"It's not easy, but I can look back on it and analyse the issues that hindered me stopping him. Dwight Yorke made a fantastic run. I was approaching Giggs and I'd usually show him to the line, but Yorke made a clever run and I came off the correct line. I was a very decent man-marker, but I allowed myself to be distracted by Yorke's movement. His run allowed Giggs to come inside me, which I'm still annoyed about. Without it, Giggs wouldn't have got past me."
"Despite Vieira's misplaced pass giving Giggs the freedom to produce such a brilliant solo goal, Keown still believes that the towering midfielder deserves a statue outside the Emirates Stadium."
"I’m still annoyed that I failed to stop Ryan Giggs' famous solo goal for Manchester United in the 1999 FA Cup semi-final. That goal in extra-time ensured Manchester United would be heading to the FA Cup final, ultimately sending them on their way to the treble that year."
