Is a left sided central defender, a fifth generation Argentinian of Welsh descent, who would love to play for a Welsh team.
He is a Welsh speaker who lives in the Welsh speaking part of Patagonia.
Perhaps we should invite him for a trial !
This article in Welsh on BBC tells his story, sorry I'm not sure how to translate, but I'm sure many can

What supporters invest are their minds and souls
Some invest for a return , sometimes financial , mostly for self
Have a wonderful day |  |

And you just moan from behind a computer screen when we lose or are doing badly. |  | | |

OHL, just so you know, FB has not "poisoned" me. A majority of your posts are depressing, and sometimes demeaning. And, a good example of this is when you called this story that Tenby had found written in Welsh, "Sentimental shite" and "Pitiful really", most of us can only shake our heads.
I would bet that most of us posters here who read this story of a young man, born in a far-flung jungle outpost of Argentina founded by Welsh people many generations ago, who overcame childhood leukemia, and has now become a professional soccer player...well, that's a pretty impressive story, and better yet, a good read. And then you throw cold water on it by calling it "Sentimental Shite", "Pitiful really".
Most of us admire this about the young man:
"But although the current rules do not work in his favor, he is eager to learn more about his family history.'I was born and raised in Argentina, but obviously I have been aware of the Welsh connection for a long time,' Jeremias said.'As a footballer, it is completely natural to be interested in playing for a national team if there are family connections.'To start with, I would love to visit Wales. I have never had the opportunity to go there, and I would love to get the chance to look deeper into my family history.'That is a dream for me, and I am sure I will be able to fulfill that dream one day.'And of course, if there were an opportunity to play in Wales, whether that be for the national team or for a club, that would be something special.'"
So, how can you call this "Sentimental shite" and "Pitiful really"? To me, that's depressing that you think that way. And, shocking, quite honestly! |
I read this the day it was posted. And you are 100% right. But i only just feel like responding
I also have not been influenced in my opinion of OHL by anyone either, he has managed that all by himself through his posting.
I have had him on ignore for several years but sadly when not logged in, his always negative posts pop up.
That is enough said about that. I had been thinking of asking Keith to consider removing from the forum but have noticed his absence in recent days. The forum is better for it.
Re this thread, no said we should sign this lad because he speaks Welsh. I did say we could invite him over for a trial and feel that could generate good worldwide publicity for the club as a good news story.
It would cost possibly 2k for a flight, I'm sure one of the players or Morgans would put him up and the positive PR for the club could be huge.
Who knows he could even he a decent player.
Unfortunately though the thread was killed before it could get started. | | | |
