Watch: Michael Sheen delivers one of the greatest Welsh rallying calls ever
Most people freely acknowledge that when/if Wales gains independence that Michael Sheen will be immediately installed as leader.
Of course, we say that with tongue planted firmly in cheek, but then who would deny such a patriotic Welshman who has always flown the Welsh flag on a global stage.
If you were watching this week’s episode of Sky Sports’ sports comedy quiz A League Of Their Own you would certainly ascribe to the view that the actor, campaigner and all-round Welsh icon should most definitely be the man to front an indepenenedent Wales.
When asked to recite a stirring speech for Robert Page’s Wales ahead of their World Cup clash with England, Sheen produces what could only be described as one of the most rousing, stirring, spine-tingling rallying cries in the history of brilliant speeches.
When he finishes he receives a standing ovation from a wildly cheering audience, while host Romesh Ranganathan proclaims: “Wow. I have never felt more Welsh!”
If Robert Page doesn’t play this before Wales take the field against England in the World Cup, somebody needs to have a word.
Sound up. Headphones on. Enjoy!

Actor Michael Sheen, besides having a social conscience, also understands the democratic deficit Wales suffers still. In 2017 he returned his 2009 OBE awarded to attend and give a lecture on Welsh Culture & Identity at the Raymond Williams Society. He said in a video interview to journalist Owen Jones that he did it after researching and learning about the real truth about the history & abuse Wales received at the hands of the English Monarchy.

Ledge! Port Talbot will be happy to hand our greatest ever son over, to be the first President of an independent, republican Cymru!!

Wow! This guy can motivate, inspire, create pride, hope, a dream. We are going to need more of this in our struggle to break free!
It’s not difficult to see why Michael Sheen is one of the two most popular and loved men in Wales. A toss-up between him and Gareth Bale, surely?
