There is of course a player that made his one thousandth appearance err the other day, Ryan Giggs - eerr, where does he get the energy?
I did, there's some.... did you see him against - that was uum, he was running around like a kid. I mean he must really look after, watch what i eat, basically watching what he eats, maybe not eating after six
I met him you know
He dont drink, listen he dont drink. That's the key right there He doesn't drink alcohol, he doesnt drink. Maybe he's just a professional athlete -i'm not sure that *** goes with this job, so he doesn't drink
but he's very flexible
He must do something, Yoga or Pilates - he must be doing something
yeah he's doing all of that
really?
but I mean - yeah obviously - with all the extra curricular stuff that went on a couple of years ago and that doesnt seem to have affected - so he's possibly been playing better since then. It probably makes you wonder what stanley Matthews got up to
He was 50 wasn't he?
He was 50
Stanley Matthews gave his secret he said that one day a week he would eat no solid food he would just drink liquid and juice -one day a week and that would clean the body out
It's an incomparable thing, Stanley Matthews played at a time when it was much easier
yeah Ryan Giggs has been playing in the premier league for 23 seasons
He's playing at the highest possible level against the top the highest quality defenses that have ever been assembled
and he's still one of the best players on the pitch
and he's still one of the best players
I know why Paul Scholes came back - i was on a film set and there was a bloke catering who looked like Paul Scholes and said 'Paul Scholes is my nephew' and you know when he retires he is going to come into the film catering business -
one week of that -so then said please Sir Alex can I come back. I'm not serving out food to people like Omid Djabili on a film set
you know, it's so much fun playing football if you can look after yourself Giggs can carry on playing for another four/five years for sure at the top level.
The way he played against Real Madrid, he was the best player on the park i thoought you look at me like i'm crazy
no, i agree with you
Alot of it is to do with his build - he's so small and also - he stopped playing international football in pleanty of time. He was never burning himself out playing in major competitions
Well Paul Scholes did that as well didn't he?
yeah, do you know what i mean - you gotta add to the games that he's played if he was an England player like Beckham - they play a lot of internationals, He didnt play alot of inernationals - cause He was Welsh
but i think you're very right about his body shape, cause when you look at someone like ashley cole - that quite thin whip it type body, it's not so bad on you knees.
Ledly King, Ledley King was playing with no minicus in his knee and basically he couldn't train - because he was a big heavy fella. But some of these like Ashley Cole, Giggs - possibly even lampard, they could go on until their 41
No miniscuss, i remember them playing AK Athens in the greek cup final
they were in the Europa League
they were a great team
haha
But one second, i'll tell you why i love Giggs - because for all his 'keeps himself to himself and his little bit of controversy' - he's got a real streak in him. Remember the adversts he did
oh yeh, he did sime adverts, i think it was Nike, one of the boot manufacturers - and it was just little statements - and he made a statement that was aimed completely at Micheal Owen
it was just something he'd written and it was something like - If i was to go out and represent a country for an international team and it wasn't the country that i was born in - i' just feel like a part of my soul would be dead'
