An interesting story from the National News Media has come to our attention.
Cardiff Met will become the first British University men’s side to play in European competition when they take on Progrès Niederkorn in Luxembourg on Thursday.
According to Christian Edwards, the former Swansea City, Nottingham Forest and Bristol Rovers defender in charge of Cardiff Met:
"Two of our players came from the professional game, one has captained Hereford at Wembley, and then you’ve got some boys who have never been at an academy in their lives – we’ve got five farmers from the west.”
We at Soccer Mad Boffins say 'good luck' to the academic footballers of Cardiff Met!
