Giggs wins BBC Personality award 
Manchester United star Ryan Giggs was crowned 2009 BBC Sports Personality of the Year in Sunday's award ceremony.
The 36-year-old winger has been in top form this year, winning a record 11th Premier League winners' medal and playing in the Champions League final.
Formula 1 champion Jenson Button was second and world heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis secured third spot.
The clearly shocked Welsh footballer said: "To see the people that have won it and to be up here is unbelievable."
Giggs is the first footballer to win the prestigious trophy since England midfielder David Beckham picked up the award in 2001. Michael Owen (1998), Paul Gascoigne (1990) and Bobby Moore (1966) are other football winners.
The Welshman added: "I am playing for the greatest manager that has ever lived and I'm playing for the greatest club."
One of the most emotional moments at the Sheffield Arena was Spanish golf legend Seve Ballesteros being honoured with the Lifetime Achievement award.
The 52-year-old, still recuperating from a brain tumour that required four life-threatening operations, received a standing ovation before receiving the award at his home from a tearful compatriot and golfer José María Olazábal.
606: DEBATE
I wish to extend my congratulation to Ryan Giggs on winning. Thoroughly deserved to a man who is a credit to himself, his family, football club and country.

After the 10 contenders were introduced to a packed audience at the start of the evening, Major Phil Packer received the Helen Rollason award.
The Sussex-born man was awarded for his extensive charity work - which included running the London Marathon this year - and revealed he would be setting up the British Inspiration Trust after leaving the army next February.
The 15-year-old diver Tom Daley, who was already in the list of 10 for the main Sports Personality award, began the night in grand fashion by getting his hands on the Young Sports Personality trophy for the second time.
Next up was comedian Eddie Izzard looking a little more refreshed than three months ago when the 47-year-old was finishing his 43rd marathon in 51 days in aid of Sports Relief.
After being handed the BBC Sports Personality special award, Izzard said: "Everything was painful. People asked me if I enjoyed the running, but I enjoyed the stopping! I staggered, I ran and I crawled."
The team award went to the England cricket team following their Ashes success against the Australians this summer, led by captain and top 10 Sports Personality contender Andrew Strauss.
Strauss, in South Africa with the team, said: "What I am most proud about is that we have stuck together in some pretty tough times. That is what got us over the line in the Ashes and this award can act as a spur to achieve more in the future."
Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt claimed the Overseas trophy following his success on the track at the world championships in Berlin, while 72-year-old swimming instructor Doreen Adcock won the Sports Unsung Hero award.
