The winger, with 54 international caps to his name, has been the
most iconic figure in the Welsh line-up for the past decade and
last won the award ten years ago.
Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs has been crowned Wales'
Player of the Year for the second time at an awards ceremony at
Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
Although he has been criticised in the past for missing a range of
friendly ties, the 32-year-old has been a consistent figure in the
team since being named captain by John Toshack.
Now his form over the past year has been recognised with the
accolade, although Giggs will not be able to celebrate on the pitch
having been ruled out of the Euro 2008 qualifiers against Slovakia
and Cyprus due to a hamstring injury.
During the ceremony at the Millennium Stadium, where Giggs
succeeded Danny Gabbidon in winning the senior award, Derby
County's Lewin Nyatanga was named Young Player of the Year.
