Yates continues to surprise & astonish people but has been doing so for several years. I recall being not particularly impressed by him as he rose through the youth teams believing him to lack the requisite skill set & pace to go all the way. No one though could ever doubt the confidence & leadership qualities of ‘Giggsy’.
It is fantastic - and inspiring - to witness the sheer determination of a young player to achieve his goals.
Wouldn’t it be just great if the ‘ugly duckling’ of the youth team turned out to be a real star!
