FOOTBALL star Ryan Giggs has a kid brother he has never met — who loves rugby.
Talented Beau Wilson, 11, resembles Ryan, now 49, as he wheels away in celebration on the pitch.

He shares his brother’s lightning speed but not his love for Man United — as he supports Liverpool.
Their dad, Danny Wilson, 67, said: “It’s uncanny, I watched Ryan play all his games as a youngster and now history is repeating itself in a different sport.”
Giggs was called Ryan Wilson until he was 16 and his parents split.
He grew estranged from his former rugby-pro dad, who says Beau has no interest in Ryan.
He said: “He doesn’t want to know. It’s a shame because if Ryan saw him play he’d be very proud.”
Danny was at Cardiff Arms Park to watch his son’s team in a Wales under-12s final.
Beau played centre, the same position as his dad, to help Llandaff North beat Builth Wells 10-5.
Security worker Danny said: “It takes me back to when Ryan was the same age and playing football in Manchester.”
He last met him more than 15 years ago.
Ryan is due to stand trial in July for alleged assault and coercive behaviour against an ex-girlfriend.
