Ryan Giggs moved to England, from Wales, at the age of seven. He joined Dean39s Youth FC where he learned how to play football. His coach at Dean39s Youth was Denis Schofield, who referred him to Manchester City, where he played for their school of excellence until he was 14 years old. On his 14th birthday Alex Ferguson went to Ryan39s home in Swinton, Manchester, to ask him to sign schoolboy forms. Ken Barnes, City39s chief scout, had already confirmed they would not be signing him. Their loss was Manchester United39s gain, and the rest as they say is history! At 16, Ryan signed amateur forms YTS and turned professional in November 1990, just after his 17th birthday.
