Manchester United Fan In Malaysia

You need to have this as your desktop wallpaper. Manutd team wallpaper for 2009/10 season..

I have a really great feeling when Ryan Giggs has been announced as 2009 BBC Sports Personality of Year. I can’t vote because I am not British…so just can only wait for the result.

He is maybe not the BEST player for 2009 ..but his personality is second to none! He can be a role model for any sports available in this world. His passion…charisma..work rate were so great.

I remember watching him in National Stadium in the match against Malaysia… he continue training with Gary Neville and Paul Scholes just after the match!!..fuhh.. what a role model for the young Manutd squad.

Manchester United star Ryan Giggs was crowned 2009 BBC Sports Personality of the Year in Sunday’s award ceremony.

The Welsh winger, 36, is the most decorated player in English football with a record 11th Premier League winners’ medal secured this year.

Formula 1 champion Jenson Button was second with world heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis securing third spot.

“This is a shock as you can tell by the speech I’ve prepared,” joked Giggs when collecting his award.

“I grew up watching this programme. To see the people that have won it and to be here is unbelievable.”

A surprised Giggs is the first footballer to claim the prestigious trophy since England midfielder David Beckham in 2001, with Michael Owen (1998), Paul Gascoigne (1990) and Bobby Moore (1966) the only other football winners.

With the public choosing their favourite from the shortlist of 10 by phone on the night, Giggs received 29.4% of the vote (151,842 votes) ahead of Button (18.74% – 96,770) and Ennis (15.58% – 80,469) with a total of 516,473 votes cast.

This year has seen Giggs win the Professional Footballers’ Association Player of the Year award for the first time in April and the Wales Sports Personality of the Year award, and in a United shirt he has made his 800th appearance, scored his 150th goal and helping them reach the Champions League final.

The Cardiff-born star added: “I am playing for the greatest manager that has ever lived and I’m playing for the greatest club. Perhaps I’ve become more appreciated as I have got older.

“It’s unusual for a 36-year-old to be playing with a team like Manchester United for 20 years but I am enjoying it and long may it continue.”

After Ferguson revealed on Friday that his veteran playmaker had been offered a new contract for next season, Giggs said: “It was the first I had heard of it the other day so I was quite pleased. Hopefully there will be another year after that.”

One of the perks of being a blogger is getting special invites. Last 17th June I got the special invitations to a very stylish party at Club Quattro. The party was hosted by SMIRNOFF® to announce the launch of its limited edition promotional pack design that celebrates its partnership with Manchester United as the official spirits partner and official responsible drinking partner.

Guess what? I did not get to go. I had to work late that day and damn I missed the whole thing. They had whole lot of football fun including a series of foosball and football knock-out challenges for the guests, especially the football enthusiasts, to participate and win attractive SMIRNOFF® and Manchester United merchandises. Some of the guys were supposed to join me and they all complained about missing the chance to check out these babes. Haha!

These pictures I got from my other friend who went to the party. Actually, all of us still stand a chance to win great prizes including Manchester United Malaysia Tour match tickets, Manchester United Jerseys and Caps, laptops, MP3 Players, Mobile phones, and Digital Cameras! All we need to do is log on to www.thespiritofchampions.com or SMS the correct names of the four Manchester United players on the promotional pack, and share in maximum 25 words how they would celebrate with SMIRNOFF®.
