Team mates: Giggs played alongside David Beckham in the match, which was for Gary Neville who retired from football earlier this year
Ryan Giggs has made his first public appearance following the revelations about his private life.
Giggs played the opening 30 minutes of a testimonial match for Gary Neville at Old Trafford alongside current and former Manchester United stars, including David Beckham.
His appearance comes just 24 hours after he was named in Parliament as the Premiership star who used a gagging order to hide details of a six-month affair with former Big Brother contestant Imogen Thomas.

On Sunday Stacey Giggs, 32, appeared beaming on the pitch at Old Trafford – with wedding ring on show – as she helped her husband celebrate Manchester United winning the Premier League.
But after the gagging order keeping secret his alleged relationship with former Big Brother contestant Imogen Thomas was rendered futile when it was exposed in Parliament, the couple apparently spent yesterday apart.
As the fallout from the affair continued, Miss Thomas yesterday told how the stress of the saga had affected her health.

And Giggs’s famously disciplinarian team manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, was caught by a television microphone demanding a reporter be banned from the club’s next press conference for asking a question about the 37-year-old winger.
The strain was plain to see on the face of the footballer as he left his home to prepare for this evening's fixture.
Giggs looked pained as he arrived at the training ground after apparently staying in a secret location. Last night he played half an hour of a testimonial match – but there was no sign of his wife at the ground.
And despite the claims now being public knowledge, the large crowd at the stadium gave Giggs a warm welcome.

However, Mrs Giggs, who has two young children by the £80,000-a-week star and who has stayed silent throughout the scandal, was pictured without her wedding ring leaving the couple’s gated £6million home near Manchester.
Police were later called to the street where the couple live after reports that a number of cars belonging to the paparazzi had been damaged.
Officers found that six vehicles had been attacked by a group of masked men who approached in a van.
