GRITTY defender Steve Evans could be forgiven for thinking he would not be seeing too many more of those ‘special’ nights football sometimes has to offer.
Sure, he may still only be 31, but, as the craggy Evans admits himself, it seems like he has been around a lot longer.
A veteran of his home-town club Wrexham’s inevitably fruitless fight to stay in the Football League, Evans is the proud owner of seven international caps for his country, despite a career haunting the lower leagues.
The crowning moment was his appearance from the bench in Moscow in September 2008, as Wales succumbed 2-1 to the Russians in a World Cup qualifier.

IT’S been hailed by some as the Super 12 – and hammered by others as anything but super.
But whatever the views on the new-look Welsh Premier League, it represents the biggest shake-up in domestic football in decades.
On the outside it seems the much-maligned league, the peak of Welsh club football’s pyramid, has simply reduced its numbers in time for the new campaign.
But, in a special look at what these changes mean, Wales on Sunday understands television coverage will be set for a huge boost with cash-starved clubs set to DOUBLE their funding.
Most of all. supporters of the overhaul claim that the new plan for the Premier will finally bring the credibility to the division.

 AVID watchers of the soap opera that is the FAW will no doubt be slightly baffled by the latest news regarding Uefa licenses.
While it is nice to see Airbus UK rewarded for the hard work their committee have put in, the decision to effectively stop promotion and relegation to the league for a season and demote the league’s biggest crowd puller, Rhyl is beyond explanation. A cursory glance at the fate of Caernarfon Town will give Rhyl fans a clue as to what the future might hold, despite their team finishing sixth.
The Super 12 was "ill-conceived, badly planned and unfairly implemented" according to a statement from Gap Connah’s Quay, who are by no means a lone voice. It would be surprising if Rhyl, plus rejected promotion candidates Afan Lido and Llangefni, did not share that damning critique.
