Man Utd: 5 Reasons Why Ryan Giggs Is The Greatest Premier League Player Of All Time

3. Breathtaking Moments Of Pure Quality

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN-oHNLE_ss These days, Ryan Giggs has changed his game and plays with a more conservative approach. Gone were the days of old when you'd see him tearing up the wings with his blistering pace, skinning defenders to the bone and turning opponents inside out. Thanks to his advanced years, he today plays in a more central position in midfield, but let's not forget those times gone by. On April 14th, 1999, Ryan Giggs scored not only the best goal you have ever seen in English football, but the best goal you will ever see in the game. United and Arsenal had fought out a 1-1 draw at Villa Park in the second leg of the semi-final of the FA Cup and with the game in extra time, Giggs collected the ball in the middle of the park, dribbled past Vieira, skinned Dixon, beat Keown for pace and flummoxed Tony Adams before bursting into the penalty area and unleashing an unstoppable thunderbolt into the roof of David Seaman's goal to send United through to the final of the FA Cup, and helped his side to their historic Treble in the process. It was a breathtaking moment of pure quality and that's just what the greatest players in Premier League history are capable of. Watch the above video for more outstanding moments from Ryan Giggs.
