Manchester United football star, Ryan Giggs, has traced his family tree back to Sierra Leone. The Man Utd and Wales winger, 35, had been studying his genealogy and discovered his dad's grandparents were from the African state. It prompted Giggsy to visit Sierra Leone with Unicef to raise awareness of HIV. Now lets see if he faces any racial abuse when he plays in Spain! The Old Trafford superstar revealed that he was impressed by the courage of sufferers he met. He told ITV's News at Ten: "You hear all the time that a footballer is brave going into a tackle or going up for a header. That's not bravery. "A 21-year-old lad who was telling me that he's HIV positive and that he wants to educate other people, that he wants to help stop it happening to others - that's bravery." Source: thesun.co.uk
