Evergreen Paolo Maldini and Ryan Giggs

Last Wednesday nights' Champion's League football matches witnessed two of the greatest footballers marked a milestone for their respective club as well as their personal milestone. AC Milan's Paolo Maldini marked the 1000th games for AC Milan and Man Utd Ryan Giggs marked the 100th games for Man Utd in the Champion's League.

Both players have played for only one club throughout their career, and that both players' performance have been maintained at such high level all the time. It is quite difficult, if not impossible to find such player in the modern era football to have such loyalty towards their club. Players now are more money orientated, and some are club's reputation orientated.

Paolo Maldini career has been dedicated to AC Milan all life long, and even at 40, he's still able to compete with youngsters with such efficient and accurate performance. He's from a soccer family, who the father was once Italy national hero as well, and he's now a notional icon too. He inheritaged his father's pride and he will be remembered for what he contributed to AC Milan and Italy national team.

Ryan Giggs has been developed into such complete and mature player all thank to the evergreen coach of him, Sir Alex Ferguson, who is his only club coach throughout his career, and he is approaching the club's record appearance probably by this year. He's been such great entertainer eversince he's being introduced into the first team with his dazzling play, and run at opponents. It is that entertaining of seeing his run at opponents, and lightning speed of him that make us all scream and enjoy. He has such a great feet that when at full speed, there isn't many players who can chase after him, and he's always able to stay out from being hack, pull or tackle down by opponents.

Staying out of trouble is what make both players sustaining their career until now, and with the way they play, it would be easily for them to carry on playing football for long time to come, and that there's no age boundary for both players. They would be able to play as long as they wish to.

So here I would want to congrate both the players and pay our tribute to both greatest players in modern era football
