Giggsy - The Biography of Ryan Giggs

Poorly written, boring account of Giggs' sporting exploits. Unable to match the brilliance of Giggs' career, Worrall offers little insight into the man or his motivation, and recounts only tedious details of his match performances without drama, passion, or narrative panache. Dull and uninspiring biography that even the most diehard Giggs fan should avoid.

This book should be renamed Ryan Giggs The Fixture ListAs die hard Manchester United fan I had to stop reading half way through and throw the book away.Just an endless tirade of dull historical fixtures with Ryan Gigg's name loosely attached.If you want to know something about Ryan's personality, childhood and life outside of football don't buy this book.Ryan you should be ashamed of yourself.

the worst biography I've ever read. the book reads like this: lists all the games that Ryan has played in, states whether he scores or doesn't and then uses quotes that Ryan has said to the media to backup how he felt. that's it. that's the gist for the entire book.shameless cash in that I could have written myself as it was written without direct access to Giggs! he hasn't spoken a single new word to this person. it's all previously quoted materialplease look elsewhere. you're better off going to Gigg's wiki page. because that all this book is.

good service

A story about a battler and a united hero. A good read. Recommend to all ages about success and hardworking.

A good read at a good price

This is full of information without being over facing and boringBrian

Good read

what a book

Does become repetitive at times and would have been good if it described his youth a little more, other than these it was a good book.

Great insight

Excellent read

Excellent, if you like Giggsy. Seems a nice guy. But, with a ghost writing for him, how can he 'let go' fully?

This was a present for my husband and he said it was a great read and worth buying. He is a very big football fan.

I brought it as a Christmas present for someone and they haven't put it down since. This person says they absolutely love this book and would recommend it to any football fan.
