and did there give this to the greats of salford?
watkins.hesketh, and risman?????????????
who played a man's game!

As much as I'd love to any/all of them recognised, did any of them have as much success as Giggs, at the same level as Giggs, for as long as Giggs?

I can understand Parky's point about JAW being deserving of a similar accolade but, as far as local sportsmen go, I can't think of anyone in any sport that can come cloes to Giggsy's record.

Didnt Giggs live in Swinton from an early age?. So this DOES mean that Swinton IS IN Salford. Sir John Wilike MUST be next?

Indeed, moved up here from South Wales when his Dad signed for Swinton in 1980 when Ryan would've been about 5/6yrs old.

Went to Grosvenor Road Primary then Moorside High and played for Deans, all of whom are IN Swinton ..... IN Salford!

SWINTON in Salford ! NEVER!!!! Can you imagine the uproar in Worsley when they said Worsley IN SALFORD!!!!

Mandela used to live on Cross Lane, was a regular at The Ship for some time.
