'It's as if you're back in the dressing room' - Ryan Giggs on reuniting with Manchester United teammates to help the next generation
Crowds still flock to see Ryan Giggs. He is strolling through Peel Park in Little Hulton, easing past starstruck kids in football kits as deftly as he used to slalom past defenders.
A 25-minute drive away from The Cliff training ground where Jordi used to marvel at Eric Cantona's volleying technique, the Cruyff Foundation and Foundation 92 have gifted a five-a-side pitch to young Salfordians. "You see the running track around the edge, the basketball hoops, and it's really important for us as players, because we got given a chance and we want to give back."
"Using the grids for goals, maybe trying to hit parts of the wall, just gradually coming back further and further. You'd just test yourself, trying to hit the curb and catch it, little things like that where you'd try and use your imagination. A lot of the time you'd be on your own or there'd be a couple of you."
"It's great to see Jordi. You always follow what an ex-teammate is doing and he's obviously back at Barcelona, where it all began. It's as if you're back in the dressing room.
