"He was finally cleared of the allegations when the Crown Prosecution Service withdrew the charges in 2023, after his former partner Kate Greville stepped back from giving evidence at a retrial. The CPS said at the time: We have determined there is no longer sufficient evidence available to proceed in respect of the controlling or coercive behaviour charge and that it is no longer in the public interest to prosecute the remaining assault charges."
"Ryan Giggs was invited to become an inaugural member of the Premier League Hall of Fame in 2020, only for the offer to be withdrawn. Manchester United's record appearance-maker was chosen alongside Alan Shearer to become the first inductees to the Hall of Fame in 2020, only for the event to be postponed because of the Covid pandemic. At a rescheduled event in 2021, Giggs was replaced by Thierry Henry."
Ryan Giggs was invited as an inaugural member of the Premier League Hall of Fame in 2020 but the offer was withdrawn. He had been chosen alongside Alan Shearer before the induction was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic; at a rescheduled 2021 event Giggs was replaced by Thierry Henry. Giggs faced charges in April 2021 of coercive or controlling behaviour and assault; those charges were withdrawn by the Crown Prosecution Service in 2023 after his former partner stepped back from giving evidence. Since the collapse of the case there have been calls for his inclusion. Giggs made 963 United appearances, scored 168 goals and won 13 Premier League titles.
