    so is he English??????
    If he'd been a modern football player he'd have played for Wales.

    Stop trying to be clever, anyone with an ounce of knowledge knows he was Ingurlsh, whereas HENRY VII was born Welsh and I bet spoke it

    Her mum is from Maesteg. Probably more Welsh than a few international sportspeople.

    My 'work' with Ash is done, he's been brutally exposed, both as a footballer, and a person.
    In quieter moments, I like to search his name on twitter. You think I despise him?

    People will remember him as being a player who gave a lot to Wales whereas they may think of you as an embittered and obsessed poster on here, of course.

    Tens of thousands will remember the former. It's unlikely a couple of hundred will remember the latter!

    I’m satisfied that I exposed him to as many people as I possibly could. It was my duty. The guy is / was, a big phoney.

    P.S. Wales gave him far more than he ever gave Wales. Like a chance to play International football, when he had no chance of playing for his own country.

    I disagree, he most probably would have been capped by England. In these days of the top flight being dominated by non domestic players he was captaining a side regularly hovering around the top half of the Premier. If he hadn’t been capped by us, England would have included him at least once.

    Given the impact and how difficult it was to achieve, I'm going to go with Nye Bevan for giving us the NHS
    for wales? for the uk? for the world?
    I go for one of Saunders Lewis, Lewis Valentine or DJ Williams
