Lets get some Breton flags at the stadium to welcome Kevin Theophile-Catherine. He's from Saint Briec in Brittany. Many Bretons do not consider themselves French.

It begs the question, have Cardiff City had players from each of the six Celtic Nations, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Isle of Man, Brittany and Cornwall.

Obviously we have Wales, Scotland, Ireland and now Brittany covered. Have there been any Cornish or Manx players?

I remember him, left back late 70's. I once asked him for his autograph and gave me some sweets as well. It was seen as appropriate in those days
