You got your guy from Harrods to send her shoes, bags, and dresses.”A jury failed to reach a verdict in August 2022 and Giggs — who always denied any wrongdoing — made a point of publicly thanking “my girlfriend Zara” for support.He faced a retrial but in 2023 the Crown Prosecution Service withdrew all charges after Kate said she did not want to give evidence, citing the toll the first trial had taken on her mental health. Judge Hilary Manley then told Manchester crown court: “I formally enter not guilty verdicts in respect of each of the three counts.”Giggs’s lawyer Chris Daw said at the time: “Mr Giggs is deeply relieved the prosecution has finally come to an end after almost three years in which he’s been fighting throughout to clear his name.“He’s now been found not guilty of all the charges and going forward would like to rebuild his life and career as an innocent man.”Giggs stepped down from his job as Wales national team manager in June 2022 ahead of the first trial. He has since been trying to rebuild his life out of the spotlight.Last month it emerged he was working again as Salford City’s director of football.Giggs is co-owner of the League Two club along with his ex-United team-mates Gary and Phil Neville, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes.Ryan and Zara are thrilled at the prospect of becoming parents againSourceFlying winger Giggs joined the Red Devils as a 14-year-old and went on to win 13 Premier League titles, four FA Cups, three League Cups and two Champions Leagues.He made 963 appearances and managed the club for four games at the end of the 2014 season after David Moyes was sacked.He then worked as an assistant to Louis van Gaal for two years before leaving when Jose Mourinho was appointed manager.READ MORE SUN STORIESHe won 64 Wales caps and was appointed national team boss in January 2018.

      Micah Richards reveals son’s incredible football talent as Gary Lineker jokes ‘are you sure you’re the father?’

      by

      GARY LINEKER left Alan Shearer in hysterics with a joke at Micah Richards’ expense. The trio of ex-England stars were appearing on the fan favourite show The Rest Is Football podcast.Gary Lineker’s shared a brutal joke about Micah RichardsCredit: The Rest is FootballIt came as they discussed parenting advice for budding young footballersCredit: Twitter / @ALOTODuring a segment where they fielded questions from fans at home, one fan asked for parenting tips for their child getting into football.Lineker, 63, asked Richards if he wanted to start due to the former Manchester City defender going through something similar with his seven-year-old son.Richards, 35, said: “He’s seven. He’s started playing and he scored eight goals the other day just for a local team. He’s actually very good.”This revelation stunned Lineker, who asked: “Going forward?”READ MORE IN FOOTBALLRichards continued: “He just sort of runs everywhere.”Lineker then joked: “Are you sure you’re the father,” before bursting into laughter and apologising.The comment had both Richards and Shearer, 53, in stitches.After the brief pause in their regular programme, Lineker explained he would want his child to simply “enjoy the game”, adding that you will find out how good you are along the way.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSRichards added: “Exactly. It’s difficult isn’t it because there’s so much pressure on youngsters now isn’t there.”The problem with me is I don’t get to see him play all the time because I work Saturday’s and the games are Saturday mornings. ‘Sorry I didn’t get the memo’, says Gary Lineker as he teases BBC pundits for ‘Gareth Southgate appreciation’ outfits”If I’ve got to get to a Match of the Day, I can only watch the first half.”Lineker must have remembered that Richards appeared on MOTD over the weekend as he said: “If he scored eight goals the other day you probably saw a few of them?”To which Richards responded: “Yeah I saw a few, but I just put my hood up on the sideline. “I don’t shout anything, encourage anything. I just let him breathe. Let him enjoy the game. That’s what I do.”Shearer also shared: “When I used to watch my son when he played when he was younger, it used to infuriate me that some of the parents were shouting and screaming.”I was thinking, ‘Just let the kids play man, stop swearing, stop shouting, stop screaming, shut up and just let the kids enjoy it.”FA crackdown on parent abuse on at grassrootsIn 2022 the FA unveiled a new initiative to crack down on parents spouting abuse on the touchline of grassroots football games towards both players and referees.
      The scheme urged spectators to let youngsters “make mistakes and make their own decisions” without being harassed and to clap good play.
      The idea was devised amid fears youth league fans, and players, were picking up bad habits from watching Premier League matches.
      Anyone in breach of the FA’s Respect Codes of Conduct “may be asked to leave the venue or asked not to attend future games”.
      FA boss Mark Bullingham said the plan would help kids focus on their game with no distractions.
      However, some club bosses were not convinced it would change attitudes.
      Alan Moore, director of youth club Sedgley and Gornal United FC in the West Mids, said: “I applaud any initiative to stop some of the crazy behaviour I’ve seen, but this isn’t it.
      I don’t care if it’s woke or nannying, I just know it’ll take more than this gesture to solve the problem.”

      Lineker echoed this sentiment by revealing it was his biggest “pet hate in the world”.The former Leicester man then recalled his own son’s first foray’s into football, though pre-empted the story with an apology to his eldest, George.Lineker said: “Forgive me George. George was by his own admission not the most gifted of footballers. “I remember standing on the side seeing him play one day, he’d try and he’d enjoy it and I never said a word. I just stood on the sidelines and watched, with all my kids, I never said anything other than I’d applaud if they did well and even if they didn’t.”I remember watching George and someone’s mother came up and said, is that your lad up there and I go, ‘Yeah’. And then she said, ‘I thought he’d be better than that’.”READ MORE SUN STORIESIn an exclusive interview with The Sun, George admitted he had found it difficult to cope with the pressure of having a footballing dad like his father.CBS Sports presenter Kate Abdo similarly shared her own emotional story from childhood about her experiences with football and her late father.Lineker with his eldest son, GeorgeCredit: PA More
