Not in the match I saw, for sure - maybe in another game - the one people have mentioned at the Arms Park, perhaps?

He wasn't lying - Clive was a superb wing forward, and would have been capped for sure but for a career-ending injury. Alan wasn't bad, either.

Gareth was THE big match player - he only played 12-18 matches a season - in the days when clubs would have 45/47 fixtures per season . I saw him play at Stradey and in his last match in Nov 77 he was brilliant . Selwyn was our scrum half for many years and never had the recognition he deserved - but then he was up against the greatest scrum half of all time .

If the baby had been born an hour earlier, I had planned to skip down from the Heath and watch the game. Just as well I hadn't managed it now.

Yes I was there as an 8 year old in the Arms Park in 1970 it was, Jiffy did the same for Neath against us in a Cup Match at Gnoll during the middle 80s . There was something in that Gareth Edwards tale he rarely played at Stradey . |

Before my time but I think Barry John dropped four drop goals for Cardiff against us on one occasion.

The match programme says Llanelli played away to Cardiff on the 2nd October. Llanelli played away to Bedford on the 9th October 1993 (and lost). |

Yes, it's fantastic, fair play to them. It's a shame the Scarlets don't do the same. Our website is an embarrassment, with only last years results and no historic results, which is a disgrace.

I was told that barry ran them ragged and they couldn’t put a hand on him? Can any of our more mature posters shed more light on this?

I was on the 2001 lions tour to Australia and spent 3 1/2 fantastic weeks with barry and jj Williams as our tour leaders,i asked barry who was the hardest player you played against and he said my brother clive when I came back to play at stradey with Cardiff.

I don't know about the great Gareth, but I do remember 'king' Barry John being given a hard afternoon at Stradey - by his brothers Clive and Alan, playing 6 and 7!

I think that's an Urban Myth TBH - yes for sure he didn't play as many games for Cardiff as he could have done but any time I saw him play for them he looked class and giving his all. |
