Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson paid tribute to Ryan Giggs after their draw at Tottenham.
United's all-time record appearance-maker notched his 856th outing for the club at White Hart Lane on Sunday, reaching the 600 mark in league appearances.
"He's an incredible human being," beamed the United manager to manutd.com. "He's a credit to the game and an example to any player in the game. We use him as a role model because he is a great role model.
"Looking after yourself and preparing to be a top player requires a lot of sacrifice, and Ryan has made them throughout his career here. He's just an incredible human being."
