Is Ryan Giggs mixed race?

Should every united fan know his grandfather is from Sierra Leone then? I generally never new this, didn't realise i had to tbh.

Where is Wes Brown's grandfather from? Paul Scholes' Grandfather?

I think we need a Grandfather squad list.

I think the question is...why didn't he play for Sierra Leone?

Because he isn't English.

He wasn't keen on the diamond formation.

You don't but Giggs wasn't qualified to play for England, he was born in Wales to 2 Welsh parents.

Despite that obvious handicap, he didn't turn out too bad....

He played for the schoolboys so he did qualify. I have an abiding memory that he decided against England because he thought he would struggle to get in the side ahead of John Barnes, although I could have just heard some dial a pundit say that on tv when I was a kid.
