Wolves winger Jarvis: Man Utd legend Giggs my hero

Wolves winger Matt Jarvis admits he grew up idolising Manchester United ace Ryan Giggs.

Jarvis is only in his second season of top-flight football but admits the example of veteran Manchester United winger Giggs drives him on to have a lengthy career.

He said: "My idol has always been Giggs from growing up. I played on the wing and when I was younger he was lightning quick, running around everyone and scoring.

"He was the player I always watched, as well as Marc Overmars and players like that, but Giggs is still playing now and is still an amazing player. He has adapted in terms of how he plays now. He is extremely fit as well.

"It inspires you to have a long career. I am enjoying the licence I've got to use my pace and get past players. Once I start losing that, I'm sure I'll think about a different role.

"But I don't think you will see many players like Giggs, staying at one club and playing at the top level as well as he has done as well."
