My private life is my private life. The player's agent is reported to have said: "I'm shocked. This is incredible. I can't believe it. He's such a family man. Even a player of the stature of Giggs is not safe. Just to play devil's advocate, I can argue that the private life of footballers shouldn't be of any concern if their football does the talking.
Footballers shouldn't be treated as cult heroes. They shouldn't be worshipped as demi-gods. What matters is football and, as long as these players perform, their private life shouldn't be of anyone's concern. It's the decision of the public to make these footballers a role model. After all, they're also bare mortals and sultry models like Imogen Thomas could prove to be too much of a temptation to turn away from.
That's entirely private. However, that doesn't mean players should hide under the safety blanket of super-injunctions.
They must show some guts to reveal it like a man to the entire world rather than resorting to hide-and-seek games. Giggs has achieved so much in his illustrious career. He's one of the all-time best players of the Premier League era. We will just have to wait and see how much of this self-inflicted shame will affect his popularity. Being such a senior figure, even Sir Alex Ferguson may struggle to hold a talk with Giggs about this disgraceful escapade that incurs ignominy on the player as well as his club.
It's not one off case. He was fighting a losing battle. At the weekend, a newspaper in Scotland published a photograph of Giggs and football fans mockingly chanted his name at a match with a worldwide audience.
