CARDIFF CITY skipper Graham Kavanagh believes his dream of again wearing the green shirt of the Republic of Ireland can become a reality in the next 12 months.
The Bluebirds midfielder opened up on his Irish hopes in a candid interview with The Western Mail as he prepares to lead his team out against IFK Malmo in the third and final match of their Scandinavian tour.

THE way he has kept in tip-top shape by working out during his summer break;
HIS shock that so many players had turned down a move to Ninian Park in the last few weeks.
