0:01:50 > 0:01:54- Elis James went to meet him and we - start by taking a look back in time.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- I'm here at the Madejski Stadium, - home of Reading FC.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- I have the honour of meeting - one of my favourite players ever...
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- ..Mr Chris Gunter.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10- Now then, Chris, do you think - playing international football...
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- ..means more to you - than other footballers?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14- I really appreciate it.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19- I've said before, not just myself - but in terms of the feeling...
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- ..we get as a team from the fans - and the country at the minute.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- It's something - I've never experienced.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- It's a very powerful thing.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Do you, as a player, - drift back to the Euros?
0:02:33 > 0:02:35- I'm not one to overly look back.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- Oh, I am.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- Does it not make it worse - because you almost want to go back?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- I still sometimes say it to Aaron - when I'm speaking to him...
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- ..life was a lot easier in Dinard.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- It was just this wave. - No real responsibility.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- You were away from home, - everything was done for you.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Our job was to go training - and prepare for these massive games.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- I think that the chin up, that's - my favourite photo of all time.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Daughter and family, - not withstanding.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Is it not, no?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- I think that is our Gazza's tears.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- That for me sums up - the tournament...
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- ..almost as much, - if not more, as the goals.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- When you did it, - did you have any inkling?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- No, because obviously - when the goal went in...
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- ..and you knew - we were probably going to lose...
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- ..and stuff...
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- ..that felt like the end of - the world at that particular time.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44- Probably me thinking if I was in the - stand and saw a player doing that...
0:03:44 > 0:03:49- ..if the player is OK, if he's - telling me to keep my head up...
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- ..I just felt that for that game, - we'd worked too hard...
0:03:54 > 0:03:59- ..for the last two years, - four years, six years, to qualify...
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- ..for it all to be about England - and the England game.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- It was bigger than that for us, - we were in a major tournament.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- Yeah, we've lost but if we go and - beat Russia, we're going through.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- I don't think - that was a Welsh thing.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- That was the media - in terms of Wales v England.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- We'd worked too hard - to let one defeat to England...
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- ..spoil our experience and - obviously, ultimately, it didn't.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- Because of that, - the shackles were off us...
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- ..and everyone knows - how we went on to play.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- If that England last-minute goal - hadn't have happened...
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- ..I'm not sure we'd have done - as well as we could have.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- At the time, - you think it's the end of the world.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Looking back, maybe it was - one of the best things...
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- ..that did happen for us.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Chris Gunter talking to Elis James.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- Chris Gunter - has a great record for Wales.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- He is criticized - but he always turns up.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- No one has been able to - take his place.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- He will break all records.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47- John is another who has always - been a favourite with the fans.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Scoring in a Old Firm match - certainly helps!

0:05:58 > 0:05:59- It was very important to me.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Scoring a winner made me want - to run to the home fans.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19- The fans love that relationship.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Owain, you have played in Scotland.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- We forget the size - of Celtic Football Club...
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- ..and John's status within it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Celtic and Rangers - are more than football clubs.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- They are institutions.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Walking into Parkhead or Ibrox is - like walking into a museum.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- I'm sure John won a lot - of games there.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Will we see another Hartson - playing for Wales?

0:07:08 > 0:07:11- He's a very good player. He has - to keep on developing.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- My father told me that Joni is twice - the player I was at that age.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- He might beat Chris Gunter's record!
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- He is obsessed with football.
0:07:31 > 0:07:38- If he has the right attitude - then he has half a chance.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39- He absolutely loves the game.

0:18:31 > 0:18:36- I played against him and met him - at different times and stuff.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Now that's different, - he's your manager.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59- ..but it was like, Ryan Giggs.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- Yeah, he would have impacted - everyone one of us in the squad.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- I think you always give - that respect instantly...
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- ..because he is your manager...
0:19:11 > 0:19:16- ..and he is the one that you need to - help you and you need to help him.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- I mean, he ticks every box.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- How long does that respect last?

0:19:29 > 0:19:32- With the younger boys - coming into the squad...
0:19:32 > 0:19:37- ..like Ethan Ampadu, - Ben Woodburn, David Brooks.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- They're in the squad - because they're good enough.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- You don't really need to...
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- I can't go telling Ben - how to shoot from 30 yards.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- If there's little things that you - can help them with off the pitch...
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- ..but generally, we are still young - and there's a lot more to come.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- That Ireland evening was one - of the worst but it wasn't the end.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- I think that's the sense - from everyone.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Because we had the Euros - and we failed to qualify...
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- ..I think, from the outside, - people are thinking...
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- ..that Welsh thing - has been and gone.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- We know that that - is a load of nonsense.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- We're still completely on - this upward path.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- That's the pleasing thing to know...
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- ..that we have that - for a good few years yet.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- It's been an absolute pleasure, - lovely to meet you.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48- Thanks to Elis James - for speaking with Chris Gunter.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- Chris Gunter says it's not - the end of the journey for Wales.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Ryan Giggs's first squad - will be interesting.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- How important will that squad be?
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- I hope the squad can stay - together and stick together.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- I won't be surprised if some of the - more experienced players...
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- ..might not feel part of - their future.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33- They might retire.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- It happens quite often when new - manager's come in.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- Some players just don't feel that - they belong any more.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- I think two or three players - will call it a day.
0:21:59 > 0:22:05- Ashley Williams has come in - for a lot of stick recently.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- He was sent off for - Everton last weekend.
0:22:14 > 0:22:20- He is having a tough time - at the moment.
0:22:20 > 0:22:29- It's only natural people - are talking about him.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- He's 33 and his best days - might be behind him.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- I think he has one more - campaign in him for Wales.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- The younger players must push him.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- You know Ryan Giggs.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- It's impossible to know what he'll - be like as a new manager.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- I wanted to congratulate him - when he got the job.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- It was always a job that he would be - the number one choice for.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- It's important that everybody - is seen to back him.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- It will depend on results - at the end of the day.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Chris Coleman had a very - poor start as manager.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- It was the same with Gary Speed.
