I would add Ivor Allchurch, who was an over-age Welsh under-23 player. He was easily the most under-rated player I have ever seen. Played for Wales under-23 at RP.

You must mean the match in December 1964. 

Are you sure Allchurch played? He would have been 35 at the time and I don't believe over-age players were allowed at the time. There was none in the Scotland team.

Surprised that John Charles is the only Welshman on the list, given that they've had the likes of Giggs and Bale too.

Born in the wrong era, I guess. Bit like Frank Beattie not getting a sniff at the national team, because of the others playing at the time, I'd imagine.

Georgi Kinkladze in a preseason friendly against Man City was a bit special as I remember 

They got relegated at the end of that season. Still gave us a bit of a roasting mind you. 4-0, and 7,000 at the game.

Didn't we beat man City 4-2 in a pre season game in the 90s or is my memory playing tricks on me?

I definitely have a programme from games against them and Bolton from the same pre season.

See, I thought it was 4-2 too. But 'citytilidie has it down as 4-0.

We changed keepers and both conceded 2 goals.

They were miles ahead of us that day - men against boys.

Will look out the programme. I used to write the scores in a corner of the front page.

 

Did we play them twice by chance?

I thought nicky weaver played in goal for them.

Definitely 0-4. They hammered us and they were in what is now the Championship. I remember taking a customer down to Old Trafford for a game against his team Coventry( My company C & W had 2 Hospitality season tickets and we were bidding for a £multimillion contract, so they had to twist my arm to wine and dine him!). On the way home from Manchester Piccaddilly station a train load of Man City fans had just arrived, looking for trouble with Man Utd fans. Me and my customer thought, oh sh*t, as a few of them were walking up to people to see what colours they had on. As it transpired I was Ok.  I was wearing my Killie jacket and when he saw the badge, he said 'we f*cked you 4-0'. I said 'yep you certainly did' and walked on as I was no threat to him! PS. That was the day that Killie were playing Celtic at Parkhead- Jerome Vareille scored the equaliser. Think we were 1-0 down at half time - finished 1-1 - and in the Man Utd hositality I was punching the air, going mental and everyone round about was wondering what the hell was going on!!!

Shearer in 95 Rugby Park re-opening... he got 3 on the night without breaking a sweat

As a team they were outstanding.

The way they kept their shape and moved as a unit sticks in my mind - more like table footballers,  they were so connected with one another.
