Eddie May's Christmas presents
You speak to any Bluebirds player from the early 1990s and they will tell you that Eddie May never got enough credit.
Yes, he was loud, often irascible and a disciplinarian, but his tactical nous was second to none.
While many brand his squad of that era the Darling Buds of Eddie May, owing to the wealth of promising youngsters coming through the ranks, it was his huge double transfer coup in 1992 which turned the tide for that season.
The signings of Phil Stant and Kevin Ratcliffe that winter were strokes of genius in that season and, ultimately, proved the deciding factor in Cardiff's memorising run to the end of the season, which saw them win Division Three and the Welsh Cup.
Incredibly shrewd business from May.
That season remains many Cardiff fans' favourite.
