If Mike Galloways only Welsh qualifiction was that he was born in Oswestry, then he wouldn't have qualified anyway. Despite being a very Welsh town, it still happens to be in England (just). I know loads of people born in Oswestry but raised in Wales, which is why the new 5 year school rule is such a good idea.

Speed and Owen went to Hawarden high school, but that little traitor Shawcross went to Elfed high school, the backstabbing judas was a few years below me in school. After what he did to Wales and Ramsey he is extremely unpopular in this area, and if I was him I wouldnt come here during daylight, because people are really unhappy with him.
