    A good read, thanks - that Caesar Jenkyns sounds a right clogger!

    A couple of things I hope you won't mind me pointing out;-

    1. The spelling of Caesyr Jenkins in the caption that appears under the photograph of him is different from how it appears in the body of the article.

    2. It looks like you've missed out the number of goals Aaron Ramsey has scored for Arsenal.

    From what i found the name under the photo is the incorrect one as every other source had it as Jenkyns.

    With Ramsey's goals, yeah i only found that out after, i can only apologise for that. Thank you, will make sure to rectify these in future:)

    Did you omit Rhys Weston, because he wasn't born in Wales ?

    Im pretty sure that as a result of the goal let in by Dan Lewis, theres an Arsenal tradition/superstition of Arsenal keepers not wearing new jerseys.

    Signed a fellow Maerdy boy!

    Re: The Arsenal Welsh

    That’s a great article made all the better for the photos of each player and details of the beginnings of Arsenal FC
    Just one thing. When you refer to Ramsey’s career there is a sentence that does not quite make sense. It’s the bit about his career being temporarily stopped.

    Re: The Arsenal Welsh

    It was a fascinating article. There were a number of Welsh lads playing for Arsenal in the 50’s and then a huge gap of 40 years before Hartson made an impact.

    Re: The Arsenal Welsh

    there were a couple in between like peter nicholas but i felt he made more of an impact at other clubs

    Re: The Arsenal Welsh

    Nice article, I think its much more interesting as a timeline like this, than as an XI

    That is very plausible if that's true given the superstition of football fans players ect

    hope you don't mind, but I've just posted your article on an Arsenal site. prob should've asked first, but it was a really good read & just wanted to spread your piece. Thanx

    Re: The Arsenal Welsh

    Seems in the main that being Welsh and playing for Arsenal shortens your life expectancy a bit.
