0:00:51 > 0:00:54- As it happens, - it's not on a football pitch...
0:00:55 > 0:00:56- ..but in a pub.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00- The Wynnstay Arms, Wrexham, - is central to the story.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05- All supporters worth - their salt should know about it.

0:01:14 > 0:01:18- ..that the Football - Association Of Wales was founded.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- The association had met once before - in a pub in Rhiwabon.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- As it happens, it had the same name.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- But the meeting in this Wynnstay...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33- ..formalized everything...
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- ..and rubber-stamped the deal.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40- Now, the FAW office...
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- ..is located in South Wales.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- But North-East Wales, - and one man in particular...
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- ..is vital to - the game's early history.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55- Does the name Llewelyn Kenrick - mean anything to you?
0:01:55 > 0:01:56- Probably not.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- But Llewelyn Kenrick...
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- ..is more important - to Welsh football history...
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- ..than Ian Rush - and even Gareth Bale.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Llewelyn Kenrick - was the bloke who started it all.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- He was born - to a former coalmaster family.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- They lived in Wynne Hall, - near Rhiwabon.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19- He was a lawyer.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- As a young man, he was - a gifted and nimble defender...
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- ..in the local team, the Druids, - one of the area's strongest teams.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- The Druids are still going today.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- They don't play in Wynnstay Park, - as they did in Kenrick's time...
0:02:37 > 0:02:41- ..but at The Rock Stadium, - Rhosymedre, near Wrexham.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- When he was 29, Kenrick was - inspired by a letter in a paper...
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- ..discussing the idea - of forming a national rugby team.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- He decided to put a notice - in The Field magazine in 1876...
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- ..asking for men to play...
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- ..in Wales's first - international football game.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- After a favourable response...
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- ..four trials were held - at the Racecourse Stadium, Wrexham.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- He selected himself - as a defender and captain...
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- ..and chose the rest of the team.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- Meilyr Emrys has written a doctorate - about early Welsh football history.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- As we'll see, Kenrick's - first team was a mixed bunch...
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- ..to put it mildly.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- How are you?
0:03:34 > 0:03:35- How are you?- - Not bad. You?
0:03:35 > 0:03:36- Great.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- So this is Wales's first team ever.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- This is the team - that played against Scotland...
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- ..in Glasgow, in March 1876.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Many of them weren't born in Wales.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Four members of the team - were born in England...
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- ..and Dr Grey in Scotland.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- This still happens now.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- Many players, like Ashley - Williams, are proudly Welsh.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10- He's the Wales captain, - but he was born over the border.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- This Jones had an amusing nickname.
0:04:13 > 0:04:18- He's the only Jones in the team. - You'd expect to see many Joneses!
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- John Jones was called - 'Dirty' Jack Jones!
0:04:22 > 0:04:23- He was a miner.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- They were all amateurs - and had a range of jobs.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- But he wasn't called - Dirty Jack because of his job.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- It seems it had more to do - with his footballing style!
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- Many of them were - fine cricketers too.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- It shows the link between - cricket and football at the time.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- The Wrexham FC team...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- ..developed from - the local cricket club.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- That was true in many other clubs - in Wales and England...
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- ..from Sheffield United - to Porthmadog.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Cricket players wanted - something to do in winter.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- So they set up football teams.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- This was the team sheet on the day.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- Down here, it shows - their positions on the field.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- Goalkeeper, two at the back, - two centre halves...
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- ..then the other six were forwards.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25- These players' job was - to get the ball forward quickly.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- It was up to these six to attack.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- What happened in the game?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Unfortunately, Wales lost 4-0.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- Mind you, they lost - 9-0 two years later!
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- How many of these - played again for Wales?

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- That was the national - team's first win.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54- And in England!

0:05:58 > 0:06:02- A Welsh player missed the train. - They only had ten players.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Llewelyn Kenrick ran on the pitch - in his everyday clothes.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- He apparently played a stormer, - until his knee gave way.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- It was apt that Llewelyn - Kenrick played in that game.
0:06:16 > 0:06:22- He was part of the first win, after - all his work for football in Wales.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- He was there for the big victory.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- The first international - games were friendlies...
0:06:28 > 0:06:33- ..until the British Home - Championship was founded in 1884...

0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Wales won the championship - twelve times...
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- ..until it ended in 1984.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40- A fine pub it is too!
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Do you want to know the score?

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- For a long time, - the British Championship...

0:08:28 > 0:08:33- By the mid 20th century, football - was well and truly a global game.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- But some British - football associations...
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- ..were reluctant to recognize this.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- England played their - first overseas match in 1908.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Wales didn't do so until 1933.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- The British football associations, - especially Wales...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- ..had a very insular - attitude at the time.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- They were rather snobbish...
0:08:58 > 0:09:03- ..about the associations springing - up like mushrooms on the continent.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- But by the 1950s, Wales - and the British associations...
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- ..had to accept - that many European teams...
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- ..were as good as, - if not better, than them.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19- That became clear in their attempts - to reach the World Cup final rounds.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- We didn't qualify in 1950 or 1954.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- But in 1957, - an interesting situation arose.
