Giggs: nothing like beating Reds

RYAN GIGGS may have collected more medals than any other player in Manchester United history but nothing eclipses the satisfaction of beating Liverpool.

Giggs did not follow Gary Neville's lead in haring down to the visiting corner when Rio Ferdinand nodded home his last-gasp winner at Old Trafford on Sunday but the elation was obvious.

Cardiff-born, a boyhood United fan and a player at the club since his early teens, Giggs knows exactly what it means to send the Merseysiders back off to Anfield with their tails between their legs. And while he may now be a veteran of an incredible 29 spats between the north-west giants, the thrill of victory is just as intense.
