Cap, football
In 1930, the Football League banned English clubs from releasing Welsh players on Saturdays. A national team was cobbled together using Welsh club players and three amateurs. Walter Robbins and another Cardiff City legend, Fred Keenor, were chosen. The team were dubbed ‘the Unknowns', but they created quite an upset when they held Scotland to a 1-1 draw in 1930. Walter was awarded this football cap on this day.
