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? :hehe:

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

I’d like to think you are correct, and hopefully Williams feels the same.
I’d sacrifice all my caps for a ‘foreign’ country, for just ONE for my real country.
Serves him right, for being selfish, and denying Welsh players caps for their national team.

I thought so but if there's any doubt I'll instead go for St Patrick ☘️ who's Welsh as they come based on the only criteria some on here believe matters 🙄
