Life of Ryan: Caretaker Manager Page #2

---

um, because he said,

"I could be going out on a high,"

which we all thought, "Great,"

and then he was persuaded to stay.

I think he's going to really struggle

when he finishes

because he's had that same routine

for 25 years,

and to then have, well, maybe nothing to do,

it's going to be really hard.

The kids bought him these, and the club

sends him one of them every year,

and I think that one's from the BBC,

this yoga one.

- That one's good.

-(ALL AGREEING)

(LAUGHING) Because that's him.

(CROWD CHEERING ON TV)

RYAN:
Just spotted this. What is this?

Lunch with the Nevilles?

That's getting recorded.

"Gary and Phil Neville join together

for a special Q&A event

"to raise money for their hometown club

Bury FC, hosted by Mandy Henry."

I'll be watching that.

First memory of him was an overhead kick

he scored at The Cliff

against Lewisham when we were Under 15s,

and thinking, "I've got a long way

to go to get to that level."

He was just streets ahead of everybody

that we'd ever met, really, in terms

of football. Never seen anything like it.

The ball was stuck to his feet.

His left foot, sorry, not his feet. (LAUGHS)

He can't dribble with his right.

As a United fan, you never think anybody

can beat Sir Bobby Charlton's record.

Growing up, you just think that

it's a mountain of games over 20 years.

The achievements of him are just incredible.

It'll never be beaten. No one will ever win

as many Premier League titles as Ryan Giggs.

RYAN:
I've got very few stuff around

the house, but this is presented to me

by the Barclay's Premier League.

They sort of had a celebration

of 20 years of the Premier League,

and this was in recognition

of over 500 Premier League appearances,

which they gave me in 2012.

These were the boots that I wore in Moscow,

when we won the Champions League.

It was the game that I broke

Sir Bobby Charlton's appearance record.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

(INAUDIBLE)

RYAN:
I supported the appointment

of David Moyes as British coach,

done brilliantly with Everton,

similar sort of traits as Sir Alex and, yeah,

I thought it was the right appointment.

I'd signed another year in March, April.

David Moyes rang me in the summer

and asked me if I'd like to

be part of the staff as well,

which I thought it was a great challenge

for me and the next step in my career.

I started my coaching maybe ten years ago.

We had the facilities of United,

we had the access to the players

and it just seemed the right thing

to do at the time.

Obviously 30, so you could

be finishing in two or three years' time,

so it was that sort of mindset, "Right,

"we need to start getting ready

and prepared for finishing."
