GIGGS BELONGS WITH GREATS
The Hall thing's a shambles

PERHAPS those behind the idea should rename it the 'Hall of Blame'.

Because whoever is responsible for deciding the inductees, they still believe Ryan Giggs to be guilty of something the law no longer does.

What other explanation is there for the fact Giggs has been snubbed once again in the latest round of nominations for the Premier League's Hall of Fame? The same Giggs who won 13 titles with Manchester United.

Which remains an individual record. And one which might never be broken.

Jermain Defoe, Robbie Fowler, Les Ferdinand and Michael Owen have all been shortlisted, though.

Despite the fact that between them, this quartet won a combined total of 13 fewer league titles than Giggs did.

I'm not suggesting this lot don't deserve to be on the shortlist, because all of them were wonderful footballers.
