If your looking for a good football book about Welsh football to get you through the summer and on to the world cup ,look no further than Trailing clouds of glory by Nick Burnell.
"Welsh football's forgotten heroes of 1976"
When Wales qualified for the euro quarter finals.
Great story with Toshack ,leighton James Brian Flynn,Dai Davies John Mahoney to name a few . I enjoyed it especially as I remembered it vaguely and was good to revisit that time .I think some of the games are on you tube.Its for sale on E Bay and Amazon.

Declan John (out and out winger ?)
at 08:40 30 Jun 2019

Just thought it was a good time to discuss if he should be.used as a winger.I think he has great attributes for this position .personally.like watching him go forward.His obvious weakness as a full back are evident.to me.One being he cannot take throw ins ( no distance).although as a wing back he still.has a role.
What do you think?

Callum Carson Being tracked by Swans
at 13:40 9 Feb 2019

Callum Carson came of the bench last night to dribble an odd shaped ball from the halfway line all the way between the posts ,to seal a magnificent win for Swansea against Ebbw Vale.
Pearlman who happened to call in to the match,returning from the Big Apple in Mumbles(what was he doing down there).Was interviewed By Sir Keith Colcough .
This game He said was a little bit more familiar to me ,that Guy Carson is some player ,
Fast, good on the ball ,we could sign him up as a striker or a goalkeeper as the way he dived on the ball was something else .We may be able to make something on him if he goes to Superbowl Champs The Patriots ,as Loyalty counts in this Game.
Go Whites.

Joe Davis Bristol Rovers/Swansea Town.
at 10:48 1 Dec 2018

Supporters who can remember far back as the 1960's will be saddened to hear the passing of Joe Davis.Billy Lucas signed Joe In March 1967,and he played mainly in the 1967-1968 season at centre half or full back.Joe played in the Fa cup 4th round match ,when 4th division Swansea lost 1-0 to Arsenal in front of Swansea's biggest ever crowd at the vetch,
32,786.
Unfortunatley Joe suffered a career ending injury at aldershot a few weeks later.
And went back to Bristol Rovers as scout and coach, where he had played for a number of previous seasons.
If you want to see a phot of Joe playing against Arsenal its on picture 107 in John Burgums book titled swansea city fc.
There is also a team photo taken at york earlier in that season football league review volume 2 number 32.
I enclose a link to clarify this https://brfpa.org.uk/news/
May I offer my sincere condolences to his family and friends.
