Has Pulis ever said he was a Cardiff City fan?

If so does anyone have any links to this?

I've read a lot of reports saying he's a "Newport born, self confessed Cardiff fan...." but I've nver heard him say it or seen a quote from him saying it?

If he is and he got the job then great but is this actually the case?

I always wanted him to manage Wales but if he came down here then I wouldn't complain. At least he would play people in the right positions to start with!

This article is six months old but still, it answers your question.

Crystal Palace boss Tony Pulis admits he's a big fan of Cardiff City.

The 56-year-old Pulis returns to the Welsh capital with Crystal Palace and admits he will always have a soft spot for a club he supported growing up.

“If I did not have a game on a Saturday, I would jump on a train and, if I could, I would get to Cardiff,” said Pulis.

“That was when John Toshack played for them and they had a very good team. My Dad took me to watch them play Real when there were 50,000 people in the stadium. It is a fantastic club and a great city.”
