Giggs’ prolific womanising featured prominently in his trial at Manchester Crown Court with the former footballer admitting that had never been faithful to any woman he was in a relationship with.

Eight women were mentioned by first name only by Kate Greville in a heart breaking ‘final goodbye’ letter to Giggs, which she never sent but was read out in court.

MailOnline has established the identity of some.

A female member of staff at the club told MailOnline: ‘Giggs was always turning up at office parties and showed a lot of interest in some of the girls. He was well known for it.

‘He was always at Christmas dos and leaving dos even though none of the other players attended. It was a bit of a joke in the office amongst the girls and that’s why he got given those nicknames. Randy Ryan and Welsh Wanderer sums it all up.’

She added: ‘He had a certain type that he went for and if there was a party at the club and some of them were going to be there, you could bet your last pound that so too would Giggs.’

Regarding one woman named by Ms Greville in the letter, an eyewitness recalled how she and Giggs kicked off their fling after leaving an office Christmas party at Old Trafford, Manchester United’s home ground and went into a locked room.

They are believed to have continued their affair while he was seeing Ms Greville.

The eyewitness added: ‘They walked out of the party hand in hand, right in front of everybody and were locked away in a room for quite a while. We all knew what was going on, they weren’t trying to hide it.’

Another woman started having a relationship with Giggs when she was in the US with the team during a pre-season tour.

A source said: ‘They were in Washington DC when her and Giggs got it together. The affair lasted for more than a year and went on at the same time as he was with Kate.’

Regarding one woman named by Ms Greville in the letter, an eyewitness recalled how she and Giggs kicked off their fling after leaving an office Christmas party at Old Trafford, Manchester United’s home ground and went into a locked room.

Another woman helped provide entertainment on match days at Old Trafford when she met Giggs and started an illicit relationship with him.

Another worked in football PR and represents a United player.

While giving evidence during his three-week trial, Giggs confessed that describing him as a ‘love cheat’ was justified and that in addition to being known for football, he also had a reputation for infidelity.

Chris Daw, QC, representing Giggs asked him: ‘In the course of your relationship with women, up to and including Ms Greville, have you managed to be faithful to any of them?’ Giggs replied: ‘No.’

The barrister then asked: ‘If an attractive woman has shown you interest regardless of your marital status, are you about to resist?’

Giggs replied ‘no’ and agreed that he was a ‘flirt by nature.’

His abuse trial also heard claims the footballer cheated on Ms Greville with eight women including ‘Helen, Zara, Natalie, Suzie, Kelly and Steff’ during their relationship.

The women who the footballer allegedly slept with were named in a ‘final goodbye’ letter written by Ms Greville, 36, in which she called Giggs a ‘liar and a cheat’. 

She did not give their surnames, although she provided some biographical details. 

Among the women mentioned in the letter was an employee of Giggs’ Hotel Football – which he co-owns with ex-teammates Gary Neville and Paul Scholes – who she claimed he was messaging about having a ‘threesome’ with.

Ms Greville also accused the former Wales midfielder, 48, of having sex with someone who is ‘married to that cricketer now’ and charming another woman by getting his ‘guy at Harrods to send shoes, bags and dresses’.

The court heard Ms Greville never sent Giggs the letter, which was written on October 29, 2020 – three days before he allegedly assaulted her. Instead she sent it to a friend, who responded: ‘Better than watching Jeremy Kyle that’.

In the note, read out in court during Giggs’ domestic assault trial, the PR executive wrote: ‘My gut has always told me that you couldn’t be trusted and that you’re a compulsive liar and serial cheat. I really did love you.

‘I wanted to believe the things you told me but I know now that the same things you say to me, you say to multiple women.

‘At least these other women have husbands, kids, boyfriends or go on to have them. I’m not so special. I stayed loyal and committed to you no matter what and what have I got for it? Nothing at all.

‘I think you underestimated my ability to find things out. For five years I haven’t really wanted to know the truth. Since Xmas there were so many things that didn’t add up. It was a case of me putting my head in the sand. You’re probably surprised that I didn’t find out sooner.’

Ms Greville then mentioned several women by name, including one woman, Helen, who she claimed Giggs was in a ‘full on proper relationship with’ while sleeping with her.

She claimed Giggs was in a relationship with another woman, named as Zara, ‘for a year’. She added: ‘I know about Natalie and Susie. All going on when you were with me. Kelly and Zara.

‘You met a woman at the Stafford that you confused me for. I know you were sending messages about sex and threesomes with Charlotte while you were sleeping with me and Helen.

Among the women mentioned in the letter was an employee of Giggs’ Hotel Football – which he co-owns with ex-teammates Gary Neville and Paul Scholes

‘When I asked you, you denied the whole thing. You paid for her to stay at the Stafford too. I know all about Steff.

‘She’s married to that cricketer now. I know that you had a full blown affair with her in 2014. You were having sex with her while you were seeing me.

‘Let’s not forget about XXX (name redacted). It gives me smug smile every time I see her.

Ms Greville finished her letter, saying: ‘Goodbye. I can’t see anything changing with you. Goodbye Ryan, it has been extremely emotional.’

The trial also revealed Ms Greville’s dislike of Giggs’ ex wife, Stacey, who she had ‘massive issues’ with. 

The PR exec said: ‘She hated me. I didn’t meet the kids until a year after I moved back to Manchester and he kept the kids separate. It didn’t feel right the reasons why he didn’t introduce me.

‘Things didn’t add up. He would go out a lot and drink and I wouldn’t hear from him. If I was out with my friends and didn’t reply in 10 minutes I would get ‘Thumbs up’ or ‘Rude’ or he would block me. He said ‘You’re different when you’re drunk’ and ‘You’re obviously going to be with another guy tonight’. Eventually I didn’t go on nights out.

‘I asked him when he wanted to start a family and he said ‘I don’t want kids, I never said that’. That’s the reason I came back to Manchester.

‘I came back to work for him, he set it up and said why don’t you work for me and Gary.

‘It was like he was painting me out to Stacey I was a bad person and she showed the kids and they hated me. It was horrendous. She would say I never want you anywhere near my kids.’
