-The story of Welsh football -is one worth telling. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:07 | |
-As in all good stories, -there are heroes... | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
-..and villains. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
-There are tough, physical battles... | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
-..and emotional ones too. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
-In the series, -I'll visit village grounds... | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
-Save! | 0:00:25 | 0:00:26 | |
-..and city stadiums. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
-I'll meet the people -who helped shape the game in Wales. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
-The story of football in Wales. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
-Where do we start? | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
-As it happens, -it's not on a football pitch... | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
-..but in a pub. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:56 | |
-The Wynnstay Arms, Wrexham, -is central to the story. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
-All supporters worth -their salt should know about it. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:05 | |
-Here we are. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:08 | |
-It was in this room, -on February 2, 1876... | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
-..that the Football -Association Of Wales was founded. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
-The association had met once before -in a pub in Rhiwabon. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-As it happens, it had the same name. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
-But the meeting in this Wynnstay... | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
-..formalized everything... | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
-..and rubber-stamped the deal. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
-Now, the FAW office... | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
-..is located in South Wales. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
-But North-East Wales, -and one man in particular... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
-..is vital to -the game's early history. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-Does the name Llewelyn Kenrick -mean anything to you? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
-Probably not. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
-But Llewelyn Kenrick... | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
-..is more important -to Welsh football history... | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
-..than Ian Rush -and even Gareth Bale. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-Llewelyn Kenrick -was the bloke who started it all. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
-He was born -to a former coalmaster family. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-They lived in Wynne Hall, -near Rhiwabon. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
-He was a lawyer. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
-As a young man, he was -a gifted and nimble defender... | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-..in the local team, the Druids, -one of the area's strongest teams. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
-The Druids are still going today. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
-They don't play in Wynnstay Park, -as they did in Kenrick's time... | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
-..but at The Rock Stadium, -Rhosymedre, near Wrexham. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
-When he was 29, Kenrick was -inspired by a letter in a paper... | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
-..discussing the idea -of forming a national rugby team. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:49 | |
-He decided to put a notice -in The Field magazine in 1876... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-..asking for men to play... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
-..in Wales's first -international football game. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
-After a favourable response... | 0:03:04 | 0:03:06 | |
-..four trials were held -at the Racecourse Stadium, Wrexham. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
-He selected himself -as a defender and captain... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
-..and chose the rest of the team. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-Meilyr Emrys has written a doctorate -about early Welsh football history. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
-As we'll see, Kenrick's -first team was a mixed bunch... | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
-..to put it mildly. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
-How are you? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
-How are you? - -Not bad. You? | 0:03:34 | 0:03:35 | |
-Great. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:36 | |
-So this is Wales's first team ever. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
-This is the team -that played against Scotland... | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
-..in Glasgow, in March 1876. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
-Many of them weren't born in Wales. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
-Four members of the team -were born in England... | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
-..and Dr Grey in Scotland. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
-This still happens now. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
-Many players, like Ashley -Williams, are proudly Welsh. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
-He's the Wales captain, -but he was born over the border. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:10 | |
-This Jones had an amusing nickname. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
-He's the only Jones in the team. -You'd expect to see many Joneses! | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
-John Jones was called -'Dirty' Jack Jones! | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-He was a miner. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
-They were all amateurs -and had a range of jobs. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
-But he wasn't called -Dirty Jack because of his job. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:32 | |
-It seems it had more to do -with his footballing style! | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
-Many of them were -fine cricketers too. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
-It shows the link between -cricket and football at the time. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
-The Wrexham FC team... | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
-..developed from -the local cricket club. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
-That was true in many other clubs -in Wales and England... | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
-..from Sheffield United -to Porthmadog. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
-Cricket players wanted -something to do in winter. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
-So they set up football teams. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-This was the team sheet on the day. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
-Down here, it shows -their positions on the field. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
-Goalkeeper, two at the back, -two centre halves... | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
-..then the other six were forwards. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
-These players' job was -to get the ball forward quickly. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
-It was up to these six to attack. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
-What happened in the game? | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
-Unfortunately, Wales lost 4-0. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
-Mind you, they lost -9-0 two years later! | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
-How many of these -played again for Wales? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
-Very few of them won -more than a couple of caps. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
-In 1881, Wales played -against England in Blackburn. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
-That was the national -team's first win. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
-And in England! | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
-Kenrick wasn't supposed -to play in that game. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
-A Welsh player missed the train. -They only had ten players. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
-Llewelyn Kenrick ran on the pitch -in his everyday clothes. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
-He apparently played a stormer, -until his knee gave way. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
-It was apt that Llewelyn -Kenrick played in that game. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:16 | |
-He was part of the first win, after -all his work for football in Wales. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:22 | |
-He was there for the big victory. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
-The first international -games were friendlies... | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
-..until the British Home -Championship was founded in 1884... | 0:06:28 | 0:06:33 | |
-..and teams competed for this cup. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
-Wales won the championship -twelve times... | 0:06:36 | 0:06:40 | |
-..until it ended in 1984. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
-During that century... | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
-..Wales played most of their -home games at the Racecourse. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
-This is the oldest international -ground in the world still in use. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:57 | |
-BACKGROUND CHANTS WREXHAM | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
-Here's another feather -in the Racecourse's cap. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
-This is a 1906 film. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
-It shows an international between -Wales and Ireland, played here. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:27 | |
-It's the first film ever made -of an international football match. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:32 | |
-The only building we see is the Turf -pub, which is still here today. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
-A fine pub it is too! | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
-Do you want to know the score? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-It was a draw, 4-4. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:44 | |
-They managed to film four goals. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |
-SILENT MOVIE PIANO PLAYING | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
-This was the first time an injury -was filmed in a match too. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
-The player doesn't roll on -the ground and get stretchered off. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
-Different world! | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-For a long time, -the British Championship... | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
-..was the only competition -in which Wales played. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
-FIFA, the international football -federation, was founded in 1904. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:28 | |
-By the mid 20th century, football -was well and truly a global game. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:33 | |
-But some British -football associations... | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
-..were reluctant to recognize this. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
-England played their -first overseas match in 1908. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-Wales didn't do so until 1933. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |
-The British football associations, -especially Wales... | 0:08:48 | 0:08:52 | |
-..had a very insular -attitude at the time. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
-They were rather snobbish... | 0:08:55 | 0:08:57 | |
-..about the associations springing -up like mushrooms on the continent. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
-But by the 1950s, Wales -and the British associations... | 0:09:03 | 0:09:07 | |
-..had to accept -that many European teams... | 0:09:07 | 0:09:10 | |
-..were as good as, -if not better, than them. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
-That became clear in their attempts -to reach the World Cup final rounds. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:19 | |
-We didn't qualify in 1950 or 1954. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
-But in 1957, -an interesting situation arose. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
-We hadn't qualified by winning the -group, but we got a second chance. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
-Arabian teams refused to play Israel -because of the political situation. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:40 | |
-FIFA put the names of teams placed -second in their group in a hat. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
-Wales's name came out. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:46 | |
-We went on to beat Israel -in the play-offs, 2-0 in Tel Aviv... | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
-..then 2-0 again in Cardiff. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
-September 2015. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
-It seemed that history -was repeating itself. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
-Wales faced Israel -once more in a qualifier. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
-Wales! | 0:10:05 | 0:10:06 | |
-If we won, we'd reach the finals -of an international championship... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
-..for the first time since 1958. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:15 | |
-MEN OF HARLECH CHANT | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
-Or would we have -to wait a little longer? | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |

-Wales v Israel, September 2015. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
-Wales's fans hoped -that history would repeat itself... | 0:10:44 | 0:10:48 | |
-..and we'd beat Israel, to qualify -for the Euro 2016 final rounds. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
-It would be the first time -we'd play in the finals... | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
-..of an international -championship since 1958. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
-Had Wales's moment -of glory finally arrived? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
-COMMENTARY | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
-COMMENTARY - -It's a draw for Wales. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:09 | |
-There's no party in Cardiff yet. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
-Here at the Cardiff City Stadium, -the score is Wales 0, Israel 0. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:18 | |
-But back in 1958... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
-..Wales won. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
-It secured Wales's place in the -World Cup final rounds in Sweden. | 0:11:26 | 0:11:31 | |
-This Swansea street played -a central role in the story. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:36 | |
-It was in this house that -John Charles and Mel Charles... | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
-..two brothers playing -in that team in Sweden... | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
-..were born and brought up. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
-Down the road... | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
-..is the park where they had a -kickabout every day of their lives. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:57 | |
-Historian Geraint Jenkins -met me in Cwmbwrla Park... | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
-..to explain more -about the Alice Street stars. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
-How did this city produce so many -Welsh footballers in the fifties? | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
-Swansea fed a lot of players -into the national side. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
-Yes. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:17 | |
-Why was Swansea -a footballer factory? | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
-They used to say -there was something in the water. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
-Copper! | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
-Football was the working classes' -game between the two world wars. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
-This is where they were raised. -They played here all day. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:38 | |
-Cwmbwrla Park is -the Theatre of Dreams, Dewi. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:41 | |
-John and Mel Charles came here... | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
-..and many who were grew up -in Alice Street and nearby streets. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:49 | |
-Jackie Roberts played -for Bolton and won a Welsh cap. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
-Ernie Jones, the fast winger, -played for Spurs. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
-Mel Nurse was raised there, -although he was born in Fforestfach. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:04 | |
-He was known as Mr Swansea. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
-He was a giant on the field... | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
-..and the saviour of Swansea -when the club faced financial ruin. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:16 | |
-Why else was Swansea a factory? | 0:13:17 | 0:13:19 | |
-Schools were a major influence... | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
-..Cwmbwrla Junior -and Manselton Secondary Schools. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
-Dai Beynon was one of the teachers. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
-He was in charge -of Swansea Schoolboys. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
-It was a successful team. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
-He was a hard taskmaster -but the boys respected him. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
-It's because of him -that the boys round here... | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
-..played for Swansea Schoolboys. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
-They beat everyone in Wales, -and even the English. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
-They won the FA three times. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:54 | |
-It was an amazing feat. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
-The factory production line... | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
-..conveyed the boys -into the Swansea Youth Team... | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
-..and from there to -Swansea's first team and Wales. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
-Some went far with Wales... | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
-..to Sweden in 1958. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
-It was an important milestone. -Wales had a tough group. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:19 | |
-Mexico was the weakest team. -Hungary was a strong team. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
-They thrashed England -a few years earlier. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
-Sweden was the other team. People -didn't expect Wales to go far. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:31 | |
-Jimmy Murphy was the manager. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
-He was a fiery man -and a great patriot. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
-He swore like a trooper. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
-He had a flask of whisky -on the touchline... | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
-..for him and the players! | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
-He could inspire the boys. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
-Their first game against Hungary -ended in a 1-1 draw. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
-They expected to win -their second game against Mexico. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
-But they drew 1-1. -Then they played Sweden. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:03 | |
-It was an uninspired, goalless draw. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:08 | |
-At the end of the week... | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
-..Wales and Hungary -had three points apiece. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
-There was a play-off... | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
-..for a place -in the quarter-finals. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
-In the Hungary play-off... | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
-..the only way to stop John Charles -was by hacking him. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
-They were brutal and ruthless. He -was repeatedly hacked to the ground. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:37 | |
-The Russian referee -favoured Hungary. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
-Latychev, if I remember rightly. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
-John Charles could have won three -penalties. But they didn't get one. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:48 | |
