He did nothing at international level due to who he was playing alongside - I'm sure much the same thing will be able to be said about Bale over the next few years but no legitimate England fan would refuse him in the team if they had the option.
Again you're missing the point - Wiltshire said only English players should qualify for England. If Giggs' choice had been based on a fan (or even a player) vote he'd never have turned out for Wales.

I'm pretty sure that overall most fans would prefer a GB team.

No, again a BRITISH team would be the preference.
