Ryan Giggs is SNUBBED by the Premier League and kept off their Hall of Fame shortlist again – despite the 13-time title winner being cleared of domestic violence charges

Ryan Giggs has been snubbed again by the Premier League as they announced their latest Hall of Fame shortlist.

The Manchester United legend – who holds the record for the most assists in Premier League history and has won the title 13 times – has once again been left out of contention despite being cleared of domestic violence charges last year.

Giggs, 50, was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm over an alleged headbutt on ex-girlfriend Kate Greville, plus further charges of coercive or controlling behavior against her and common assault against her sister Emma.

But during a 10-minute hearing last July, the prosecutor offered no evidence and no guilty verdicts were returned regarding his charges.

While Giggs has been left out of the Premier League again, six of his former Manchester United teammates have made the 15-man shortlist.

Giggs is widely regarded as one of the Premier League’s greatest players of all time. He won the title thirteen times and topped the all-time assist charts after a legendary spell at Old Trafford.

The latest Premier League Hall of Fame shortlist includes twelve previous nominees
