An official access all areas, cinematic documentary celebrating Ryan Giggs’ illustrious career at Manchester United Football Club. Directed by Daniel Mendelle, Life of Ryan combines video diary footage with archive film of the footballing legend’s career, along with a rare glimpse into Ryan’s other passions outside the beautiful game. Currently assistant manager at Manchester United F.C., Ryan Giggs is celebrated as having the longest Premier League career to date, having played 1,027 games and won 34 trophies over the course of a career spanning almost 8,000 days. Thanks to this, he is now one of the most famous and successful footballers in history, and is regarded as a true legend of the modern game. Life of Ryan comes from the producers of the acclaimed sporting documentary film The Class of 92, which detailed the rise to prominence of the infamous six Manchester United footballers who joined the team along with Ryan Giggs in the early 1990s, and whose careers have been in the global spotlight ever since. The film also features high profile interviews with his Class of 92 teammates David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Phil Neville, Gary Neville and Nicky Butt, plus sporting icons Rio Ferdinand, Diego Maradona and former manager Sir Alex Ferguson, along with current Manchester United players including Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick.
Ryan Giggs first played for Manchester United in the season before the Premiership began; back when Bryan Robson was still captain. He took possession of United's left wing and never loosened his grip. Over a fourteen year career so far, he's seen them all come and go: Cantona, Schmeichel, Beckham and the rest. Sir Alex Ferguson said of Giggs 'I knew we had an outstanding talent when we gave him his debut.' That was back in 1991, but it remains as true in 2005 as it ever was. Giggs has been a pivotal figure in United's dominance of the Premiership. There have been rivals but no other team can match the their sustained record of success over recent years. And Giggs is the only player to have played in all eight of those title winning campaigns. Off the pitch, Ryan Giggs has always closely guarded his private life. But here he opens up for the first time, sharing details of the sometimes turbulent childhood that shaped him and the relationships that have mattered to him to reveal the man behind the famous number 11 red shirt. One thing seems clear: the Old Trafford crowd will be singing 'Giggs will tear you apart again!' for a few years yet ...
As modern football legends, the Class of 92 need no introduction. Class of 92: Out of Their League, however, opens a dramatic new chapter in the story of former Manchester United greats Gary and Phil Neville, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Nicky Butt, as they take on a new role in each of their lives: owners of semi-professional club Salford City FC. An enthralling, in-depth account of Salford's first two years under new ownership, Class of 92: Out of Their League combines first-hand accounts from Gary, Phil, Paul, Ryan and Nicky as they try to turn round the club's fortunes, along with a wider story of tremendous athletic and human drama. Featuring colourful characters like managers Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley, star players, club chairman Karen Baird, lifelong fans, and more, this is a story told with real authenticity and grit. Accompanying the second series of the hugely popular BBC series, Class of 92: Out of Their League is both a testament to the best of modern football and a brilliant reminder, in an era when fans are threatening walkouts over rising ticket prices, of what football is really all about.
