Explanation

Ryan Giggs was named the 2009 BBC Sports Personality of the Year. The Welsh footballer, who spent his entire career at Manchester United, received this prestigious public-voted award in recognition of his outstanding achievements that year, including helping Manchester United win the Premier League and reach the Champions League final. At 36 years old, he became one of the older recipients of the award, which was particularly meaningful as he had never won it before despite his long and distinguished career.
