Given how long giggs was at the top level of the game, he may have made the wrong choice for Wales fans, but by not playing too often for Wales maybe he helped prolong his club career.

Let the past go lads.

No wonder there are so many people with scrunched up faces in the valleys, if something years on still angers you.
There is no argument that Giggs made the right decision for his career. There was more glory at Manchester United than Wales. He is a Manchester United legend.

However that came to the detriment of his Welsh career, you cannot expect then Welsh fans to hold him in high esteem for that.

Welsh fans will give a Hughes or a Speed a bit of time to gain experience because they have earnt that respect off the fans. Giggs has neither that respect or a track record.
