We've been incredible in the first half for the past few games. We've started fast, pressed, and made chance another chance in wave after wave. If we have the same approach it can be all over by half time against Swansea. However...

 

It's not always going to be like that. Is it? We are having a great time finding out. Best team to watch in the league at the moment.

Sad to hear today of the passing of Mel Charles who was 81 year's old a truly Welsh great (the late John Charles's brother ).

 

He played for Wales in the 1958 Sweden World Cup where we lost to Brazil (Pele scored in a 1 0 defeat ) in the quarter finals . Pele described him as the best defender in the competition. Great praise indeed .

 

He played for his country from 1955 to 1962 .

His club career was with Swansea (hometown club),

Arsenal , Cardiff , Porthmadog Fc (my local club), Port Vale , Oswestry and Haverdfordwest.

 

When he played for Porthmadog it was a big coup as we were only semi professional and it coincided with the club's most successful period ever.

 

I imagine there will be some sort of tribute, rememberance before the Liverpool game on Saturday in memory of Mel.

 

Rest In Peace Mel .

Cysga yn dawel Mel bach .
