Sir Alex Ferguson: 'I remember the first time I saw him. He was 13 and he floated across the ground like a cocker spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind.'
Alessandro Del Pierro: 'Only two players made me cry when watching football, one was Diego Maradona and the other Ryan Giggs.'
Johan Cruyff: 'Eric Cantona is a great player, but he's not as good as Ryan Giggs.'
Brian Kidd: 'His talent is God-given. He will have wonderful skill even when he's got his bus pass, because that sort of ability never deserts you.'
Ron Atkinson: 'Ryan makes you believe there is a football god.'
George Best: 'Maybe one day people will say I was another Ryan Giggs.'
Paul Scholes: 'There have been many outstanding players I've had as team-mates, but if I had to choose I'd choose Giggsy, he can do anything.'
Ferguson: 'Ryan can leave the best defenders with twisted blood.'
