decades? must be hundreds and hundreds

whats he been worth to man utd >? its incalculable....when he joined they hadn't won a league for quarter of a century and they weren't worth much at all
now 24 years later.....thanks in no small part to sir alex and giggsy , theyre the most valuable sports team on the planet and the most successful british club
