When was the last time we had the current Wales captain in our ranks?
Never?Originally Posted by splott parker
Yes. Fred Keenor. Was captain v Scotland when City's Jimmy Blair was also Scotland's captain..
Fred Keenor captained Wales while he was at City.
Yeah, I thought he probably had, wouldn’t be surprised if someone like Alf Sherwood, John Charles or Ivor Allchurch captained Wales in the odd game when they were City players either.
Keenor was the one that came to my mind, I imagine that he was the ‘not the one off’ captain (for want of a better description) given our status at the time. Couldn’t think of anyone else who was actually the ‘official’ skipper. Mike England didn’t actually play for Wales whilst with us I believe.
Im sure Kevin Ratcliffe was capped whilst with us. Im not sure if he was still the captain though.
Craig Bellamy 2010-11
Mike England.?
I don't think he should be the Wales captain, but that's a discussion for another day!
Possibly Alf Sherwood.
Out of interest who would you pick?
Not blessed with standout candidates at the moment.
Anybody who can play the whole match, and besides that Rambo needs to focus on his own game without the added responsibility of being the captain.
Joe Ledley captained Wales. Was he at City at the time?
Don’t think so but Joe was never Wales’ captain in the same vein as Ramsey, Bale, Speed, Williams, Ratcliffe etc. Ivor May have captained Wales whilst with us, I’m not sure but I’m on about ‘official, long term type skippers’.
If we are very lucky!
According to Wiki, Rob Page captained Wales once - against Hungary in Feb 2005. That month he left CCAFC and joined CCFC.
Whether that match was before or after his move I don't know.
