Perryman hails Giggs as another record set to go

TOLD his record for making the most appearances for one club in the top flight was about to go, Steve Perryman let out a chuckle.

“Really? I know about most of my records but not that one. Ah well, I suppose it is about time I got beaten by a winger.”

Now 59, Perryman requires no prompting to offer a more fulsome tribute to Ryan Giggs.
