Soccer Teams In London
Olympic Soccer London 2012
I understand Great Britain has not fielded a soccer team in the Olympics since 1964?
However, would it be such a waste and also highly unusual if GB did not field a team in London 2012? After all, they are hosting the Games this time.
i thnk gb have always wanted to field a team but not all the home nations have agreed this is y the fa has said thy are going to feild a team regardless ov the other nations so even tho its called team gb it cud just b england .

Not illustrated. Excerpt: David Phillips Jones more commonly known as ‘Ponty’ Jones (10 December 1881 9 January 1936) was a Welsh international rugby union wing player who played club rugby for several teams, most notably Pontypool and London Welsh. He won a single cap for Wales in 1907. Jones was a mining surveyor by profession, and was also a classically trained harpist. A keen sportsman, he also played soccer and once had a Welsh amateur trial. During the First World War he joined the British Army and served in the South Wales Borderers. He died of pneumonia in 1936. Jones was one of four rugby playing brothers; Jack and James were capped for Wales like David, while the youngest brother Edwin played for club team, Pontypool. As the brothers had the common surname of Jones, the brothers were separated by their nicknames. James was more often known as ‘Tuan’ and David as ‘Ponty’. Jones first played rugby for his home town of Pontymoile, before being selected for first-class rugby club, Newport. He played only 11 games for the Newport senior team before joining the newly reformed Pontypool club, making his debut for the club on 7 December 1901 in a match against Ebbw Vale RFC. Jones’ career at Pontypool was extremely succussful, becoming a leading scorer over several seasons including 172 tries over his entire career. Such was Jones’ scoring record, that the left wing corner pointing to Conway Road at Pontypool’s Recreation ground, was nicknamed ‘Ponty’s Corner’. In the 1904-05 season, Jones scored 49 tries, which included six in the same game against Talywain in April 1905; a club record that stood for 98 years. Jones was made captain of Pontypool for three consecutive seasons, from 1904 to 1907; and in 1907 he was awarded his one and only internat… More: |
