His old man had a few pubs over the years, I remember when he took over the royal tudor after Dai Thomas left in the late seventies. He also ran the retreat in Llanedeyrn and the napier of course.
Let's try and get the thread back on track.
Super star?
There used to be a picture of Dai Bishop and John Actie in the Royal Oak as kids playing for St Cadocs.
They looked hard even then 😂😂
as well as representing his country in 4 different sports he also played for the great britain rugby league side too . i guess that is a some kinda record ? my lad has represented Wales in 2 different sports but not famous .lol.
can anyone name a famous sports person that has represented there country is say at least 2 sports ?
Super thug more like!
I remember being in the Top Rank in '78 at a Siouxsie & The Banshees gig, when him and his thugy henchmen attacked and badly beat up a couple of students for not being 'punk'. Punched and attacked them from behind - there's brave!! FFS you can't be more 'establishment' in Wales than being on the brink of international honours in rugby union. He only escaped going inside by the skin of hide, as his solicitor grovelled to the Magistrates bench, about him being an up n' coming rugby star
I took the piss out of him on the real radio sports phone in for supporting Leeds and Johnathan Davies for being a man united fan and he took it on the chin
Leighton James however got really wound up and couldn't see the hypocrisy of Welsh people cheering on the Welsh rugby side against England one Saturday and supporting English football teams the following weekend
As long as we beat the English and all that crap sung by Kelly Jones , a fecking Leeds fan
It went straight over Leighton's head
As for bishop a tremendous all round sportsman
I was told he challenged a well known lunatic from Tremorfa one night outside the troubadour club and the Tremorfa lad gave him a hiding.
Sounds like a really nice bloke.
