Looks like Allmark is a Liverpudlian, with welsh parentage or grand-parentage.
Dan Griffiths if I remember rightly, Isaak Davies used to get shifted out to the wing to accommodate him in the under 18 side. I thought he looked a genuine first team player of the future in his first season with us, but he never really got going in his second season because of that injury you mention - I was still surprised to see him released mind.
The word was at the time that Craig Bellamy had been instrumental in getting Griffiths to sign for us and he went on to sign for Pen -Y-Bont (pretty sure he had a loan spell with them while at City as well), but I’ve no idea who he’s playing for now.

He is with Pen-y-Bont but his contract finishes at the end of this season, he left the city to sign for Chippenham and then went back to Pen-y-Bont for the second time, He was born in Wrexham not Liverpool though.

Thanks for that, so he’s played for two lots of Bluebirds.

Wasn't there another lad from Wrexham who joined us at the same time? I think from Everton. He was a centre half, I think he was called Ryan Reynolds (yes, really).

Yes, I vaguely remember that. Wasn't he injured during his time with us?

Yes, that's right. I think he also suffered from being what what the Americans call a
'tweenie' - neither 'fish nor foul'; not big enough for a centre back and not fast enough for a full back. A bit like Xavier Benjamin who is currently on our books, Tom James was another.

He is also playing for Pen-y-bont now, very injury-prone during his spell with us.

It was a shame because he definitely had a lot of ability.
