I could say i was forced to do RE in school, but it was all part of the curriculum
When i look back, i can never remember one day when we played rugby in the school playground. It was football every day of the week.
We had a rugby team for those who were interested, and we also had football and baseball teams.
In my day most of us who were sport mad, played in all 3.
Rubbish , rugby ruled in almost every secondary school in South and West Wales until the pe teachers were forced to provide football slots through the curriculum

It's no myth and just because you enjoyed all sport doesn't mean the experience of hundreds of thousands of young kids in Wales should be swept aside as if it didn't happened

It's you that is creating the myth that football was given a chance , was it bollocks
