Hi I thought i'd share this article with you, its something I wrote about a month ago for a laugh. Where I compare the best ever players from North and South Wales and ask who would win.

Who do you think would win?

Well the South Wales team has our 3 greatest ever players in my book in Allchurch, Bale and John Charles and theirfore is superior though the north has the better goalie and defence.

As long as you make Dean Saunders manager of the North side then an all time best Howells girl school side would beat them. Decent player but a terrible manager and an even worse pundit!

are you asking what player..or our most successful team.?
player .......Bale
team.......the current one that qualified for the EUROs then got to the semi and are currently unbeaten in our WC qualifying group and might yet qualify.
think both teams in the article are good..but do wonder if our current stars will fare better in these sort of best ever teams in future years.

You could argue that reaching the quarter finals of a World Cup is on a par with reaching the semi-final of the Euros. If it was'nt for Pele it may have even been a lot better for Wales.

i did consider that before making the statement..the 58 team failed to initially qualify though...won some sort of rafle to play Israel..and then at the finals didnt actually win a game...
