Giggs was born in Cardiff, but attended Grosvenor Road Primary School and Moorside High in Swinton after his family had moved there. He played football for Salford Boys before joining Torquay United as a trainee, going under the name Rhodri Jones to avoid comparisons with his famous older brother. His time as a trainee was not a happy one and he left halfway through his traineeship and temporarily quit football. He attempted to resurrect his footballing career - three years later at the age of 19, heading north and having trials with Scottish outfit Hearts, eventually ending up playing with Livingston (for only six months).
Would've been 1993 when he left us, doubt he played in the first team at all as he was only 16.

Can't remember the exact reasons but I believe there were various misdemeanors and he eventually left before he got kicked out.
Seemed to be one of those players that people were hoping he'd become like his brother, but just failed.
And just for irony sake, if you google him, theres lots of information about his Wife cheating on him. Like brother, like sister in law!

If it is true, that poor bloke. Completely clueless while his missus shags his brother for 8 years and also shags 3 other United players!
