A look at some of the memorable moments in Ryan Giggs 29 years at Manchester United:---FIRST GOALDoes it get any better than scoring a winning goal on your full debut against your biggest rival? Thats what happened when Giggs started for United in the Manchester derby against City at Old Trafford on May 4, 1991. Stephon Gilmore Youth Jersey . There was some debate about the scorer -- Giggs got the slightest of touches on Brian McClairs right-wing cross, and the ball deflected off City defender Colin Hendry and ricocheted into the net -- but the goal was given to Giggs. It clinched a 1-0 win and was the first of Giggs 168 goals for United.SOLO STRIKEA perfect illustration of Giggs at his jinking, pacy, and direct best -- all at just the age of 18. Against Tottenham on Sept. 19, 1992, he seized on a defensive slip to poke the ball past one defender with his first touch, nutmeg another with his second, round the goalkeeper with his third, and fire home a shot from an acute angle with his fourth. So quick, so simple.CLASSIC FA CUP GOALIt will go down as Giggs most famous goal, and one of the greatest ever in the FA Cups long, distinguished history. United was down to 10 men and drawing 1-1 with Arsenal in a semifinal replay at Villa Park on April 14, 1999, when Giggs pounced on a loose pass from Patrick Vieira. From inside his own half, Giggs set off on a mazy run, sashaying past the retreating Vieira, turning Lee Dixon inside out, leaving Martin Keown on his backside before driving a rising, angled shot into the roof of the net beyond David Seaman. Giggs celebrated by removing his jersey -- displaying his hairy chest -- and twirling it above his head as he sprinted down the touchline. United won 2-1 and went on to complete an unprecedented Champions League-Premier League-FA Cup treble that season.THE PASSBy 2009, Giggs had been converted from a winger to a central midfielder. His turn of pace had gone but he was still way ahead of the rest. In the last minutes of a sensational Manchester derby on Sept. 20, Giggs -- in one movement -- calmly controlled a defensive header and immediately threaded a diagonal ball through to Michael Owen, piercing Citys defense. Owen did the rest, but Giggs was the inspiration behind a goal that secured a 4-3 win.INTERIM MANAGERFollowing the firing of David Moyes with four games left of the 2013-14 campaign, Giggs was asked to take charge as interim manager until the end of the season. His first game in charge was a 4-0 win against Norwich at Old Trafford on April 26, 2014. Flanked by former teammates Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Phil Neville, United walked out for the match to a brilliant reception. I felt 10 feet tall, Giggs said. Tedy Bruschi Patriots Jersey . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. Tom Brady Patriots Jersey .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. https:///...ham-Inverted-Jersey/ . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Russia was stripped of another track and field medal from the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Friday after three athletes were retroactively caught in drug tests, the latest blow to a country reeling from scandals over widespread doping.Russia lost its silver medal in the womens 4x400 relay after Anastasiya Kapachinskaya tested positive for the steroids stanozol and turinabol in a reanalysis of her samples, the International Olympic Committee said.Its the second 2008 relay medal stripped this week from Russia because of doping. On Tuesday, the IOC took away Russias gold in the 4x100 after Yulia Chermoshanskaya tested positive for the same two steroids.Under international rules, an entire relay team loses its medals if one of the runners tests positive.With Kapachinskayas positive, Jamaica is in line to move up from third to silver and Belarus from fourth to bronze in the 4x400 relay.Kapachinskaya was also disqualified from her fifth-place finish in the individual 400 meters.In the two other cases announced Friday, Alexander Pogorelov tested positive for turinabol and was stripped of his fourth-place finish in the decathlon, and Ivan Yushkov had his 10th-place result in tthe shot put annulled after he tested positive for stanozolol, turinabol and oxandrolone. Tom Brady Womens Jersey. The three drugs are all traditional steroids that go back decades. Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson tested positive for stanozolol at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, where he was stripped of the gold medal in the 100 meters.The IOC stores doping samples for 10 years so they can be retested when improved methods become available. Using enhanced techniques, the IOC has retested more than 1,000 doping samples from the Beijing Games and 2012 London Olympics to catch cheats who evaded detection at the time. A total of 98 athletes have been caught.For the Beijing and London retests, the IOC used a method that can detect use of steroids going back weeks and months, rather than days.Fridays decision was another black eye for Russia, whose track and field team was banned from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics over allegations of state-sponsored doping. Investigations are continuing into wider systematic doping in Russia involving dozens of other summer and winter Olympic sports. ' ' '
