A POSITIVE HISTORICAL FACT.....

Fri Apr 22, 2011 9:28 am

Just been reading the Cardiff City Chronology 1920-86 by John Crooks (Great book by the way) and the last time we were promoted to the top flight in the 59-60 season with 4 games to go we had to play Aston Villa who were the run away leaders of the division (i.e. QPR this season). The Bluebirds ran out 1-0 winners and helped them cement their position in second place in the league that year. That year our top scorer was Derek Tapscott an ex Arsenal player (i.e. Jay Bothroyd). The winning goal that day was scored by Graham Moore a Welsh born Inetrnational who also played for the likes of Chelsea and Man Utd (i.e. Bellamy)

This WILL be our year boys, I can feel it!! Keep the faith!! 1-0 win to City on Saturday a certain Mr Bellamy to score the winner!
