What the Welsh World Cup Win Over England Meant to Me

Lee Davy shares his own private feelings that rose to the surface during Wales’s iconic victory over England during the Rugby World Cup this weekend.

“They called you a gook! What’s a gook?”

Of all the places I had to be, at the time my Aunt shouted out that phrase, it had to be a Vietnamese restaurant.

Such was the ignorance of the people I grew up with, they couldn’t even get the country right, when poking holes so large, I felt my shame fall through them like a carcass hitting the deck in a slaughterhouse.
