    Thatcher was actually born in England, but played for Wales.

    I think it all stems from the recent terrace chants of "We're not Brazil, we're not even Northern Ireland .... we're Wales"

    It probably stems from people mocking their accent.

    I'm an Evertonian and Nev was a great keeper - the best -- but as a person !! i saw a kid at the RDS going up to ask him for his autograph, and he grumpily pushed him aside -- couldn't believe it -- it was hardly a security risk -- he nose dived in my estimation afterwards !.

    Theres alot more Liverpool, Chelsea , United fans --- and from what i hear the Cardiff fans/firm are one of the most violent now in Britain -- possibly the worst !! obviously theres not as many as Utd. or Leeds or West Ham , due to there smallish gates.

    The operative word in that post is now
    Back in the mid-70s, if Man U were coming to town, you boarded up your windows...they had the worst reputation of any travelling support. Then the Chelsea Headhunters, the ICF and the Millwall Bushwhackers came along.
    As for Cardiff, they came to Slough in the FA Cup 1st round and there was absolutely no trouble and (I believe) no arrests
