Ryan Giggs may have won more medals than any other player in Manchester United history but as far as the Wales winger is concerned there are few feelings to touch beating Liverpool.
Giggs provided the free-kick from which England centre-half Rio Ferdinand headed in the only goal of the game against Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday, a result that left second-placed United four points ahead of the European champions in the English Premiership table.
Ferdinand's goal sparked delirious scenes amongst home fans, something Giggs - himself a lifelong Red Devils supporter who grew up in nearby Salford - a veteran of 29 United-Liverpool clashes could well understand.
"It doesn't matter how the teams are doing, it is always the biggest game of the season and always the one you look forward to the most," said Giggs.
"When you look at the history, the rivalry, the 30 or so miles separating the two teams, it has always been that way.
"It just so happens this season we are next to each other in the league, but it doesn't really make any difference. It is massive to get one over on your biggest rivals and you could see just what it meant when the fans and players celebrated at the end."
Ferdinand certainly had reason to celebrate. After taking 140 games to score for United, the 29.1 million pounds former Leeds defender has now netted three times in five home matches.
"The manager (Sir Alex Ferguson) has been getting on my case and so have some of the fans when they have been talking to me in the street," Ferdinand said. "It is hard to put into words your feelings when the ball goes in the net.
"There is a great rivalry between the teams and a lot of history and to score the goal which turned out to be the winner is what dreams are made of.
"The best thing of all was to score at the Stretford End. I have scored at the other end but to get one at that end was brilliant."
Following this league win United have chances to progress in England's two major knockout competitions with a place in thge League Cup final up for grabs when they play Blackburn at Old Trafford on Wednesday ahead of this weekend's FA Cup fourth round tie away to Wolves at Molineux.
And the fact that the likes of Ferdinand are hitting the back of the net, not just strike pair Ruud van Nistelrooy and Wayne Rooney, has bolstered Giggs's belief that United can enjoy a successful season.
"We can't just rely on Wayne and Ruud," said Giggs, who has set up all Ferdinand's goals this season.
"We have to spread the goals around and that is what we are doing. We always felt Rio could get goals because of his height and he has done that this season. We will keep trying to put the ball in the right areas and hopefully it will continue."
