And now to poor Imogen. How this footballer could have used this shy, non-assuming girl, for his own ends is shocking. She genuinely loved him and clearly would have felt the same had he been Ryan-the-Roofer. Poor Imogen was just incredibly unlucky that the man who stole her heart was a world famous footballer. It wasn’t the first time this type of bad luck had befallen our Imogen, just ask Jermain Defoe and if you can’t get hold of him try Russell Brand.
After leaving the lady heartbroken, the footballer then tried to deny her the therapy and healing that sharing her story with others would bring. They say it’s best to talk and share these things but Mr. Giggs denied this poor girl that chance. Sitting down with a friendly reporter from the Sun, supported by advisor Max Clifford, and letting all her feelings out would surely have been beneficial to her emotional well being at the time.
He’s used her; I’d forgotten her name until she appeared in the media again and now she is being chased by paparazzi. I hope she manages to cope with the intrusion.
People in normal life don’t have affairs but this behavior will only encourage the working class masses to do so. Before we know it they’ll be fornicating in the streets. Perhaps more sad than this is that my attempts to use footballers as a parental tool have yet again floundered. What with Wayne Rooney swearing at a camera and Ryan Giggs now using a poor innocent girl, I do wonder how I’m supposed to bring up my children properly.
We football fans have a lot to answer for, singing the names of these ‘men’ without fully taking into account their behaviour off the field. I hope the suffering of people like Imogen Thomas makes you think twice in future and you consider looking into a players private life, carrying out a CRB check and perhaps have them followed at night, before launching into tunes about how great a player is. As, clearly demonstrated by our two heroes of the week, what a footballer does outside of football is plainly relevant.
