Name. David, (known to most as Cookie) due to my surname being Cooke  . Location. Denbigh!!! Age. 36. First Wales Game. It was the famous Italy win 2-1 at Millenium. Davies & Bellers. I went to every home Quali that Campaign. First Away Match. Austria away. I think Tosh was in charge. We battered them in Vienna,but Danny Coyne made a mistake,we lost 1-0. Welsh Heroes: Rushie,Hartson,and a funny one Iwan Roberts,although he never seemed to get the rub of the Green for Wales,but decent club career with Norwich & Leicester. Club. Im a Liverpool fan. Due to the fact as a child i was filling my sticker album in,& i noticed Ian Rush's birthplace was St.Asaph,the neighbouring town of Denbigh. I always look out for the Welsh clubs results Swansea,Cardiff,Newport,Wrexham,Colwyn Bay. And a like to trawl the lineups on a sunday morning of any clubs that have Welsh players representing them . |

Welcome Chester, Are you still trying to convert the lager drinkers to real ale? Do you remember much about the Bologna trip? You will know who I am if I say I usually travel with my nephew. Was just about to post what a brilliant addition to apostle he will be. Up there with vandenhawue & the Llanboidy massive in terms of being a brilliant supporter on the road. But now I discover he is a real ale man. This gets better! I like my real ale too and post more on twitter about it than footie these days  Haha. Cheers for the welcome and the nice words! Never give up on the real ale - the only downside of most Wales trips is the lack of it! Remember it quite well. It's the recent ones I'm struggling with - too much piss lager! |

It's five years this week since my first Wales away match (2-0 vs Leichtenstein, October 2009.... I did go to the U21 play off at Villa Park about a year before though)
That's actually a gap of 24.5 years between my first away match and first home match! (3-0 vs Spain, April 1985)
Can anyone who's attended matches at home and away beat that gap?

I'm sure she'd be delighted to recall her Welsh background with you! Nice town, few welsh here but mostly out when rugbys on, thats not a knock of rugby fans as I support wales in any sport but football first. We probably bumped to each other but more than likely heard me when wales playing lol |
