Wales boss Robert Page wants Michael Sheen at World Cup after 'fantastic' speech
Wales manager Robert Page plans to invite Michael Sheen to the World Cup after the Hollywood actor's "significant" speech on television. Sheen's passionate oratory on Sky's sports panel show A League of Their Own has gone viral on social media, with the two-minute clip having had over 13million views. Olympic gold medallist Michael Johnson posted on Twitter that Sheen's performance "sounds awesome", while Match of the Day host Gary Lineker said it had given him "goosebumps". Page and his players are keen to meet the Damned United and Frost/Nixon star, saying the presence of the Port Talbot-raised actor in Qatar can help them at the World Cup in November. "He's coming to the first (World Cup) game with me," said Page, speaking after signing a new four-year contract that sees him in charge of Wales for the 2024 European Championship and 2026 World Cup qualifying campaigns. "It's fantastic. I well up every time I watch it. I'd been in a meeting in Cardiff and my phone was going mad so I knew something significant had happened. "When I watched it, wow, (I was) very emotional. "Personally I want to thank him for doing that. I want to let him know that I appreciate what he's done there. Because we're on the map, but he's taken it to another level for us. "I've already had messages from the players... they want to get him in straightaway, absolutely." Sheen was appearing on the Sky One show alongside Jamie Redknapp, Micah Richards and England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who Wales could come up against in their World Cup group game. In his speech, Sheen referred to the fixture against England, saying: "Give them some Welsh sugar."
