Thread: Does anyone live by a City Player?

    Does anyone live by a City Player?

    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.

    Impressive list-Smelt definitely played a few games for us, i used to speak to him when i was a kid, he used to do press ups and sit ups on the bit of grass outside his house!

    I wasn't doubting your knowledge but questioning the list which I think could be flawed, or at least not an exhaustive one.

    My knowledge on Lee Smelt-I suppose it's a compliment.....

    I was cycling through Dinas village the other day and nearly got knocked down by a tank of a vehicle coming out of a drive. I only got a glance of the driver as he braked and I rode past, he was a black guy. I thought to myself that he was probably a footballer if he lived round there and then immediately cursed myself for the lazy racial stereotype. As the car overtook me I looked at the number plate and it had BA MBA in there so it turned out I was right, albeit for the wrong reasons.

    There's also no Lee Jones-A local lad who played a few games at Fullback early nineties, or Robin semark, Jamie Unsworth-Both early nineties-i'd say that the list is foo, unless a player had to make a certain amount of appearances to get on it.

    Didn't think Dinas was that desirable, just a toilet stop on route to Barry.

    I wouldn't even risk getting out for a toilet stop in that place.

    I won't be too specific but the part I'm talking about looks pretty exclusive.

    I remember Lee Smelt. I've met Phil Brignull through our sons' friendship and he's still blaming Smelt for three of the goals at Bolton in '86. Phil's such a nice bloke that I haven't got the heart to tell him to let it go.

    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.

    Layton Maxwell used to live behind the Glamorgan Wanderers, used to go out and play football with kids in the street.

    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.

    Still some nice parts I think but had some beautiful houses in the old village and on The Common. I’m guessing city players would still live in these areas - was there about a month ago and still some special homes there.

    I remember reading that The Twyncyn in Dinas is the most expensive residential street in Wales.
