same. Still doesn't change the fact that San Marino scored 3 times as many goals away to Liechtenstein last year than we managed!

Also born #OTD, in 1957 - George Berry

Won 5 Cymru caps in total. The first four in 1979 before a recall in 1983. Later worked in a senior role at the PFA

Spoke with huge honesty and no little black humour about the racism he faced in football at @gwylwalgoch.bsky.social in 2024

Born #OTD in 1929 - Jack Kelsey

The first @arsenalfc.bsky.social to feature in a World Cup, Kelsey had won 41 Cymru caps when a back injury vs Brazil in 1962 ended his career

Was the most capped Welsh gk until 1981 when Dai Davies made his 42nd appearance vs Scotland

Owain is only keeping this plinth in Corwen warm for a while isn't he?

#OTD in 1975 Brian Lloyd played in goal, kept a clean sheet, designed the best programme cover ever, and sang the theme tune

Harry Wilson moved from joint 14th to 8th in Cymru men's all-time goalscoring charts and past some decent names.

Needs another 3 to overtake his current boss

This needs to read *away from home*

We won by 6+ goal margins in competitive games vs Malta in 1978, Faroes in 1992, San Marino in 1996

Big Jack would be proud

Born #OTD in 1923 in Aberaman - Alf Sherwood

Won 41 caps, 9 as captain, in a 10 yr Cymru career. After his final appearance in 1956 only Billy Meredith had won more caps

Known as 'King of the Sliding Tackle', he had the reputation as being about the only full back who could tame Stanley Matthews
November 13, 2025 at 9:58 AM
#OTD in 1970 Cymru and Romania faced each other for the first time in a Euro 1972 qualifier
