Former Everton goalkeeper Southall, speaking at a Football Pools event, said: "For a Cardiff fan, for the number of times they have nearly got there, it must be the sweetest night they have had.Southall, who won 92 caps during a 15-year international career, believes there could ultimately be spin-offs for the Wales national team, although that might take time.It is brilliant (having two Welsh Premier League clubs), and if we can get a hat-trick with Newport or Wrexham being promoted (from the Conference) that would be even better.It would be nice if they could get some home-grown players. But I am not expecting a massive turnover, although I am sure they will buy for what they want to achieve. In fairness, if you ask a Cardiff or Swansea fan if they would rather have a good Welsh player or a super-duper foreign player, I think they would go for a super-duper foreign player.That would probably be the best season Welsh football has ever had. I can't remember a time like it.It may have a good effect if people in Cardiff want to play, but it may have the opposite effect - people have less patience in the Premier League and want success straight away he added.One (club) has been shown to have a good manager and good strategy in Swansea, and one has had some troubled times and have come through it and deserve to be in the Premier League.
