The Prince of Wales The King of Wales, such passion, such power, absolutley awesome delivery, they dont quite know what to make of him, but I love him xx

Cheers Gav

[@wrutherfordx3x]

As a Scot 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, I find honest, passionate and uplifting speeches involving one man's thoughts on his own country moving, irrespective of nation. We all love our own country and, dislike it equally as much at times, but when someone stirs your emotions through speech and imagery it's hard not to be taken by it. Well done Martin. Well done Wales🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

[@up2now]

The land that gave us Richard Burton, Anthony Hopkins & now Michael Sheen. What power he has, just love this man, brilliant actor and all round human being.

[@msbluejayway]

I'm not even British, let alone Welsh, and I find this incredibly moving.

[@Fledermausmann]

I may or may not have obsessively listened to the song "Yma O Hyd" for the past few days because I was so incredibly inspired by this man here.... Me Nan always loved Wales, ever since she taught there in, '54 I think it were. In fact, my grandparents were married in Llanwnda in '56. Made the local news since they were probably the only non-Welsh couple to have been married there in twenty years or so...

[@bradws4eva]

Now I'm supporting Wales too. I might just have to move there now, what a speaker!

[@totts5129]

WOW!! I ain't Welsh, but DAAAMN!! Good luck, hope to play you in the final Bless🙏

@@gabemore1766 Why not? It's better than them moving here and having a massive superiority complex like the English do while trying to denigrate our langauge and culture. Tell my Polish mum who has lived here for 40 years, learnt Welsh, gave birth to two Welsh kids, supports Welsh independence, supports Wales over Poland in any sport and votes for Plaid that she isn't Welsh.

Still so proud of our boys. Never thought when I started supporting Wales on a school trip to the Racecourse that this iswhere it would be. ❤❤❤

[@martinr6298]

I'm English through and through but have long since given up on the England side - so much talent being wasted. And no passion. I grew up with the legend of John Charles from my father and with Sprake, Yorath, Flynn, Speed etc Sheen's speech. As rousing as Elizabeth I at Tilbury, Henry V at Agincourt, and John of Gaunt, and matching Shakespeare's eloquence, and delivered with such passion and feeling. I know who i want to watch at Qatar

[@aahswales5297]

Rob Page from one Rhondda man to another please play this to the team before every game, if they don't get inspiration from this they don't have welsh blood in their veins. well done Michael Sheen.

@@DavosJamos you try writing poem then demanding an all-star audience. They'd politely say " no offence but who the f are you? Do one!"

He was on the panel show for being one of the best welsh actors. He used that opportunity to promote the welsh team with a fantastic speech. The welsh team invited him to give the speech in person.

[@barnbersonol]

@@DavosJamos due to the persistence and validity of your responses ove decided to withdraw my original rant and say OK. Point taken well said. I still find him slightly iritating and attention seeking and bandwagon jumping though.

[@molybdomancer195]

The team specifically asked their manager to arrange this because they loved the speech he gave at A League of their Own. Surely they can chose who they invite?
