The Premier League 'shelved plans' for Man United legend Ryan Giggs to be inducted into their Hall of Fame when he faced trial for domestic abuse of his ex-girlfriend. Giggs, 52, had been intended to be an inaugural member of the Hall of Fame alongside Alan Shearer after the Premier League launched the concept, borrowing from the model in American sports. The Welshman was then quietly withdrawn from the process because of the charges he faced, according to the Telegraph. The first players to be committed to the Hall of Fame were supposed to be announced in 2020 but there was a delay due to the pandemic. In the time that then passed, the nomination committee were aware of the developments with Giggs and his accuser, opting to leave him off their list, according to the report. Giggs was cleared in July 2023 after allegations he assaulted his ex-girlfriend and her sister. #manchesterunited #manutd #mufc #ryangiggs #premierleague
