Counted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Ryan Joseph Giggs is a Welsh football coach, co-owner of Salford City, and former player who played as a left midfielder or winger. Regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation, Giggs spent his entire professional career at Manchester United, where he also served as the club's interim player-manager and assistant manager. He is one of the most decorated footballers of all time, and is one of only 63 players to have made over 1,000 career appearances. — Wikipedia
