Ryan Giggs of Man U lifting the Premier League Trophy
Hell yeah! The Red Devils are the Champions of England once again. Ha. :D After 9 months of intense battle, Man U deservedly lifted the trophy once more! Glory Glory Man United!!!
Have been supporting Man U since like for about 12 years now, since 1996 when I first started watching the English Premier League. Then, I was attracted by the likes of Peter Schmeichel (probably the best keeper in the world and at Man U) and Eric Cantona.
Some Great Saves by the Great Schmeichel
I think it was the Red Devil's brand of attacking football,(the way the beautiful game was supposed to be played) and their never-say-die mentality that drew me to them. Their endless "come-back-from-the-death" goals never fail to make my heart work faster. Ha.
Who can forget their treble winning season when they scored 2 goals in the 90 seconds of injury time to come back from 1-0 down to win 2-1 in the Champions League Final against Bayern Munich.
And the goal I will always remember is the one in the 1999 Semi-Final against Arsenal when who else but Ryan Giggs (incidentally, I was known as Ryan Giggs in our former Sunday Soccer League aka the CWL. Ha.)ran almost 3/4 of the pitch to score the winning goal in extra time.
One of the MOST memorable goals scored by Giggs
When Giggs scored that goal, I was loss for words and in deep shock. Yah, I didn't know he has got SUCH a HAIRY CHEST!!! Ha.
One trophy down, another one to go in a week and a half time. 21 May. Man U vs Chelsea for the Champions League Title. Let's hope that the Red Devils will prevail again!!!
