You never know....Giggsy chose Wales when he could've played for England!
Giggs said: `I'd rather go through my entire career without qualifying for a major championships than play for a country where I wasn't born and neither I or either of my parents had anything to do with. That's just stupid.'
`The problem came because I played for England Schoolboys. But that was because I went to school in England, no other reason, that was the criteria for selection, not where you were born.

What has bugged me more than anything in my career is to keep on hearing people say I chose to play for Wales. I still hear it, people discussing it on the radio even now, it's very, very annoying for me.
`It's the question that has bugged me most for the last 10 years or so. I am Welsh, 100 percent. End of story. Both my parents and all my grandparents are Welsh. It's as simple as that, it's impossible for me to play for England.'
