Neville Southall

He's pilling it on isn't he ???

He thinks we have great keepers too ???

We've got no chance of doing anything with our keepers and defence, It's such a shame for Bale and Ramsey, they deserve to play at the big international tournaments.......

He was class and we had a decent defence then with Vanden Hauwe and Ratcliffe, but midfield was weak at that time.

We get some fantastic players but never enough all at the same time......

Imagine if we'd been able to field this team with all the players being in their prime

Southall

Delaney
Ratcliffe
Gabbidon
Mark Bowen

Bale
Rambo
Mark Hughes
Giggs

Rush
Bellamy

Would have had a very good chance of qualifying for a finals I would have thought.

In his time Southall was one fit athlete. However you just knew he would explode when his time was over.

I always remember him saying he would never go to a World cup final with Wales because it meant being away from his daughter for 6 weeks. Well we never got there and his daughter grew up resulting in him fallen out with her. Don't know the full story about him and his daughter but it would finish me off if it happened to one of my three.

Everton cult hero....what a great keeper and I doubt we will ever have a Welshman as good as Nev represent us ever again in goal.... In his prime he was one of the best in the world.

It would be class !!!

Imagine a combined England Wales team, we would only have two in but Bale and Ramsey would be the two best players, they would make a hell of a difference to the England team.......

Single handed saved us many times but when matered let us down? (hadji) 93 most hostile atmosphere ever encountered that night! :old:

Re: Neville Southall

Southall
Gabbidon
Charles
Williams
Speed
Ramsey
Giggs
Bale
Bellamy
Rush

Would be the best welsh team for me

this time as the euros are expanding to 24 teams it creates an opening for us to qualify.

with the players we have, we are probably at our strongest since sparky was in charge. if we don't qualify this time round it will be an epic failure from all involved.

Re: Neville Southall

I think we will get to the euros but I also think we will get to the World Cup all are main players will be in there prime for the World Cup

What a great 'keeper. Before my time but I love watching clips of him playing for Wales. The size of him now though :shock:

I think we'll qualify for 2016. I expect us to beat Andorra comfortably on Tuesday, and always good to start off with a win.

I think we'll qualify through the play-offs, but it's not unlikely for us to get 2nd :thumbright:

SHAME REALLY??
u r a numbskull!!! Neville was quality an the best goalie wales have seen for many many years so just cause he has kicked off his boots, started enjoying himself and putting a bit of weight on you fink its a shame. The man has achieved a lot more than u could dream of so do 1!!!

Re: Neville Southall

Sat Sep 06, 2014 8:22 pm

In my opinion the guy deserves the utmost respect for what he has done for Wales and for the game we love in general.

The best keeper I have seen in my 37 yrs on this planet. Proper Wales legend.

Are you an idiot? this has nothing to to with football, it's a shame he has become the size he has, as he is heading for a heart attack, that is the shame of it, nobody is questioning that he was Wales's best ever keeper, you need to think before you post drivel!

Re: Neville Southall

Sun Sep 07, 2014 2:37 pm

Am i an idiot? pmsl :lol: :lol: :lol: U are the fookin idiot how can u say he is heading for a heart attack just cause he is overweight?? get a grip its u who needs to think before posting u clown. i fail to recognise how anybody can curse former legends of the game for sumthing so trivial as putting on some weight. Thanks neville in my opinion u were a great servent and u enjoy youre retirement. :wave: :wave: :wave:
