Ian walsh

Former Welsh international Ian Walsh will be the hospitality guest speaker for the League Two clash with Carlisle at Rodney Parade on Saturday, December 7 (3pm). 

Walsh made 18 appearances for Wales between 1979-82, scoring seven goals, after carving out an impressive career with Crystal Palace, Swansea City, Barnsley, Grimsby and Cardiff. 

Having been brought up in St David’s, Pembrokeshire, the striker won the FA Youth Cup with Palace before going on to establish himself as a first-team regular and playing an important part in the Eagles' Second Division title triumph in 1978-1979 under Terry Venables in a side dubbed 'The Team of the 80s'. 
Since hanging up his boots, Walsh has worked for BBC Wales as a commentator and pundit, plus as an independent financial advisor. 

He is also a Prostate Cymru Cancer ambassador after being diagnosed and treated for the illness in 2023.
