sporting wales issue NINEteen Cover story - Luke Charteris
In This Issue:
Like everyone else, SportingWales were absolutely shocked by the tragic death of Gary Speed.
But the sporting world went on, respectfully and never forgetting, not quite knowing what to say.
Swansea City, Cardiff City, all of Welsh football, all of Welsh rugby, all of Welsh sport reacted with dignity and compassion.
There was a World Cup, Wales did well, plenty of other Welsh sports people have achieved notable things. We cover plenty of all that in the following pages. The sporting world keeps turning, but we will never forget how we were put in a spin by news we could not quite take in until we had no choice.

MALKY MACKAY
Hands cupped to his mouth, barking instructions in a broad Scottish lilt, fingers jabbing in the direction of players, organising, instructing, and the odd sip of water from the nearby bottle. This is how Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay spends the ninety plus minutes of a match day.
EVAN HOYT
The hallowed turf of Stradey Park has been home to several sporting legends, but up to now they have all been rugby players. One young man who wants to change all that is tennis player Evan Hoyt.
DARREN MORGAN
Darren Morgan has been something of a thorn in the side of six-times world snooker champion Steve Davis, as much as the Welsh ace admires the Romford legend.
WALES WORLD CUP REVIEW
The best performance in Rugby World Cup for 24 years, potential finalists rather than being on the first set of flights home, but also some lessons for Wales to ponder if they are ever to get better.
LUKE CHARTERIS
Luke Charteris has an unusual weight problem – working out the right amount to put on, when he laughingly says his natural weight would be five or six stone.
