In light of Giggsy's new contract...

---

Giggs made his professional debut on March 2, 1991 at the age of 17. This means that the start of his career predates these things that also happened that year:

1 The end of the Warsaw Pact in July (look it up, kids)
2 Comedy Central’s launch on April 1
3 The end of Apartheid in South Africa
4 The debut of Sonic the Hedgehog
5 The dissolution of the Soviet Union
6 Magic Johnson’s announcement that he was HIV positive
7 The death of Freddie Mercury

Of course, because he debuted in 1991, Giggs has also been around longer than things like:

1 The Internet (which later became “the internet”)
2 The Pentium processor
3 The widespread availability of cell phones
4 Application of the name “Generation X” to Generation X
5 The East Coast-West Coast Hip Hop rivalry
6 The Sony Playstation
7 Ren and Stimpy
8 Absolutely Fabulous
9 The Premier League
