Who said footballers were stupid !!??Well not our Ryan, he has a degree !
Well OK, he has been given an
honourary degree by the University
of Salford then.
It's been given to him for his contribution to sport and charitable causes.
He was presented with a Master of Arts in a ceremony recently held at the Lowry Theatre.
Having collected his award Giggs told the MEN: "I'm really pleased to accept this degree.
"I grew up in Salford and it's been a big part of my life for 30 years, so it's great to be a
part of Salford University now."
I'm not a big fan of celebrities being given these awards like this. Having said that, on
this ocassion it is fully deserved and it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
He's been one of our greatest players and holds the record for the most appearances
standing at 758. It's actually held jointly with Sir Bobby Charlton but next season will
see him move on to stand alone as the record holder.
It's a busy life as a footballer but to make time to do charitable work for children in
South Africa who have been made vulnerable by HIV and Aids and also to act as an
ambassador for Unicef is admirable and I salute you for that Ryan.
Arise Sir Ryan Giggs ?
