What's the criteria, so you have to be born?

Canton first 5 years, Beddau next 5 years but then south of the Cowbridge Road West for 12 years and north of the Cowbridge Road West for the next 20 years.

Does it make me an Ely Boy especially as my dad was born and bred?

Don't tell the wife though she thinks it's Michaelston, St Fagans or The Drope.

I lived in Robert Street till I was about 16 moved away for a couple of years then moved back to aintree drive. I was in my early teens in the mid-late 80's but remember all the older lads, used to knock about with Craig from arles road (Tony the boxers son). Got my love of adidas, stone roses and RIP Woodies from Millbank - loved the place.

Macdonald Road now, Snowden Road (during the riots), Cambria Road growing up (if I ever did grow up). Only got back into the City for the last five years, go home and away every opportunity. Loves it.

St Francis and Mostyn.
