John Toshack

Re: John Toshack

Arguably the most significant Welsh man in the history of the game taking into account both his playing and managerial experience.

Re: John Toshack

Interesting to see that John Toshack made a rare public appearance at Real Sociedad, and received a hero’s welcome. He’s not been well and looks ill, to be honest, but it’s good to see him up and about. I did wonder what sort of reception he would get at Cardiff these days. To some he’d be a legend; to others, a Jack traitor; while there will be many who will remember him only as an ex-Wales manager. Bit sad, really.

My first ever Cardiff City 'hero'. Local Canton boy made good. My uncle used to go out drinking with his dad.

Re: John Toshack

I'm sure he would get a great reception at Cardiff. His time with Wales was seen so much more positively afterwards than it was when he was manager. I think a lot of us appreciated that
his blooding of so many youngsters was absolutely the right thing to do.
Glad he's still with us. He was touch and go with covid a few years ago.
