The Museum has acquired a copy of Mark Aizlewood's 2009 autobiography which is titled 'Amddiffyn Fy Hun' and published in Welsh. What we need is a Welsh Addick who can tell what it says. Any takers ?

    Girlfriend is Welsh, she thinks that means "My own Defence" and a quick check on google translate suggests that too.

    She's not fluent though and wouldn't be able to translate the whole text.

    Well thanks guys. That has got the title sorted out. Actually I think it means 'Defending Myself'. Now who is going to translate the rest of the book for us? The Museum copy has been specially signed by Mark (possibly from his cell) and I will have it available for inspection before the Norwich friendly on 28th July. That gives you plenty of time to brush up on your Welsh!!

    Strange he didn’t release an English language version, limits the market potential somewhat.
