4 Cardiff born players in that clip, Dwyer, Sayer, Giles & Attley.
We had some lumpers and hackers but some skill tooQuote:

He was an ex cricketer who got the sports presenting jobQuote:

I always remember Paul Went as a proper Fatty Arbuckle well over weight but after seeing that clip he looks pretty lean.
The rest look exactly how I remember them though.
Great clip.
Yeah Peter Walker, Glammy and England.Quote:

Great video, thanks for posting that. I wish that game had been televised (there was a strike which prevented it) because I’d have been able to tell whether our performance and Tony Evans’ early goal were really as good as I think they were - my recollection is that we played better against Everton than we did in beating Spurs in Round 3 and were unlucky to lose.
That’s a super video, amazing that they were expecting 40,000 for this game , and segregation was put into a section of the Bob bank. What was Everton’s support that day apparently they had a rough time, but they are well supported so I’m assuming 4,000 plus?Quote:

They had a bad time apparently and were fighting to get back on the coaches
Crowd was probably 40,000 then if the official one was 35,500Quote:

Yes he was 20 years old and played at number 2.Quote:

A great quartet. I've always thought we under sold Attley and Giles. That squad should have kicked on more than it did.Quote:

Some good players but Jimmy Andrews was not a good managerQuote:

Tempus Fugit
Everyone who is old enough has memories of the “Villars match” in 73/74 when we faced Palace in our last game knowing one of the two teams would be relegated, but the match which ended 76/77 was exactly the same, yet does not seem as well remembered. Carlisle were the opponents and. Like Palace three years earlier took the leaf (with a great goal as I remember). We were going down at that stage, but Alan Campbell (who later signed for Carlisle) equalised a minute later and we ended up safe although my memory is that Carlisle made it a lot more difficult for us in the closing minutes before their relegation was confirmed- there was a huge scramble in our penalty area in the final minute which ended up in a punch up involving most of the players from both sides.
Because Toshack brought some "fading" Liverpool players with him.Quote:

There are a number of clips online of his remarkable close control of the ball on shockingly bad pitches.Quote:

This is how I remember that era. We were as likely to win by a hat full as we were to lose by the same number. Andrews in particular would choose teams without nearly any central midfielders. Sayer, Giles, Reece, then Grapes would often be 3 of the 4 midfielders with someone like Livermore or Campbell (who were no diggers) trying to hold it together.Quote:
