Nothing to be ashamed about.
I loved watching Bergkamp.

Re: Ryan Giggs....
Exceptional - I remember the days when week in, week out he would beat players for fun and yet make it so easy. His performances in the CL in the late ninetees where incredible at times. I remember when you beat Juventus 3-0 and he was simply awesome.
He may have changed his game a bit now to accomodate other players, but is still a very useful player. Also a great professional and role model.

I just find it strange at times, when they do these top 10 lists and he gets omitted.
He should be a definite up with Keane, Shearer & Bergkamp.

Re: Ryan Giggs....
He is forgotten at times by a few people, as too is Paul Scholes. Both deserve to be in that elite bracket of top players.
For me when picking an all time Premiership eleven, Giggs is left midfield no questions asked. No matter how good Overmars and Pires were Giggs was the ultimate left winger.

Re: Ryan Giggs....
its just the pro english media that has neglected Giggsy. Imagine if he was english. He'd have been close to say Shearer in terms of hype and coverage.

Re: Ryan Giggs....
Giggsy was quite a big name anyway, he gets over-looked now but back then he was advertising all sorts of shit from what I remember.
Like the Ryan Giggs football thing.
That was essentially a plastic football attached to an elastic wire.

But he is English. At least, English enough to play for England had he chosen to and English enough to play for England schoolboys.
His decision has condemned him to never playing in a major finals for his country....
