Ryan Giggs finished his Premier League career with a record 162 assists for Manchester United.
Giggs accumulated those assists across 632 Premier League appearances between 1992–93 and 2013–14. Operating mainly from the left wing, he became renowned for early crosses, incisive dribbling and precise delivery from set pieces. His extraordinary longevity allowed him to remain productive through several generations of teammates.
The Welshman also won 13 Premier League titles, all with Manchester United, and scored 109 goals in the competition. He was part of the club’s first Premier League-winning side in 1992–93 and its 2012–13 title-winning team, making him a link between the league’s beginning and its modern era.
A common mix-up is choosing David Beckham, another celebrated Manchester United crosser, or Cristiano Ronaldo, who was a prolific scorer rather than the record assist-maker. The Premier League’s official statistics list Giggs first with 162 assists, well ahead of the other options in this quiz.
