    Embarrassing isn't it. One of the greatest Welsh rugby players of all time being displayed in a Welsh rugby top just across the street from the home of Welsh rugby in the Welsh capital.

    Well it is if you think Wales is living in a bubble

    The mural was a celebration of a mixed race footballer playing for Wales

    It's been replaced by a white bloke from North Wales

    What do you think of the Swansea city supporting Gareth Edwards statue in Cardiff ?

    It should be in Ammanford or wherever he's from

    Footballer? The mural was of a journalist from Butetown promoting the Wales away shirt (whilst celebrating the diversity of the city)

    The mural was based on George Berry, Welsh Centre half

    Aneurin Bevan and John Batchelor were from Tredegar and Newport respectively, both have statues in the city centre

    What's your thoughts on the Gary Speed mural on the way to the City ground? He's from Flintshire, pretty much as far from Cardiff as you can get.

    The mural wasn't of a Welsh footballer, not sure where you got that from.

    "Nicole, who studied fashion promotion and is the editor of Docks Magazine"

    The last mural got painted over for a McDonald's advert. Yes this is also an advert, but at least it has some connection to the place it's being painted.

    It's based on an image of George Berry , it's in the original article

    The Gary Speed one is iconic for very obvious reasons

    BBC News - Cardiff mural celebrating diversity painted over by advert
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-64467137

    It's a homage to George Berry who was one of Wales first black footballers who old gits like me will remember

    It's in the article towards the bottom
