Back in early 2022 we put out a Patreon only epsiode in which we chatted with former Wrexham and Everton striker Dave Smallman who won seven caps for Wales. Dave chats about how his ascent to the Wrexham first team at the age of only 20, the club's famous FA Cup runs and successful u23 caps helped alert Dave Bowen to his promise. But upon arriving at Wrexham General station to sign as a 16 year old, nerves almost got the better of him. Although he won only seven caps, Dave figured in two of the greatest wins in Wales's history: the famous 2-1 win in Hungary's Nep Stadium in April 1975; and the 1-0 win over Austria at The Racecourse in November that year. But Dave explains why he was the only Welsh person inside The Racecourse that night not to celebrate Arfon Griffiths' winner which secured the only time Wales has topped a qualifying group.   ___________________ Yng nghynnar yn nôl yn 2022 fe wnaethom ni ryddhau epsiod ar Patreon yn yr hyn y wnaethom ni sgyrsio â chyn-flaenwr i Wrecsam ac Everton, Dave Smallman, a ennillod saith o gapiau i Gymru. Mae Dave yn sôn am sut dynnwyd sylw Dave Bowen i'w addewid wedi iddo esgyn i'r tîm cyntaf Wrecsam pan oedd yn 20 oed yn unig, o achos rhediadau enwog y clwb yn y Cwpan FA a chapiau o dan 23 oed llwyddiannus. Ond pan gyrhaeddodd y llanc 16 oed orsaf Wrecsam Gyffredinol i lofnodi i'r clwb, cafodd bron ei orau gan ei nerfau. Er ennillodd saith cap yn unig chwaraeodd Dave mewn dau o fuddugoliaethau mwyaf mewn hanes Cymru, y ddwy ym 1975: y fuddugoliaeth 2-1 yn Stadiwm Nep yn Hwngari; a'r fuddugoliaeth 1-0 dros Awstria yn y Cae Râs. Ond mae Dave yn egluro pan oedd e'r unig Cymro neu Gymraes tu fewn y Cae Râs y noson honno i fethu dathlu gôl ennill Arfon Griffiths a sicrheuodd am y tro unig safle ar frig grwp rhagborofol i Gymru.

On the occasion of this season's FA Cup semi-final between Manchester United and Brighton & Hove Albion, 40 years after the two clubs faced each other in the 1983 final, our Leon Barton wrote for Nation Cymru about the sole Welshman to figure in that final - Alan Davies. Davies played for Manchester United, Newcastle and Swansea and won 13 Cymru caps but injuries hampered his career and he eventually took his own life in 1990 aged only 30. Leon and Russell are joined by member of The Barry Horns and Swans fan Chris Leek who recalls fondly watching from The Vetch terraces a gifted player. **Note that this episode discusses themes such as suicide, depression, poor mental health and sexual abuse. If you have been affected by any of these issues there is always someone willing to listen to you and your feelings.** Ar achlysur gêm rownd cyn-derfynol y Cwpan FA y tymor hwn rhwng Manchester United a Brighton & Hove Albion, 40 mlynedd wedi i'r ddau dîm wynebu eu hunain yn y rownd terfynol ym 1983, ysgrifennodd ein Leon Barton am Nation Cymru am yr unig Cymro i chwarae yn y gêm yna - Alan Davies. Chwaraeodd Davies i Manchester United, Newcastle ac Abertawe ac ennillodd 13 o gapiau i Gymru ond llesteiriodd anafiadau ei yrfa ac yn y diwedd lladdodd ei hunan ym 1990 dim ond 30 oed. Mae Chris Leek, aelod o'r Barry Horns a chefnogwr yr Elyrch, yn ymuno â Leon a Russell ac mae e'n atgofio'n fraf gwylio chwaraewr dawnus o derasau'r Vetch. **Nodwch bod y rhifyn hwn yn trafod pynciau megis hunanladd, digalondid, iechyd meddwl gwael a chamdrin rhywiol.
