Does Prince William count, or maybe I'll just settle for "Jones the Voice"?

Paul Jones the current Southampton and Wales goalie was born in Chirk Clwyd.
Was the goalie when Stockport won promotion to Division 1 in 1996. It would surely be an oversight to have any other than him at number 1?
The Stockport manager at the time was Dave Jones. Although he was born in Liverpool surely his name indicates he has a little Taff in there somewhere and can therefore qualify at number 2.
Kieran Durkan (born in Chester, quite close to Wales) got transfered to Stockport County in 1996 and played an instrumental part in their success of that year. He came to Stockport from Wrexham. He is still Welsh at heart playing for Swansea. Hence he is my number 3.
That'll do for now!

I will give you a top ten, I doubt if I know 100 welsh people
1. Ivor the Engine
2. Orka (the killer Wale)
3. Raquel Welsh
4. Sian Jones (we had rumpy pumpy 20 years ago, it couldn't of been that good if she is below Ivor the engine)
5. Vinny Jones
6. Aled Jones (before his balls dropped)
7. Charlotte Church
8. Max Boyce
9. King Llewyln (The legend of King Arthur to the English)
10. That welsh page 3 bird that was about the same time as Sam Fox.
If Catherine Zeta Jones ever gets naked in a film I may consider her!
