| On the night Michael Owen's World Cup dream may have come to
a shattering end, the great survivor Ryan Giggs became the ninth
player in Manchester United history to score 150 goals for the club.
Last year's PFA Player of the Year is being championed for a knighthood
by sections of the Old Trafford faithful. After all the plaudits
that have accompanied one of the most astonishing careers of all-time,
it is difficult to know what else there is to give the 35-year-old.
Yet knowing Giggs, victory will be his only prize. And he helped
achieve that tonight by setting up Michael Carrick for the winner
12 minutes from time after Edin Dzeko had put German champions Wolfsburg
in front just after half-time. |
