Giggs is a legend.

Those awards are just to make people argue. You have 10 brilliant sportsmen and you have to single one out. No clear cut criterium. So it is a bit of a popularity contest. How can you compare tennis, football and snooker?!? You can choose the best tennis player, the best snooker player. That's as far as it goes. Picking the best footballer is a no win situation - how can you compare a goalkeeper to a striker? Who is "better"?
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
