From the list, Giggs is a player who was the oldest, is 37 years. The increase in popularity may not be separated from its ability to play at a high level even though no longer young. At least, it is evident from the number of flying hours reached 25 times in the Premier League and eight times in the Champions League last season. Not many players like Giggs' retirement age could play all that often, especially at the club for Manchester United.
In addition, the popularity of Giggs also boosted by the unfolding scandal of his affair with brother-in-law, Natasha, around June. Perhaps, this has contributed to raise the amount of sales of replica costumes last season. The reason, according to British media, the scandal could force Giggs retire before the 2011-2012 season begins. If true would be so, Giggs replica costumes will be scarce because it will stop produced faster than it should.
