'Never Say Dai' published 1986
I thought it would be interesting to mention just a few quotes from his work. 'Mike (Smith, then manager of Wales) said Wrexham were an ambituous club with facilities up to first division standard and players that would surely earn their place in the second division the following season'. 'Around the pitch there were magnificent seating and better resources than many I saw in the first division Indeed everything about Wrexham FC had been prepared for that division and the drive to achieve that status was apparent everywhere' 'I don't really know whether I ever played with a better team player than Dixie' On comments that it was John Neal's team that won promotion - 'In my judgement that was completely unfair to Arfon for our team that year was Arfon Griffiths'team and no one else's.' This is only a small selection and there are many more in the book. Good luck to Dai and thanks for being part of our greatest ever team. |

I too still have my copy of 'Never Say Dai'. I remember waiting impatiently for the english version to come out. I agree it's a good read and a refreshing change from the ghost written mediocrity of many football books.
Best wishes to Dai. |
