Ryan Giggs is about to make his 900th Manchester United appearance - the latest milestone in a quite staggering career, than has been rewarded with yet another one-year contract for next season.
That will take the Welshman into his 22nd season at Old Trafford.
Throughout that time, Giggs has collected plaudits almost as often as he has won trophies and here we look at a few of the best.
George Best: "One day they might say I was another Ryan Giggs."
Sir Bobby Charlton: "I saw him when he was 15 and he first came to the club - since that time he's not been anything other than good news. He's got a gift and he's a credit to the game."
Sir Alex Ferguson: "He was 13 and just floated over the ground like a cocker spaniel chasing a piece of silver paper in the wind."
Paul Scholes: "There have been so many outstanding players I have had as team-mates but if I had to name one, it would be Ryan. He could do everything."
Rio Ferdinand: "He is a living legend and will probably be appreciated a lot more when he retires than he is now."
Roy Keane: "Ryan was two years younger than me but in terms of ability and maturity, he was light years ahead."
Steve Bruce: "I remember when he was a 14-year-old taking the mickey out of Viv Anderson, who was then England's right-back. What he has done is frightening."
House of Commons: "It (the House) recognises that his skills have been admired throughout the world, that 20 years on he is the country's most decorated player and that he is widely seen as a role model for team-mates and young footballers everywhere."
Gareth Bale: "He's an amazing person to follow and hopefully I can come a little bit near him."
Ryan Giggs: "It still bugs me when people ask if I wished I'd played for England. I was born in Wales, I grew up in Wales and my family are Welsh. I only played for England Schoolboys because I went to an English school."
