Manchester United’s Ryan Giggs has roots from Sierra Leone

I just found out that Manchester United’s Ryan Giggs’ grandfather was an immigrant who moved to Wales from Sierra Leone . Ryan’s father Danny Wilson is of mixed Sierra Leonean and Welch ancestry and he played rugby for Cardiff RFC. That would make the very European looking Ryan Giggs eligible for Sierra Leonean citizenship. We should invite him to be a Goodwill Ambassador for Sierra Leone.
