Brilliant player, blighted by injuries, under appreciated at a quality Real Madrid side. Probably the best welsh player ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to sit in the stands week after week rather than go and actually play football elsewhere. He couldn’t possibly have needed the money at that stage in his life why should he have? he was clearly good enough for madrid at the time, coach didn't want to play him, fans hated him for some bizarre reason, why the fuck should he have left to play more? he had a contract and he more than contributed enough for them and was treat like shit. I found it hilarious he did his MLS club interview in Spanish, shut loads of they cunts up saying he never tried at the club to integrate and learn the language/culture etc. ShanksRFC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
