RYAN GIGGS CONTINUED his remarkable record of scoring in every Premier League season when he got Manchester United’s first against Everton yesterday.
If you’re younger than 20 you weren’t even alive for Giggsy’s first in the Prem, scored on 29 August 1992 in the 2-0 home win against Nottingham Forest.
If you need reminding, here’s what the world was like back then:
