Most of the Merthyr rams were from down Troedyrhiw / Aberfan / Treharris way which although they are in the borough of Merthyr they are not in the town in itself.

I used to go to school with a lad called Heggadeus from Treharris. The only Jew I knew and he was from Hungary.
There is, Ukrainians and jews began arriving in the 19th century in merthyr

Just told you that merthyr was home to one of wales first synagogues

There are , of course, jews from Hungary

With regard to the town of merthyr there are plenty of cardiff fans , not just the rams from the south of the borough . I knew a girl from penydarren in college who was a bluebird fanatic
