Saw him in the Play Offs vs Crewe last season. He's a tidy player.

Neither of mine are big names but both are hot prospects theo Wharton for coed Eva now a cardiff development and Louis feeley who plays for Hereford he lived across the road from me and was one of my best mates in school great player think he will play at a high level in the future if he keeps his attitude correct he was at cardiff academy when he was about 11 or 12 :ayatollah:

I've played in the same front row as Adam Jones and played football V Andy Legg.
We once played Pencoed Yth in rugby, and they were getting shirty as we were winning and they were unbeaten, we were a tidy side but not great by any stretch of the imagination. After one skirmish one of their players told us we were only winning because Scott wasn't playing so we took the piss out of them for the rest of the game which we did win asking where Scott was etc etc. Turns out Scott was Scott Gibbs and a few months later was playing for Wales in a full international so thank f**k he was injured or resting or whatever!!

Played for Baglan with Andy Legg. Him and his father used to come to Bridgend and pick me up. Lovely family. I am also the same age as Sean Mccarthy and played loads of rugby with him and against him in football as kids.

Whitchurch and Capitol Trucks back in the day were cheats... just would end up with all the best rapid players... must have still been finishing their acid trips from Friday night some of them.

Not bitter at all. :laughing6:

I doubt whether any of you guys will remember Chris Williams who signed for the bluebirds in the 70s from Brecon Corries. When he was in school and I was an apprentice on the ground staff we used to have a knock around in the playground.
In the 80s, playing Sunday footie for Heath Sports. Gilo was our coach.
