0:02:07 > 0:02:11- He loved the game and wanted - to be involved as much as he could.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- He managed the team and my Saturdays - were spent at Blaenrhondda Park.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- I enjoyed playing with all the boys - in the school environment.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- Luckily, I had a headmaster at - Dunraven Primary who didn't mind...
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- ..and he allowed me to play - in the boys' five-a-side team...
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- ..and the boys' competitions.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34- I was treated as a player.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Was becoming a manager - always a part of your plans?

0:03:08 > 0:03:12- I'm enjoying every part of it - but there's lot of different parts.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- It's a very different role...
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- ..to anything people assume - within the men's game.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- When you think - of a senior team manager role...
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- ..compared to what I do - it's a very different one.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- It's about developing - young players...
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- ..not just standing - on the side of the pitch.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01- We're not expected - to push those top nations.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- We've shown that we can compete - with nations ranked above us.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- We've got to continue it.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- If we manage to keep everybody fit, - I'm sure we can compete.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- everybody else is semi or amateur.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- They're all working or studying.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- For us, as a group, - we acknowledge that...
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- ..we have to overcome - certain hurdles because of it.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44- I don't see - why there can't be another myself...
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- ..or another Jess Fishlock...
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- ..or another top level player - coming through our ranks.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- We provide a training environment - that gets them to the top level.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- They have to understand - how much commitment...
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- ..they have to put in - to reach that level.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06- There are so many opportunities now - for young players within Wales.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02- They have the momentum to take - it on against England.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- How tough is it without - full-time players?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- All the English players - will be full-time.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- They have a huge amount of - preparation time.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- You have to appreciate - how good they are.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35- What did you make of England - appointing Phil Neville as coach?
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- It's an interesting appointment. The - focus has to be on the girls.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- It's not about Phil Neville really.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Your generation inspired - the current generation.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17- He regretted punching the - flag immediately.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- I only scored three goals for Wales.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- We have seen it with West Ham and - Crystal Palace and Swansea City.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26- Carvalhal has changed at all.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Is it just a different voice - that makes a difference?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- Need players like a manager who - empathises with them.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Sometimes a manager forces his - character onto a squad.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01- They have to do that really.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- It's working at The Liberty Stadium.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Today, in Knighton, - I'm stepping back into childhood.

0:11:59 > 0:12:02- A defensive flick. - Who won - you or Geraint?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- It was fairly even at the time.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- You can have one shot - and you have a defence too.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- There's a lot of movement. - Some of these lads are sweating.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- They're good, they're good.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- The game isn't as popular now - as it was in the '70s...
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- ..but Subbuteo is still popular - in some countries.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- The World Champions in Italy - and Spain play Subbuteo...
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- ..as well as Ronnie O'Sullivan - plays snooker.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39- In their - Sports Personality of the Year...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- ..they had a guy in the top three.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Tom Taylor's Subbuteo shop - closed many years ago...
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- ..but he organises - regular contests in Knighton...
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- ..and continues to be a good player.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- 0-0, but by no means a boring game.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57- Save.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58- What a save!

0:13:15 > 0:13:18- I've told you who to mark.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- They're walking it in. - Typical Arsenal.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- Here we go, here we go.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Full-time. - Thank you, Tom, thank you so much.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Thank you for the little lesson - as well.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38- Most of the players are reliving - the nostalgia of their childhoods...
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- ..but one player showed - that Subbuteo...
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- ..has inspired - a new generation of players.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- I'm No.1 in the UK - for the Under-12s...
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- ..and No.47 in the world - for the Under-12s.

0:13:52 > 0:13:56- I'm the same, all my children - are playing computer games...
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- ..but this is very different.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00- Is this better?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- I find it better to compete against. - It's more tactical.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09- Ruby reached the semi-final - of the individual competition...
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- ..before losing to eventual winner - Phil Dacey from Cardiff.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Cardiff were also crowned - the team champions.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- I don't usually like - reliving the past...
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- ..because memories - tend to be better than reality.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- I must say, - Subbuteo hasn't disappointed.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- It's still here - and maybe it's here to stay.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Flick to kick.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43- You two were too busy playing - for real to play much Subbuteo.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- It was a thrill to play for
0:15:09 > 0:15:10- We played every other season.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- It took 15 years to get 50 caps.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38- I'm a hard-working Merthyr girl.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Do you have a good team - at the moment?
0:15:41 > 0:15:42- We have two good teams.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- The older girls are - doing really well.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- They don't remember me playing.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- Jess Fishlock is their hero.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- She is a real role model for them.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- They see that there is a chance to - get a professional contract.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- Here's a blast - from the past for you.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- An FA Cup match - with Laura McAllister.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Laura McAllister will be - devastated by those glasses.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- We were taking on - Inter Cardiff in the FA Cup.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- The conditions weren't great. I - was born a little too early.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- Those old pictures - may have Kath in a spin...
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- ..which is fitting really - because it's Pendro next.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Look at that one! - What's he trying to do?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- That one's heading for outer space.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54- Hopeless.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57- That's special.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- We'll never get that ball back, - that's for sure.
0:18:10 > 0:18:16- He looks up, keeps his head, - sends the goalkeeper the wrong way.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Thank you and goodnight.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- Nain would have saved that.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Come on, lads, - you're better than this.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33- Oh, no!
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- There's the league table. Llangefni - are winning at the moment.
0:18:58 > 0:18:59- My girls would love to try that.

0:19:10 > 0:19:14- Malcs, you saw Cardiff City - beat Bolton 2-0 last night.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- They are one point adrift - of the automatic promotion places.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- They look to be enjoying themselves.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- It wasn't the best performance - but they still won.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- They are a huge danger - from all set pieces.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40- They have a very strong - squad to compete.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42- The desire is there.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Neil Warnock is making a - huge difference.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- Every one of the 15 games they - have left are finals.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- They need to win the next home - game against Middlesbrough.

0:21:17 > 0:21:21- A lot of the boys haven't played - anyone out of our conference.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- It's a different challenge - and a different style of football.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Livingston and Queen of the South...
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- ..were good quality - Championship sides.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Elgin was more comfortable.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36- Dumbarton will be a big challenge.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- They squeezed past Connah's Quay - in the final seconds.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45- They are the favourites being that - they are used to winning leagues.
