I saw Giggs make his debut against us (how did Wayne Clarke hit the post from there?)
He possesses the same directness, and closeness of control. It is also a long time since this club had anyone who can individually bring the play a good 30 or 40 yards upfield in our favour.
Very rarely do I get carried away by people at the outset of their careers, but I have seen enough football in my lifetime to recognise when somebody has ALL the fundamentals of the game.
There is a real desire and even at 22, he already has something which Giggs was not able to produce until later into his prime - a final ball.
This kid is only going to get better and better. There is a certain karma surrounding this. We were stiffed on Giggs, Johnson turned his back on the dark side to come to us.
A World Cup bet?

Hate to correct you Tolmie but he made his debut v Everton.His first goal was against us I think.
Wayne Clarke was shite thats how he missed!
Says on Wilkipedia that Giggs was mixed race through his Grandfather and suffered racism at school,never knew that.
