After a spell with Manchester City as a youth between 1985 and 1987, he switched to the red side of Manchester and played for United’s youth team between 1987 and 1990. He then graduated from the senior side and under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson, he played 672 games for the club, scoring 114 goals. The left-footed midfielder made his international debut for Wales as a 17-year-old in 1991 and went on to play 64 games for his country. Mr Giggs won many accolades during his career including 34 trophies, BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2009, PFA Young Player of the Year twice and was awarded an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honors List in 2007 for his services at football. After his career ended, the former footballer went into management and took over as interim boss at Manchester United when David Moyes was sacked in 2014. When Dutchman Louis van Gaal was appointed as Moyes’ successor, Giggs became assistant manager at the club – a role he held for two years. In 2018, Wales appointed Mr Giggs as country manager, taking over from Chris Coleman. But when he was arrested in November 2020, he ceded his role to Rob Page, who became caretaker boss of the national side. Under Page, Wales qualified for their first World Cup in 1958 and Mr Giggs stepped down as Wales manager, saying it was “only right” that his successor took the job on a full-time basis.
