Premier League Dropped Ryan Giggs from Hall of Fame Due to Domestic Abuse Trial
- •The Premier League reportedly removed Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs from its original Hall of Fame induction list.
- •Giggs was initially slated as an inaugural inductee alongside Alan Shearer but was omitted due to his domestic abuse trial.
- •The scheme was delayed by COVID-19, and by the time it resumed, Giggs faced serious allegations, leading to Thierry Henry's induction instead.
- •Giggs was cleared of charges in July 2023 after his former partner withdrew evidence, and he expressed relief.
- •Critics highlight perceived hypocrisy, noting other inductees like Eric Cantona, Tony Adams, John Terry, and Rio Ferdinand have criminal convictions or disciplinary records.
