Man Utd legend Giggs: I know I have been part of special era

Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs will see action today against Liverpool.

Giggs, at 36, is the most decorated footballer in the UK, having won a staggering 11 Premier League titles, two Champions League gongs, four FA Cup medals and three League Cup triumphs, as well as holding United's all-time appearance record of 828 games.

"The next medal or trophy is still my motivation," said the former Wales international, who was capped 64 times between 1991 and 2007. "It's got to be. I will have 40 to 50 years to look back at what I won when I finish.

"Of course, I'm proud when I see the list and lucky in some respects to have won so much but there are still things I want to achieve. 'I will only look back on that, though, when I finish playing with great pride and realise I have been part of a special era.

"Winning the Sports Personality of the Year was strange. It was great to receive that sort of recognition but it's a different feeling from winning a trophy. You can't beat winning a trophy."
