A celebration of Wales

Keith Haynes, Come On Cymru! (Sigma, 1999)

Subtitled “Football in Wales”, this smart red tome stands as a unique collection of articles and essays. It incorporates an intriguing range of pieces about the “Big Three” league clubs and also, strangely, Chester, Hereford and Carmarthen. Don’t ask me why. Peter Williams has penned a stirring piece about Wrexham - and Joey’s brother Frankie gets into his “Worst-Ever WFC XI” (but let’s not tell Joey - or Frankie).
