| I worked with Ryan 20 years ago on a SEGA game commercial. He had just made it at Utd and he had with him Harry his manager. This bloke looked like he had just got out of a spitfire and anything Ryan did was done only after his consent. It was lovely to see the same man with the same handlebar mushtash by his side tonight.

| One of the very few footballers not to get on my tits, though I think Button had it sewn up! Sorry.

| This man deserves everything he gets IMO . A true professional and its about time he won this, he is certainly one who can be easily described as a role model in sport, unlike some of the tools that play football these days.

| I am a staunch Liverpool fan but I have to say I really admire Giggs on and off the field and his award is well deserved. I am pleased and surprised that the award was won for cumulative relatively unsung efforts rather than going for some short term wonder..the first time I can recall a "lifetime achievement" being awarded as the main prize..

| Have to disagree, it was sports personality of the year. Giggs should have been given an award like the others for achievement over the last 10-15 years not the year. Button should have won for me as he won the championship.

Totally agree.
Giggs is a model Professional and deserves recognition for this over the years. Deserves an award but given wrong one here

Quite simply put, the views of the thousands that voted, (including me) disagree with your opinion, for his skills and for his efforts when he played, he made a massive difference and he changed games from either the start or when he came on as sub.
This is a public vote and they/we got it right !

Love him or hate him, 163 consecutive appearances should make Stuart Littler a Salford legend in anyone's book :Others/NA.JPG |

| Whilst I agree that there is an element of 'lifetime achievement' about that award I think Giggs thoroughly deserved it based upon the milestones he's passed in the last 12 months (albeit that many of those achievements began in previous years).
Quote: SalfordSlim "Just a few stats that Giggsy has racked up during 2009.
100th PL goal
700th PL appearance
11th League title
PFA Player of the Year
Writers Player of the Year
150th club goal
A scorer for the 14th consecutive season in the Champions League (equal with Raul)'"
... and besides, he grew up round here and went to the same school as my daughters, so he must deserve it?!

Did he do more for Man U that Rooney over the year?.......I would say no. Over his career yes but this is for the year. Just stinks of yet another fixed telephone vote.

| Its time the BBC ditched this pointless awards show. The other year Royal nobody Zara Philips won it for her equestrian skills - supposedly off the back of a public vote. Yeah, right.

| Was surprised how low the vote count was compared to talent shows..perhaps it is on the decline.
Lets face it a lot of these "celebrities" have very little "personality"..I don't think I would even know what Button looks like if I walked past him in the street, much less anything else.
A lifetime achievement award does not have the kudos of the main prize of course..
Dont think it was fixed but he would never have won if he hadnt got the footballing award first..and who knows how that got given out..
