Hometown: Cardiff
Club You Support: Cardiff City
First Wales away: Holland away out in Rotterdam back in June 2008. A warm up friendly ahead of the Euros for the Dutch, a 3 day bender in Amsterdam for the Welsh.
Wales away caps: 30 (24 if you don’t count Euro 2016)
Favourite Wales away trip: Israel away in 2015. If you know, you know. Tel-Aviv was something else. That trip had everything, including a rare #WalesAway victory!
Favourite Wales away memory: Being amongst the lucky 700/800 supporters in Zenica when Wales secured qualification for Euro 2016. That away end was filled with familiar faces and some of the most ardent and die-hard Wales supporters who had been there throughout the low points. That night was for them. A special moment.
Favourite all time player: Aaron Ramsey
One essential Wales away item: Lucky red pants
Favourite band: The Barry Horns
Band we should be listening to: Sea Girls
One surprising fact about you: I used to wear Welsh football shirts on St David’s Day in Primary School before it was cool.
