This is the night every Manchester United fan has been quietly dreaming about.
Two of the club’s most unforgettable figures, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, will take to the stage together at The Limerick Strand Hotel on Saturday, September 6 for a raw, electric evening of stories, memories and a masterclass insight into the team that changed football forever.
The night is promoted by Elevate Events and emceed by Alan Keegan, the unmistakable 'Voice of Old Trafford' who has announced at the stadium since 2000. He will guide the conversation with the intimate, match-day authority only he can bring.
This isn’t a tidy timeline or a dry Q&A, it’s theatre. Ryan Giggs, the one-club legend whose club record 963 competitive appearances and haul of 34 trophies (including 13 Premier League titles and two UEFA Champions League wins) made him the most decorated British player in history, will talk about what it takes to reinvent yourself season after season and delivering in the moments that mattered.
From the lightning wing bursts of his early years to the creative midfield genius he became, Giggs’ career reads like a manual on excellence and endurance.
Beside him sits Paul Scholes, the understated genius, the midfielder other midfielders measured themselves against. Scholes’ record for Manchester United (more than 700 appearances, 150+ goals and 11 Premier League titles) tells part of the story; the rest is held in every pass that split defences, every world-class strike, and the countless matches where his vision decided the result. Expect stories about training ground rituals, the hush before kick-off and the play-making craft that had the world’s best recognising him as one of the finest of his generation.
And yes, the night will go back to where legends are made: the 1999 Treble. That seismic campaign, Premier League, FA Cup and the unforgettable Champions League final comeback in Barcelona on 26 May 1999, sits at the heart of what Giggs and Scholes built together under Sir Alex Ferguson. Listening to them recall the dressing room, the instructions and the sheer belief that night will be a spine-tingling reminder of why millions fell in love with the club.
Alan Keegan will steer the evening’s conversation, drawing on a career spent inside the stadium voice box, the same man who called the goals and atmospheres that became fans’ most vivid memories. His presence elevates the night from 'talk' to matchday memory: he knows the matches, the moments and the men.

What to expect on the night
The format is intimate and conversational: an on-stage interview that moves fast, deep and funny, peppered with fan questions and behind-the-scenes locker room stories. You’ll hear about the early days that drove Giggs and Scholes to obsession, the standards Sir Alex demanded, the rivalries that sharpened them and the kindnesses and cruelties of life as a United player in the heat of glory.
Why this night matters
Think of all the away days, the winter evenings, the goals that stopped time. For decades, fans poured their Saturdays and Saturdays’ hopes into the red shirt. Giggs and Scholes repaid those nights with feats that have become family stories. Now the boots are off and the lights are softer, but the stories are bigger than ever. This is a chance to celebrate those careers, to hear the locker room jokes, to remember the nights when everything changed. Limerick, it is your shot to give these two the welcome they deserve.
