Ryan Giggs voted best player in Premier League history

Former Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs has been voted the best player in Premier League history by the Telegraph, surpassing other names such as Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer and Eric Cantona...

Yesterday, the famous British newspaper Telegraph announced the results of the poll of the 100 best players in the history of the Premier League. As a result, the famous winger of Man United, Ryan Giggs, ranked first in the list.

Giggs is the player holding many records in the Premier League.

According to the Telegraph, Giggs deserves to be a Premier League icon, because he holds a series of records in the number 1 football league in the UK. For example, Giggs is the player who has played the most matches in the Premier League with 632 appearances, or he is also the player with the most assists in the Premier League, with 271 passes. In addition, Giggs has scored 109 goals.

Of course, the Telegraph's vote has sparked quite a bit of controversy. Many people believe that the former Wales international does not deserve to be in first place when ranked next to other legends such as former Arsenal striker Dennis Bergkamp or the once talented midfielder Eric Cantona of the Old Trafford team.

According to the results of the vote, along with Giggs, Man United became the team with the most stars in this list of 100. MU has a total of 23 players in the list with Roy Keane in 3rd place, Paul Scholes in 5th place, Cristiano Ronaldo in 6th place, Eric Cantona in 8th place, Peter Schmeichel in 13th place... However, there is a big surprise that the talented midfielder of MU, David Beckham, is only ranked 21st, behind his teammates Rio Ferdinand (17th) and Wayne Rooney (14th).

Following Man United in terms of the number of players in the Top 100 is Arsenal with 16 stars. Next are Chelsea and Liverpool, both with 13 people honored (of course, those players can play for many clubs, but the concept of "Chelsea, Liverpool..." here refers to the team they are most attached to.

Since this is a Premier League vote, it is understandable why English people dominate the list. Specifically, 40 stars from the foggy country have been named, although in the Top 10 there are only 3 players: Alan Shearer, Paul Scholes and Frank Lampard.

In terms of playing position, strikers were voted the most, accounting for 34 players in the list of 100. In the goalkeeper position, only 9 players were mentioned, of which former MU goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel was rated the highest, ranked 13th.
