The former footballer made the headlines in 2011 for betraying the trust of his family

Ryan Giggs' brother, Rhodri, has claimed he could 'bury' the Manchester United legend if he wants to.

Shockwaves were sent around world football back in 2011 when it emerged Giggs had been having an eight-year affair with Rhodri's wife, Natasha Lever.


The former Wales boss was married to wife Stacey at the time, with Giggs also having a fling with Welsh model Imogen Thomas.

Rhodri has regularly criticised his brother in the years since the scandal was uncovered.

And he's now revealed he could 'bury' Giggs if he wanted to - but insists he isn't bothered about selling stories to the media.

"All I've tried to be is a good father and husband and he's been out galivanting, and he's just an idiot," he told the Central Club.

"I know what it's about, they constantly think I was selling stories as a younger person because I was friendly with one reporter because I liked him.

"Doesn't mean I'm selling secret stories, and they still think it to this day.

"They're f***ing idiots, where's the proof? There is no proof.

"The only little thing is I would make up stories, I'd say his Bentley was black when it was blue.

"This is 27 years ago, we've been fine after it, but as soon as all this s*** happens, because I sold my story on this, they're like, he's at it again.

"I wasn't going to [on this occasion], because I spoke to Ryan about getting our relationship back together again but he had to do that, I'm not going to instigate it, and I had nothing for six or seven months.

"If I was going to sell some stories I'd have done it last year and buried this p****, buried him.

"There's some stories I know that could have buried him, so if I wanted to sell stories I'd do it, but why would I want to do that? Why? I wouldn't.

"I'm not that bitter and not that twisted, but he needs to be careful, because I could have.

"A lot of people could have, but they didn't, and it's all from him making the choices he's made, no one else.

"You can't go through life and this nice, innocent family man when you're banging everything in sight.

"How old is he, 48, 49? He needs to grow the f*** up."

Rhodri does say, however, that he's open to talking to his brother all these years on.

"He can ring me whenever he wants," he said.

"I've moved on, I've got a new career working in schools. All the s*** that I've gone through in life, I've dealt with it on my own mostly."

He made a stunning 963 appearances for the club before retiring back in the summer of 2014.

Giggs spent time working as Louis van Gaal's No 2 at Old Trafford and was hopeful of landing the top job in 2016.
