Thank you for downloading the 12 days of Edgefoth,

0:09.5

where Iwan Robert Stanley Gabbardon and I choose our greatest ever Welsh 11.

0:13.9

So this is my favourite position to choose from because we're doing strikers.

0:19.7

And whilst historically, we've produced a huge amount

0:22.6

of top class strikers so who's your first choice it won you could choose yourself obviously

0:28.2

I'm bearing in mind the service you'd get from from bail and gigs that is mouth watering by the way

0:32.6

you know I might have scored for Wales yeah you just got a had to trick every game in there as well. I think if you're looking for someone to, I want to say lead the line, but be that number nine. That goal scorer is only one man I think you could do that. And we've had some talent, by the way. Yeah. But for me, it has to be in rush. I'm a Liverpool fan.

I think he's the one player that gave Kevin Ratcliffe problems. I think Rats hate him. Rats hate him playing against him.

1:28.9

Rats thinks he was better than Linnaker as well, because Rats

1:31.2

played with Linnaker, but played against

1:33.2

Rush and also played

1:34.6

with Rush for Wales.

1:37.2

I think it has to be in Rush.

1:38.4

For that number 9. He's iconic, I think.

1:41.4

Okay. I would also choose

1:42.8

Ian Rush because his goal scoring record is absolutely crazy.

1:50.0

It's 300 and something top-class scores.
