List of people from Cardiff
Shirley Bassey at Wembley Arena , 2006
Cardiff (; Welsh : Caerdydd ⓘ Welsh pronunciation: [kairˈdiːð, kaˑɨrˈdɨːð] ) is the capital and largest city of Wales . Many notable people were born in Cardiff or share a strong association with the city, ranging from historical figures such as Henry Morgan to more recent figures such as Roald Dahl , Ken Follett and Griff Rhys Jones . In particular, the city has been the birthplace of international sportsmen and women, including Olympic athletes such as Paulo Radmilovic , Tanni Grey-Thompson and Colin Jackson . Many professional and international footballers, such as Craig Bellamy , Gareth Bale , Ryan Giggs and Joe Ledley , and former managers of the Wales national football team Terry Yorath and John Toshack were born in Cardiff, as were a number of international rugby union and rugby league players including Frank Whitcombe , Billy Boston , Gareth Llewellyn and Colin Dixon .
Cardiff is also well known for its musicians such as Ivor Novello , after whom the Ivor Novello Awards are named. Shirley Bassey is familiar to many as the singer of three James Bond movie theme tunes, while Charlotte Church is famous as a crossover classical/pop singer, and Shakin' Stevens was one of the top selling male artists in the UK during the 1980s. A number of Cardiff-based bands, such as Catatonia and the Super Furry Animals , were popular during the 1990s.
