Giggs or Overmars in their prime?

Was always an Overmars man myself. Giggs had more strings to his bow in terms of hugging the touchline and whipping crosses in, but Overmars was lethal in front of goal, more of a third striker really.

 

T-1000 runalike motherfucker.

There was a period a few years ago when Giggs wasn't playing well, the crowd was getting on his back, and he was rumoured to be close to moving to Inter.

 

Now look at him.

 

Er, to answer the question, er.....dunno. Giggs had three or four seasosn when he smashed in quite a few goals, but more than a few when he got nowhere near double figures, so his goalscoring has always been erratic, despite his genius.

 

Overmars was a steady goal every four games player, but for some reason he did seem more clinical than Giggs.

 

Giggs.

Both terrific players, no question. Overmars was unlucky that he suffered a series of bad injuries that really cut short his career. Giggs has looked after himself well to be able to continue playing as long as he has, but it is important to point out that he gets every summer off what with his national team never qualifying for anything, and him being highly selective as to when and how often he chose to play for them.
