Giggs: How Bryan Robson pranked me

“So it was the first time I’d driven to a game. I’ve got out of the car at Old Trafford and there are three or four autograph hunters. So I’ve got out, started signing autographs and they’ve said: ‘Ryan, your car’s rolling’.

“I’ve left the handbrake off and it’s rolling towards the gaffer’s big Mercedes! So I’ve gone running after it, I’ve still got a pen in my hand! I’m still trying to sign autographs and put the handbrake on!”

Of course, over the years, Giggsy went from a naive youngster to an experienced silverware collector. While Ryan always revelled in winning trophies, as he got older, our former no.11 says he experienced a different type of joy when earning winners’ medals.

“I think the later ones were just more satisfying because you’d see some of your team-mates win it for the first time and you were buzzing off that,” he said during the podcast.
