Smile Ryan Giggs: Portrait of a family man and role model

http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/...odel_1_3408328

Published on Monday 23 May 2011 17:22

Quote:
RYAN Giggs is widely seen as one of the finest modern-day role models for his sport.

The 37-year-old has been consistently admired for the way he has handled fame and the pressures of top-flight football with professionalism and dignity.

He is also a family man, marrying his long-time partner Stacey Cooke in September 2007 in a ceremony attended by close relatives and friends. The couple’s children, Liberty and Zach, were part of the congregation.

There have been calls from politicians for him to receive a knighthood, and Sir Alex wrote in his foreword to Giggs’s autobiography Ryan Giggs: My Life, My Story, published last year: “How I would love to adorn my team sheet with the words ‘Sir Ryan Giggs’.”

It is thought that he has set his sights on managing Manchester United or Wales when he finally ends his playing career.

In a magazine interview last year, he said he could not get away with the things he did in his early 20s, such as going out drinking and eating fast food.

“I hardly drink any alcohol these days. I have taken up yoga, which is great. I just lead a more boring life.”
The irony .....

I doubt that many could have named his wife before all this. Has he ever done magazine shoots and celebrity stuff with his family? I don't think he has. I'd say he has kept his family life largely private. That is probably the reason he got (and was given) the privacy injunction in the first place.

True, he's tarnished that good guy rep now though.

Maybe, but no-one is perfect and it's always United that has pushed his perfect reputation.

Besides most football fans have forgiven players for off the field issues, this will soon be forgotten for the next scandal.

Question

I wonder if Giggs will dare to repeat the "blackmail" allegations once he has lost the protection of the protection of the courts .....
