Happy St. David's Day, Bluebirds! | Cardiff (Cardiff City)

St. David's Day has been celebrated in Wales since roughly the 12th century, when David was formally canonised by Pope Callixtus II. Ninian Park. WALES ...

The Bluebirds last tasted success on March 1st way back in 1994, with a 2-1 home win over Burnley in Division Two. Goals from Garry Thompson and Phil Stant were enough to down the Clarets, despite Steve Davis scoring for Jimmy Mullen’s men. In 1959, another match against England saw a record turnout of 62,634; it was to be Wales’ record attendance for another 40 years, and turned out to be the largest crowd ever recorded at Ninian Park. In total, our former home hosted 88 Wales international matches, second only to the Racecourse, with 92. Wales first played at Cardiff City Stadium in November 2009, with a 3-0 victory over Scotland. Since then, CCS has played host to 42 international fixtures, including Wales’ famous 1-0 victory over Belgium in 2015 and a 2-0 Aaron Ramsey inspired win against Hungary in 2019 which booked the nation’s place at UEFA EURO 2020. In total, 74 players have played for Wales whilst representing the Bluebirds at club level. Sherwood’s club record stood until 2016, with Aron Gunnarsson going on to make 62 appearances for Iceland during his time in South Wales. City’s youngest Welsh-cap holder is Chris Gunter, who made his debut in May 2017 at the age of seventeen. The Welsh national team has been playing matches at the home of the Bluebirds for over a century, with the first fixture at Ninian Park coming against Scotland on March 6th, 1911.
