Aaron Ramsey? Ok technically caerfilthy, but seems strange to leave him out

[neil316]

Born in Caerphilly from what I looked at

[Steve R]

No Cameron Toshack?

[neil316]

not into a team like that

[Louth]

No Cameron Toshack?

Please tell me you're joking

[blue matt]

I would put Blakey into the team and ditch Giggs

the reason being pure and simple, you could never be sure Giggs would bother to turn up for a " cardiff born XI " if the game didnt matter or his boss thought it a better idea to play for his own team on the weekend, he could never be bothered with his county, thus a cardiff born XI mght be beneath him aswell

Cameron toshack

As in joking

Terry Yorath

John Parsons (sub at the Bernebau)

Caerphilly is only just over the twmp from me, so I tend to view it as a suburb of Cardiff .

Albeit a shit one

In a lot of English cities, the small towns on the periphery are desirable, posh even, places to live.

With the exception of parts of the vale, not so for Cardiff.
Caerphilly *should* be an up and coming place.
It has a stunning castle slap ban in the middle, its own shops and good transport links, yet it remains stubbornly crap.

I know what you mean. Could and perhaps should be like a big Cowbridge.

It's actually quicker for me to get there from my house than town, handy on a Saturday if I need to go to the bank, and their banks have actual people in there you can talk to.

I guess gentrification has been held off by average at best schools, crap housing stock and predominantly crap pubs and shops.
