Wales v Iceland

Agreed.second tier cup! Keenor was captain for the f.a. Cup long admired as the GREATEST cup competition in the WORLD.can you say roathie,that the league cup has the same standing worldwide?? I really do not think you can! So Keenor is the best welsh club manager,in the last 84 years! Tah dah!

Love the way 1927 gets brought up in a Wales V Iceland thread. Your greatest ever achievment and not one of you or even your parents/grand parents saw it! Black and white cinema screens and a charabanc victory parade!! WOW.

You're wrong. My grandfather was there and although he died a long time ago I still remember him telling me about it and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Wow. Seems like only yesterday. So relevant to modern football. My grandfather played against cardiff city for the royal engineers and eton conservative club academicals united.

Seeing as we're on the topic of great Welsh captains. Gary Speed?

Jackf:you brought the fact that not one of our grandfathers were there! Yet get all pissy when someone proved your'e statement to be a lie.my grandfather was also at the game,again you are proved to be incorrect with that statement! I await your pissy response! Get over the fact that the league cup only draws interest in this country,the fa cup is known worldwide as being the best cup comp in the world.

And we have won it!! You?

What the hell as being the most successful welsh club captain got to do with it?

On a thread where accents are being discussed, are you really asking me that

He is captain of the country and the countries most successful side in nearly a century. Thats sounds like a worthy captain to me.

So you are saying Ashley Willams is the greatest Welsh Club captain in 83 years then? As for of all time - that will be debated for a ling time id say.

As for Keenor. It was more of a level playing field back then, there wasnt the money there is today distorting the balance of power. To beat the likes of European Champions Chelsea over 2 legs and the holders Liverpool away 3-1 when one striker they have cost more than our starting 11 put together is quite some feat.

No not really,it does not matter who you beat,it is nowhere near the fa cup in world standings,it is clearly a second tier cup you won,but you will see it differently of course.so its obvious to everyone,keenor is the best welsh club manager in over 80 years.cue you responding that you beat chelsea n liverpool on the way to winning the world famous league cup(again) you keep telling yourself its a major trophy bless.

Well that is a debate we could have long into the night. Anyone suggesting the league cup isnt a major trophy is clearly a little bitter

Keenor was struggling to even get in the side in 1927 and handed in a transfer request, he only stayed due to the transfer collapsing from Bristol Rovers' part.

So anyway - thats a different debate..... what it DOES seem like is that you are admitting Ashley Williams is the best welsh club captain since the late 1920's? Is that correct young man? Which is enough to show the point I was making initially.

FFS roath give it a rest, Just because you think Ashley Williams is Wales' best ever captain doesn't mean you're right! Its all about opinions.

Gary Speeds got to be up there, 85 caps captained the team 44 times and was twice the player Williams is also twice as much caps!
