Wales coach Toshack slams Ratcliffe, Rush

Wales coach John Toshack has slammed the nation's legends.

The former Real Madrid boss has named Kevin Ratcliffe, Neville Southall (both Everton) and Ian Rush (Liverpool) for suggesting that his emerging group of players should be performing better.

He said: "I can understand people saying that we need to step up, that the young lads are coming to a time where they need to deliver.

"I have heard some ex-players say about the young lads: 'It's fine, but they need to start delivering.' But they never delivered themselves. Rush, Ratcliffe, Southall... you look at the side that they had, the experienced players that they had, and the things they won at club level."
