I'm going for Alan Lewis, football genius. A rare bit of brilliance at home v Lincoln if I remember correctly. Got the ball inside his own 18 yard box, took on about 4 or 5 of the opposition, got to the halfway line and then proceeded to give away a corner
collective amnesia on here clearly, who could forget the impact Eddie Johnson had in his short loan at the club, an incredible 50% of his goals scored in the opposition net, technically a solid 1 in 2 striker!
But seriously, i'd want Seyi Olofinjana back because i've made up a great song for him rhyming the words 'hollow piņata' and 'swallowing banana'..
Whitts, at his best.Originally Posted by WJ99mobile
Is that set to the tune of the banana boat song by Harry Bellafonte?
i'm afraid not, it's to the tune of 'We Are The Cheeky Girls' by the... erm... Cheeky Girls.
That's a shame, as it fits so perfectly I now can't hear that song without changing it to

"come mr tally man, swallowing banana"
John Charles was the best and most expensive player in the world in the 60’s and I saw him score his first goal for us from the half way line against Norwich!
Indeed and Alan Campbell
Correct
I remember the plaque on the wall showing his name , lots of Welsh Rugby and Baseball caps , and world world class playground fighting school.
Not quite the same profile as Whitchurch, with Bale, Warburton and Geraint Thomas but we had Rodrigues, Andy Fairweather-Low and my schoolteacher Gerald Davies.
I went to Llanishen, and there were basically no famous alumni
Scimeca was excellent at what he did... collect the ball deep, drive forward with it and release a 'forward pass' to feet, at exactly the right moment.
Him and McPhail were a great double pivot in the Dave Jones system, one right footed, one left footed - great passing range from both
So did I😀
I remember that John Charles goal too. He would be my choice as he could be a 1st choice centre half or centre forward. Perhaps I could sneak in Ivor Allchurch as well to supply the ammunition?
If we wanted John Charles back it would need to be the JC that played for Juventus in his hey day and not the JC that played for us who was past his best and had a major knee problem.
No doubt whatever on this one. I'd been pondering on the conundrum we have - players capable of automatically promotion, first rate stadium and facilities etc etc.... There's a missing ingredient to isn't there? Something to meld the different excellent component parts into a smoothe machine? Something to join the glimpses of halting brilliance into a consistent and confident operation.
What I've thought to myself so many times is "If only we had someone like Ian Gibson now".
Many might not remember him but he was a determined midfield general ,somewhat in the mold of Billy Bremner you might say. He could score the odd goal too of course, but he was incredibly determined whatever the circumstances and would NOT allow others to fall into a trance during a game .
That's who I'd have back then without a doubt.

Only clip I could find when he was playing for Coventry
Known as Ball Road when Rodrigues went there, I think the name Llanrumney High came later.
Earnie.
Much as I loved to watch Brian Harris play for us, he'd be red-carded every game now.
We had a Giorgio Chinaglia at Lady Mary, star of Italian, American and ....erm... Swansea Town reject
I had several mates who went to Lady Mary and remember them telling me that. Do you know Gary or Mike Sullivan ?We had a Giorgio Chinaglia at Lady Mary, star of Italian, American and ....erm... Swansea Town reject
Clicker and Lanky from Sedgemoor Rd, Llanrumney. Gary was in my class throughout, retired copper now. Mike was a couple of years older, both lovely fellas
