Actually started one game at flanker for Wales when they had a load of injuries - he was that good.

"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
Like Mike Riley?
Apparently he was still playing flanker in his 50s for some Welsh club 3rd XV.
