Proof Ryan Giggs was never World Class: -The only major awards he has won are the PFA Player of the Year and BBC Sports Personality of the Year, both in 2009. While both awards are hugely prestigious, for Giggs they were more of a Lifetime Achievement Award than recognition of his great displays in 2009. -Giggs has played in an incredible 13 domestic cup finals, winning eight of them, but he has never scored in any of them. - He had no impact in all four Champions League finals he has played in, in 1999, 2008, 2009 and 2011. -He may have the most appearances for United, but Ian Callaghan is Liverpool’s record appearance holder and he is nowhere near the best player to have played for the club. -Giggs has 20 years of being very good but he was never world class. Besides a single FA Cup semi final goal in 1999 he has never turned up in a big game. This is vital for being world class. Look at the likes of Gerrard, Rooney and Lampard. -Steven Gerrard has scored in the final of the Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup, winning two of them almost single-handedly. -Wayne Rooney has decided huge matches with moments of individual brilliance, from the overhead kick against City to his superb finish in the Champions League semi-final against AC Milan in 2007. He also has goals in the Champions League and League Cup final. -Even Frank Lampard, who himself has been criticised for going missing in big games, has Champions League and FA Cup final goals to his name.
