None in Birchgrove that i know of, although no surprise with the money that they earn. I can remember Lee smelt (anyone else remember him)living in Pentwyn and Grahame Moseley living in Roath, Maybe goalkeepers are more social. I don't even see any City players about, i imagine the younger ones are stuck behind some gated community in South Cardiff.
I remember Lee Smelt but I'm now wondering Did he play for City coz he's not on hereQuote:

None in Llanrumney that I know of.
I’m surprised given how beautiful the place is....
Llanrumney is alright, beats Rumney and Trowbridge hands down!Quote:

Smelt is also one of the answers to the question 'What happened when someone farted at a Cardiff City reunion?'- Pat Heard, Lee Smelt and Paul Went.
you must be getting old if you need a toilet stop before you get to BarryQuote:

I remember Lee Smelt. 1986ish.
I always thought parts of Dinas were quite posh. I'm from Barry though.
I grew up in Dinas Powys - One of my mates at the time lived in Powys Gardens and Adrian Alston was his next door neighbour.Quote:

I remember reading that The Twyncyn in Dinas is the most expensive residential street in Wales.
gotta be expensive to beat marine parade penarthQuote:

This is probably what I read, a few years old now so may have changed a bit, or perhaps rankings are just based on what happens to have on the market/sold in the period so go up and down year-by-year accordingly: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-12595774Quote:
