RILING GIGGS

Star’s retort as fan goads him

- BY PHIL CARDY

SOCCER legend Ryan Giggs hit back at a Manchester City fan who mocked him about his fling with his sister-in-law.

They clashed as the Manchester United ace stepped off a train.

The fan leaned out of the train window and shouted: “Where you off Giggsy, slipping your brother’s missus one?” Giggs (below), 43, replied: “Pardon, you going to your council house?”

A clip of the exchange at Stockport station after last Sunday’s Community Shield was posted on a Man City fan page on Twitter. Giggs’ reply led to claims he was being dismissive of people living in council houses. One fan wrote: “Interestin­g comment, what does he think of the working classes/football fans?” But another pointed out that the Council House was the name United fans gave to City’s Etihad stadium, which was leased from the council after the 2002 Commonweal­th Games in Manchester. On Friday, dad-of-two Giggs’ wife Stacey, 39, was granted a divorce in London. Their 10-year marriage was rocked by his flings, including an eight-year affair with brother Rhodri’s wife Natasha.
