As a manchester united fan i take exception to this thread. Think you'll find that this particular Giggy is a tad younger than the now sedate Welsh wizard of yore  Coops - It was bound to happen. It really really was!! You can do what I do with these; ignore it Giggy - you carry on mate. If others want to play WA with you, that's fine by us  |

I started partially as a joke just to see what would happen, if people carry it on then all the better.

As a manchester united fan i take exception to this thread. Surely the Man U player would be Giggsy rather than Giggy? I prefer to call him "The stupid twunt who could have played for England but chose Wales because he thought it would be easier to become an International player, and in a way was correct but seeing as Wales are rubbish will never play in a major tournament". |

Giggs could never have played for England, even if he wanted to.

Not that it matters that much now, but it COULD have been arranged for Giggsy to play for England. After all he did play for England schoolboys. He made a few choices. He was once Ryan Wilson, son of Danny Wilson, a talented half-back for Swinton Rugby League and he was a schoolboy player for Manchester City. When his parents split he took his Mom's name instead.
He and Nicky Butt mysteriously disappeared from the City set-up and ended up with the Rags. At the time Giggsy chose Wales, they were "cool cymru" and looking like easy qualifiers for USA 94 'til cocking it up in the last few qualifiers, while England were going nowhere under Turnip Taylor.
Giggsy's true commitment to the Welsh cause can be seen in his record of friendly appearances for the principality....

Giggs could never have played for England, even if he wanted to. But didn't he play for one of the England youth teams? *EDIT* Just read the post above mine! D'oh! |

Back to the subject of Word Association Threads.
I recall, Coops, that it was YOU who started the original WA thread on another forum.
HA. What have you to say to that then, eh?

I think the rule with Schoolboy internationals is that you play for the country where you go to School (not unsensible really) but past the Schoolboy stages you can only play for your country of origin, and since Giggs was born in Cardiff, to a Welsh Mother and Father, than logically he had as much chance of playing for England as he did for the Cameroon.

I think you can go back as far as grandparents.... definately having a parent from another country is enough to play for them... I can't think of any off hand, but there are a lot of players playing for international teams who were not born in the country.... I did hear of one player who didn't even speak the same language as his international teamates.... I'm sure someone will enlighten me with his name! |
