Great news yesterday that craig bellamy joined cardiff city.
He may irritate some people but thats his character and allows him to get the best out of himself.
He also does a huge amount for charity he never talks about so we have to give the break. His work in africa with young kids is already legendary behind the scenes.
He has given cardiff city a huge boost in their quest to get into the premiership, and its a huge gesture to come back down into the championship when he’s still at the peak of his powers. He was rated as 3rd best premiership player last year on stats alone, so forget any negative press, this man is on a mission to bring premiership football to wales!
Bellamy has this infectious character that can get the very best out of his team-mates. He won’t put up with big ego’s and will literally slam ANY player who is not pulling for the team. He will spot the pampered, lazy trainers a mile off, and there will be a completely new attitude down cardiff for the rest of the year.
So rather than be turned off by this misunderstood character, you should admire his hugely competitive spirit, his fighting nature even when the chips are almost completely down, and the level of hard work he will bring to youngsters all over cardiff and beyond.
There are already signs of his arrival. The club shirts have all sold out, season tickets have gone through the roof, saturday’s gate is likely to be massive and the influence he will have on the next generation will be immeasurable.
From this post, you can guess i like the anti-hero, the McEnroe’s of this world, the Botham’s, the Maradona’s, Daley Thompson etc. All the athletes who stick two fingers up at people who are trying to do the wrong thing and stifle the game, stuffyness has held back sport in this country for far too long.
These athletes were freedom fighters in my book, and will do more good in one day than all the guys in blazers in the FA, the cricket associations, the athletics boards etc.
These people put bums on seats and flat-out inspire people to take up sports, to play with passion and create the next generation of champions.
So the bottom line is that im expected about bellamy being in cardiff, and long may the benefits he brings continue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
