Nantlle Vale F.C (Welsh: Clwb Peldroed Dyffryn Nantlle) is a Welsh football club from Penygroes, near Caernarfon, probably formed in 1920. They play in the fourth tier of Welsh football in the Welsh Alliance League. They were notorious in the early 1970s for their very robust style of play, when the team featured noted hard men such as player-manager Orig Williams - a professional wrestler by trade, who fought under the stage name El Bandito - and defender Idris Evans, better known by his nickname of Tarw Nefyn. Williams was once famously sent off in only the third minute of a match at Bangor City. His autobiography Cario'r Ddraig was published in the 1990s.
