Giggs humbled by bravery of South Africa's sufferers

Manchester United legend tells Mark Ogden in a Cape Town township that he is eager to use his status to add weight to the continent's fight against HIV virus

Tuesday, 22 July 2008

Raw admiration is etched across Ryan Giggs' face. Phumzile, a young man living with HIV, has just produced a brief video diary detailing the road he has travelled since discovering his illness and overcoming the stigma attached to it – still a huge obstacle in South Africa – by revealing his status to his family.

Giggs sits alongside Phumzile in the spartan classroom of a comprehensive school in Gugulethu, a township 15km outside Cape Town. The Manchester United midfielder has met Nelson Mandela and witnessed some of football's greatest players at close hand, yet his facial expression when he turns to Phumzile at the end of his story betrays a humbled man in the presence of someone of true substance. "Seeing and hearing the lad's story showed what bravery is all about and what being a man is about," Giggs said. "He shared what he has been through and that took so much courage.

Giggs honoured by university

Manchester United and Wales international footballer Ryan Giggs has been awarded an honorary degree for his contribution to sport and charitable causes.

Giggs, 33, was made a master of arts by the University of Salford in a ceremony at the Lowry Theatre.

Collecting his award, Giggs said: "I'm really pleased to accept this degree.

"When I started my career as a professional footballer I didn't envisage that one day I'd be made master of arts.

"I grew up in Salford and it's been a big part of my life for 30 years, so it's great to be a part of Salford University now."

Dawn of a new era for Ole

Dawn of a new era for Ole

Football may have just emerged from its summer hiatus, but for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer there's been little rest. A new role as United Reserves manager, coaching courses at Lilleshall, the birth of his third child - Elijah - and further planning towards his testimonial in August...

I take it you could call the last few weeks ‘hectic’?
[Puffs his cheeks] A little! I had a coaching course at Lilleshall, got the Reserves job, had a baby… so it’s quite busy at the moment. I might get one Friday night off, if Di Law (from Ole’s testimonial committee) lets me! I’m not complaining. I wanted the coaching course, the Reserves job, this testimonial – and, of course, the baby – so you have to be prepared to work for them.

Are you looking forward to your testimonial?
The thing I’m thinking about most is whether I’m going to last and do myself justice on the pitch. I’m a bit worried about that, but it’ll be a good day for my family. I’ve spoken to Roy [Keane] about his testimonial and he said it’s a great family day, so from that aspect I can’t wait.

By Phil Kirkbride

MANCHESTER United reserve team manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says that he is revelling in his new role.

Speaking exclusively to the Advertiser after his side beat Burscough 3-1, the 35-year-old Norwegian also admitted to having only heard of the Linnets two weeks ago.

But after his players were required to battle hard for their win, Solskjaer is now able to pin point Burscough on the footballing map.

Ole makes a winning start

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made a winning start to life as a manager as the Reds' Reserves posted a 3-1 victory at Burscough on Saturday.

Goals from Tom Cleverley, Febian Brandy and Rodrigo Possebon gave United victory despite some good pressure from the hosts, who pulled a late goal back through David Brookes.

It took just seven minutes for Cleverley to notch the first goal of the Solskjaer regime, turning smartly and firing home from 15 yards.

Although the hosts rallied well, Brandy doubled the Reds' advantage just before the interval when he fired past Burscough keeper Ian Lowe.

Fifteen minutes after the interval, Possebon put the game to bed with a stunning goal. Picking the ball up 25 yards from goal, the Brazilian midfielder smashed a superb dipping effort into the corner of the goal.

Although the Reds dominated the remainder of the game, Brookes had the final say when he slipped the ball under Ron-Robert Zieler to salvage some rewards for the hosts' spirited performance.
