    This isn't Vinny Jones, these lads buy into it and want to be Welsh and play for Wales. Darlow apart, he turned us down so should have been binned off (although if he turns out to be class I'll undoubtedly end up forgiving him)
    Ashley Williams was a rock in the defence, if only we had another one coming through now. I remember when the jacks snatched him from Stockport for nothing that we missed out, Dave jones didn’t fancy him for £250k?

      Vinny Jones took it completely seriously. He's very proud of his Wales caps, and can still sing the national anthem

        I remember being amongst a dub 10,000 crowd at the Millennium Stadium and remarking during the anthems that Vinnie Jones was a better player than Ryan Giggs, bloke in front of me turns around in disgust telling me how daft I was. I think my reply made him reconsider…. ‘Well he is tonight’.

          That sounds like a verse from the song ' Walking in Memphis " by Mark Cohn.

            Oh I thought he'd come out and said some disparaging things a few years back, it must have been someone else then. Good on him, hopefully he's not a member of this board :yikes:

              A “rock” ? ….he’s slow, can’t, tackle, and couldn’t head a bus queue! Not my words (although I totally agree), but Everton fans comments when he signed for them! He was found out big time when he actually had to do some defending, and not just tippy tap the ball back and forth his full backs, and occasionally throw himself into a ‘block’, like he did with the Jacks.

                He’d be even more proud if he had an England cap, and got to sing GSTQ at Wembley stadium.

                  I rather think that the “best moments of your life” were due more to the fact that we had the (one time) most expensive footballer in the World, and arguably the best British midfielder in our squad, not 3 or 4 English rejects.

                      youd have to ask him that.

                      all I know is he's still proud of it all these year later, he could have washed his hands of it but hasn't

                        I don’t really think you need to ask an Englishman if he’d be proud to play football for England at Wembley

                          Au contraire….I'm certain we wouldn’t make a semi final without Bale and Ramsey, and Davis, not so sure we couldn’t make it without a few English journeymen.

                            Yeah, those three ‘English’ goalscorers against Belgium were absolutely mourning that they weren’t involved against Iceland a few days earlier.

                              Well by your own admission we'd have lost 2-0 to Belgium at the quarters for a start.

                              Also, it's Ben Davies - Davis is the English way of spelling it :facepalm:

                                Not everyone has the same polarised view of nationality as you do.

                                a huge number of people in Wales have some English heritage and vice versa
