Ryan Giggs ‘fuming at late Prem Hall of Fame snub as Thierry Henry took Man Utd legend’s place alongside Alan Shearer’

RYAN GIGGS has reportedly been left fuming after being snubbed in the Premier League Hall of Fame.

Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer are the first inductees – with Giggs being replaced by former Arsenal star Henry at the last minute.

Ryan Giggs is reportedly shocked he has been omitted from the Premier League’s Hall of Fame

The Mirror reports that ‘Giggs has been left shocked’ by the snub and was ‘dropped at the last minute after being charged with assaulting two women’.

The charges follow an alleged bust-up with ex-girlfriend Kate Greville at his mansion.

SunSport has since exclusively revealed that the 47-year-old former Manchester United ace could face up to FIVE YEARS in prison.

Football idol Giggs was alleged to have ‘controlled’ his ex-girlfriend for three years.

He was charged with coercive and controlling behaviour against PR executive Greville.

Giggs was further charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm to Kate, 36.

He is also accused of common assault of another woman in her 20s.

Giggs won 13 league titles with United, is the club’s record appearance maker and is the most decorated player to have ever played in England.

Thierry Henry reportedly took Ryan Giggs’ place alongside Alan Shearer

He got his hands on 34 trophies during some real glory years at Old Trafford including two Champions Leagues, four FA Cup wins and a Uefa Super Cup.

But his place alongside Newcastle and England legend Shearer was given to Henry.

The French striker scored 175 Premier League goals in 258 games and was the focal point of Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’ season.

Shearer remains the Premier League’s top scorer of all time with 260 goals.

The Mirror adds that Giggs is understood to be bitterly disappointed by the development.

The Premier League have not responded to request for comment.

Giggs has vowed to clear his name as the Welsh FA confirmed that his deputy Robert Page would take charge of the country’s team at this summer’s European Championships.

Meanwhile six more Hall Of Fame inductees will be named in the coming weeks after a fan vote kicks off on Monday evening.

Among the list of 23 Premier League heroes of yesteryear are David Beckham, Eric Cantona, Didier Drogba and Patrick Vieira.

English players John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Paul Scholes are also in there.
