Swansea City or Cardiff Met. They play some amazing passing football.

Tell us something about you we might not know

I once met Chris Coleman outside Dragon Park in Cardiff and went up to him to ask for a selfie and as I was about to take the picture my phone went out of battery, so I ended up having to walk away embarrassed
