As the main player who commanded the world famous Fergie Boy from the class of '92, Ryan Giggs is without a doubt, Sir Alex Ferguson's most prodigious and advanced student. His lifelong relationship with the Red Devils looked like it was going to last all his life, but the arrival of Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho prompted Giggs' departure from the club. Although he was sad to see him go, Ferguson paid homage to the best player he ever saw.
"People can judge footballers on many aspects of their game, but to play for Manchester United means there is a competitiveness and intensity in every single game. At our club you don't play friendly games or easy games – each one is a cup final for the team we're playing against. So when you consider that Ryan had to run up and down that left touchline for over 20 years in matches of that intensity, he is truly unique. What he managed to do was completely unheard of.
"He became a hugely important figure within the dressing room. All the younger players would go to him because he commanded such respect and had such great influence on his team-mates. I know that when I used to get Ryan, [Paul] Scholesy, Gary [Neville] and Rio Ferdinand in the office and chat to them about clamping down on the dressing room and making sure that everything in there was right, Ryan was the one among them who would be the foremost figure, no doubt about that. His place in the history of Manchester United and football is already assured. I doubt we'll ever see a career like his again."
United legend Sir Bobby Charlton, also had something to say about Giggs: "Ryan Giggs was a unique footballer. He has been a credit to Manchester United and I don't think we will ever find his like again. It was an absolute pleasure for everybody at the club to work with him and a joy for all the players he played with. He's a great professional and I'm ever so proud of him for what he's done during such an incredible career.
"Sir Alex Ferguson used to tell me often just how fantastic Ryan was to work with and both men set such high standards. He just loves the game of football and that shone through in his dedication to playing the game for as long as he could. It's incredible to think that he played past his 40th birthday. Back when I was playing, everyone just assumed that you were finished when you reached 30. For Ryan to play for so long and win so many honors was absolutely sensational. It has been an honor to follow his career."
