Sporting Heroes Who owned Shops...
Or Pubs, Cafe's, in fact any retail Business. I'll give you Len Ashurst Trophies, John Scott had the sports shop in Canton, and Barry Nelmes was the Landlord of The Retreat Pub in Llanedeyrn, back when it used to get a bit tasty, as was Dai Bishops old man (Association is fine-My rules)

So be it. It can extend to players who didn't play for us, in all parts of the country. Carl Dale is a spark and Jeff Eckhardt is a tiler, although this thread isn't about trades, it's shops and public houses, do i make myself clear?
