Giggs

Post by Weybridge »

Signs a new one year contract. He'll be 40 in November.

Can't deny that he doesn't warrant it either. Still a threat on that wing.

Surprised to read that he only has 64 caps for Wales though. You'd figure he should have at least double that. But I guess that's what comes of Fergiepower and international friendlies.

That's what comes from never reaching the final stages of international competitions.

He refused to play friendlies for a long time I think was the reason he didn't have more caps as he thought it wasn't worth harming his club career. Or something like that.

He should've carried on playing for England, the way he started out as a schoolboy England player.

I'm not sure he was ever eligible. He played for England schools because the school was in England. He's still Welsh at birth.

You're right NP. Just looked at wiki which is of course always right....well nearly always. In this case I reckon it is right so I stand corrected.
