Mervyn Griffiths - Wales' only World Cup finalist

Hi all, I have just written an article about the life and achievements of Benjamin Mervyn Griffiths, the world-class referee who took part in the 1954 World Cup Final. Have a read and let me know what you think:

Wankdorf stadium is home to the Young Boys Bern team.

If the missus doesn't fancy going to the game she can go shopping at the Wankdorf Shopping Mall.

I think it will have to be the shopping mall for now, the stadium has been demolished
