0:01:50 > 0:01:53- On the banks of the Garonne river - among the vineyards...

0:01:57 > 0:01:59- The start of the journey - for the Dragons.

0:02:00 > 0:02:02- It was like being - in the Eisteddfod.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05- You saw people - you hadn't seen for years.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Maybe you'd see them now and again - when you went to the Eisteddfod.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36- I knew that it was essential - and crucial...

0:02:36 > 0:02:39- ..that we won that first game.

0:02:40 > 0:02:45- When we left to go to the game, I - was sitting on the bus with Osian.

0:02:54 > 0:02:57- ..waiting for autographs, - but never anything like this.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00- And we were in Bordeaux and - there were thousands outside.

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- It was important that no message - got through to the players...

0:03:05 > 0:03:08- ..that we treat - these games any differently...

0:03:09 > 0:03:12- ..because the message - was to carry on.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Although, everyone - knew deep down...

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- ..that it was a huge - and historic game...

0:03:18 > 0:03:19- ..for us in Wales.

0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Walking out for the first game, - we know it's very real now.

0:03:27 > 0:03:32- And of course, the stadium - was 60% or 70% Welsh.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34- The supporters were unbelievable.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37- The anthem was sung. - It was very emotional.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41- And it was like, "We belong here. - We can perform on this stage."

0:03:44 > 0:03:46- # Gwlad

0:03:46 > 0:03:50- I've never heard the anthem - being sung like that.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56- All the passion and everything - everyone... It was so loud.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00- It made the hairs on the - back of your neck stand up...

0:04:00 > 0:04:02- ..the way it was sung.

0:04:02 > 0:04:04- I'll take that day to my grave.

0:04:04 > 0:04:10- # I'r hen iaith barhau. #

0:04:36 > 0:04:37- He's going all the way!

0:04:42 > 0:04:45- When Ben got back, it was like - scoring a goal, to be honest.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- It was one of the highlights...

0:04:49 > 0:04:52- ..of all the highlights we had...

0:04:52 > 0:04:54- ..during the games in France.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00- We knew it would be difficult - but we had to get the win....

0:05:01 > 0:05:04- ..and Gareth stepped up - with one of his special moments.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07- COMMENTARY:- Gareth Bale, - Wales' big hope. And it's in!

0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Gareth Bale has put Wales ahead!

0:05:17 > 0:05:21- ..Gareth Bale, - you bring joy to my soul.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- That's what pure celebration - looks like.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32- We scored early on, ideally of - course, through Gareth's free-kick.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37- That meant that things were going - our way very early on in the game.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40- You start to think that - everything's going to work out.

0:05:40 > 0:05:44- But suddenly, - Slovakia started to settle.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46- COMMENTARY:- A good run.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- An opportunity - for the substitute here.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52- What a first touch!

0:05:52 > 0:05:54- That's how to make an impression!

0:05:54 > 0:05:59- Ondrej Duda equalizes for Slovakia.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04- But Wales also had substitutes - desperate to make an impression.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Welcome to the Euros, - Hal Robson-Kanu.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12- We were too nervous to think - about the game really.

0:06:12 > 0:06:14- Too nervous - to think about the result.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Obviously, we were hoping - for a win...

0:06:17 > 0:06:19- ..but I think everyone - was thinking...

0:06:19 > 0:06:23- .."We're here and that's all - that matters at the moment."

0:06:23 > 0:06:27- But when we got the result it was - just the icing on the cake, really.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- COMMENTARY:- Ramsey. - Can he control it?

0:06:31 > 0:06:32- Yes!

0:06:32 > 0:06:33- Yes!- - Robson-Kanu!

0:06:40 > 0:06:43- Scenes of pure joy!

0:06:44 > 0:06:47- And after weathering a storm...

0:06:48 > 0:06:50- To score the winner - in what was our first game...

0:06:51 > 0:06:53- ..in a major tournament - for however many years...

0:06:54 > 0:06:57- ..it was a special feeling - for myself and my family...

0:06:57 > 0:07:01- ..and it made working hard - to get there very much worthwhile.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05- COMMENTARY:- The referee puts - the whistle in his mouth...

0:07:05 > 0:07:07- ..and do you know what?

0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Wales have not only arrived...

0:07:11 > 0:07:14- ..they've arrived and they've won.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- It was a huge relief - after the final whistle.

0:07:17 > 0:07:20- We've won and we can relax - for a while now.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24- The boys have done the hard work - and we can enjoy ourselves now...

0:07:24 > 0:07:27- ..until the next game - against England.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31- After the victory, - everyone believed.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35- It went from a situation of being - hopeful and of dreaming...

0:07:35 > 0:07:40- ..to suddenly thinking, "Wow, we - could really do something here."

0:07:40 > 0:07:43- And of course, with every game - that feeling grew...

0:07:43 > 0:07:46- ..but that feeling was fuelled - by that first game.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49- From the vineyards - to the coal mines.

0:07:49 > 0:07:53- From the culture to the industry. - From the south to the north.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55- To the small town of Lens...

0:07:56 > 0:07:59- ..the location of the huge game - against England.

0:08:01 > 0:08:07- I live in England and of course - when England beat us at rugby...

0:08:07 > 0:08:11- ..or at football, I get that - constantly from friends and so on.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Wales' home during the tournament - was Dinard in Brittany.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18- A place the soul can rest.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21- But before the game - against England...

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- ..one of the Dragons - was full of mischief.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29- I never said they didn't - have passion or pride.

0:08:29 > 0:08:32- I just feel, in my opinion, - that we have more.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36- I'm sure they have their opinion - they have more also, so, yeah.

0:08:38 > 0:08:43- He was just having a laugh but it - might have wound them up a bit.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45- It put extra spice into the game.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48- It was everything the media wanted.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- How many England players would get - into the Welsh team?

0:08:52 > 0:08:53- None.

0:08:56 > 0:08:58- We got caught up in that - a little bit.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01- I don't think our performance was - one of our better performances.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Not saying we deserved - to lose the game...

0:09:04 > 0:09:07- ..but we definitely didn't - do enough to win it.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Good afternoon everyone. - Yes, the time has come.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16- We're about to find out - what happens...

0:09:17 > 0:09:21- ..when you throw a ball in - among lions and dragons.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31- COMMENTARY:- This feels as if - he's facing a penalty kick.

0:09:31 > 0:09:37- That's the experience of facing - him, no matter how far out he is.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39- He's capable of - embarrassing anyone.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41- Will he do it again?

0:09:41 > 0:09:43- And he has!

0:09:43 > 0:09:45- He has!

0:09:45 > 0:09:51- Every time you hope Gareth Bale - can do even better...

0:09:52 > 0:09:54- ..he does so every time.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57- He never disappoints you.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Is there a more accurate left foot?

0:10:01 > 0:10:04- He's a machine when it comes - creating embarrassment.

0:10:05 > 0:10:06- And he's proved it.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Bale scoring may have been - the worst thing...

0:10:12 > 0:10:13- ..that could have happened.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16- At half-time Hodgson, - the England manager...

0:10:16 > 0:10:19- ..made changes and that - changed the game.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Two substitutes, two strikers.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Jamie Vardy, who had just fired - Leicester to the title...

0:10:26 > 0:10:30- ..and Daniel Sturridge entered - the den to save the Lions.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35- It was nice to be able to sit - next to Osian Roberts' father.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- We'd have a chat now and then...

0:10:38 > 0:10:43- ..and in the second half he said - they're bringing Vardy on now.

0:10:43 > 0:10:48- And he said, "We should bring - Andy King on now to mark him."

0:10:48 > 0:10:50- And what happened?

0:10:50 > 0:10:52- He scored, didn't he?

0:10:52 > 0:10:54- He should have listened - to his father!

0:10:54 > 0:10:57- I won't tell him that!

0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Everyone has an opinion!

0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Maybe if we'd done that - and had listened...

0:11:03 > 0:11:06- ..and been aware, we wouldn't - have conceded that goal.

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- COMMENTARY:- Sturridge with - a clever pass in.

0:11:12 > 0:11:14- Vardy!

0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Wales were under pressure. - Every second was torture.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21- In the final seconds, - the torture got worse.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26- COMMENTARY:- Sturridge. Sturridge!

0:11:26 > 0:11:31- Daniel Sturridge has broken - Welsh hearts.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34- That weapon...

0:11:35 > 0:11:37- ..that can score...

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- ..has literally driven a knife...

0:11:40 > 0:11:44- ..into the heart of Welsh hopes.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49- The way they celebrated and the - relief they had when they scored...

0:11:50 > 0:11:54- ..it showed us a lot of credit - because they were very relieved...

0:11:54 > 0:11:58- ..to get that winning goal and - they knew they'd been in a game.

0:11:58 > 0:12:00- We didn't play very well.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03- That's the worst game we played - at the tournament, I think.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07- That was probably the hardest part - of the tournament, that loss.

0:12:07 > 0:12:11- If Wales had lost and the - second goal had been scored...

0:12:11 > 0:12:14- ..with 20 minutes to go, - no-one would have cared.

0:12:14 > 0:12:17- The fact that goal was so cruelly - late made everyone think...

0:12:18 > 0:12:20- .."Oh, we were so close."

0:12:20 > 0:12:23- But we had to get that - out of the way.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27- That England game took its toll - a little bit.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30- But on the flip side - of the coin...

0:12:30 > 0:12:33- ..it also made us super - determined for the next game.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37- We didn't want to experience - that disappointment again.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Inside we still feel strong, - we still feel happy.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43- We're enjoying the experience. - We have one more game to go.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- The tournament's not over yet.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- You knew very early on - in the tournament...

0:12:49 > 0:12:51- ..that this felt like a team.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54- It wasn't only the 11 men - out on the field.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58- That extended squad - was so important.

0:12:58 > 0:13:03- I think losing that game - was a positive thing for us.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Ashley Williams got the boys - together at the end of the game...

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- ..to make sure we were - ready for Russia.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13- It was an iconic moment - for the supporters...

0:13:13 > 0:13:17- ..when Chris Gunter came over to - the crowd and went, head up boys.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22- I think we did that - after every game.

0:13:22 > 0:13:23- So...

0:13:24 > 0:13:25- It's carried on.

0:13:26 > 0:13:27- It's carried on.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30- It's become Chris Gunter's - signature now.

0:13:30 > 0:13:31- Yes.

0:13:32 > 0:13:37- Yes, keep your heads up. Although, - one or two did lose their heads.

0:13:37 > 0:13:41- I went crazy, like a little boy - on Christmas morning.

0:13:42 > 0:13:46- Maltesers in the air, - drinks spilling on the floor.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47- .

0:13:50 > 0:13:50- Subtitles

0:13:50 > 0:13:52- Subtitles- - Subtitles

0:13:53 > 0:13:57- The Welsh Tour de France - continued to Toulouse.

0:13:57 > 0:14:02- La Ville Rose or the Pink City - was about to turn red...

0:14:02 > 0:14:04- ..for the game against Russia.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10- It was one of those nights - where it was a beautiful night.

0:14:10 > 0:14:14- Again, you know, - we'd taken over the stadium.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- We knew we had one more bite - at the cherry...

0:14:17 > 0:14:19- ..and we had to make - the most of that.

0:14:19 > 0:14:24- The noise levels and the - atmosphere, it was just incredible.

0:14:27 > 0:14:31- COMMENTARY:- Gareth Bale. Vokes - is waiting for the perfect ball.

0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Bale! It needed to be saved!

0:14:33 > 0:14:34- Vokes!

0:14:35 > 0:14:37- Two excellent saves.

0:14:38 > 0:14:42- A start that proves Wales - haven't come here to get a draw.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Allen. He knew there was an - opportunity and he's found Ramsey.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Ramsey. He's not offside.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Ramsey!

0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Ramsey, your time has come.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- The goal is as dazzling - as the hair!

0:15:02 > 0:15:05- There's ecstasy in Toulouse.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Gareth Bale. - He has Vokes ahead of him.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Taylor.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Taylor. A chance for a second.

0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Taylor!

0:15:16 > 0:15:18- Yes!

0:15:18 > 0:15:22- Neil Taylor has never scored - for his country.

0:15:22 > 0:15:24- He has now!

0:15:24 > 0:15:27- And what a stage to do it on. - What a stage!

0:15:28 > 0:15:32- The look on his face is priceless. - I'm not sure he realizes himself.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- He's in shock and he's running off. - He doesn't know how to celebrate.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39- A lot of people dream of scoring - goals at the Euros...

0:15:39 > 0:15:42- ..but they don't dream of scoring - ones like that...

0:15:42 > 0:15:44- ..where it rebounds off the keeper.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47- You imagine putting it - in the top corner.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49- The kids go on at me - for not scoring.

0:15:50 > 0:15:53- I try to explain I'm a defender but - they don't care at a young age.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58- They enjoyed it and my daughter got - a few brownie points at school.

0:15:59 > 0:16:04- COMMENTARY:- Bale's on the right - wing. Ramsey's found him.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07- An opportunity for Bale - to work his magic.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10- A strike at goal!

0:16:13 > 0:16:15- We just completely destroyed them.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19- We were so good. I remember looking - at the scoreboard at half-time...

0:16:19 > 0:16:21- ..and thinking it's only 2-0.

0:16:21 > 0:16:23- I thought we'd scored - three or four.

0:16:23 > 0:16:25- That's how well we played.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28- I think that was the best - performance Wales produced...

0:16:29 > 0:16:31- ..in the tournament.

0:16:34 > 0:16:35- When you're a coach...

0:16:35 > 0:16:39- ..and you're watching - the players play...

0:16:39 > 0:16:42- ..you can relax a little...

0:16:42 > 0:16:46- ..or even actually enjoy - what's going on on the field.

0:16:46 > 0:16:49- But there were periods - in that game...

0:16:49 > 0:16:52- ..where it was just - a pure pleasure to watch.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55- That one will live with us - for a long time.

0:16:55 > 0:16:58- We passed the ball around, - we enjoyed it...

0:16:59 > 0:17:01- ..and we really looked like - a good team that night.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05- COMMENTATOR:- Ramsey. Towards Vokes. - It's through to Bale.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07- This is the third!

0:17:07 > 0:17:08- This is the third!- - Yes!

0:17:08 > 0:17:12- Gareth Bale's third goal - of the tournament.

0:17:13 > 0:17:14- Wales' third goal.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17- It's getting better and better.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Dylan Ebs went crazy.

0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Maltesers in the air, drinks - being spilled on to the floor.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33- COMMENTARY:- That's the passion, - that's the disbelief...

0:17:33 > 0:17:35- ..that's the emotion.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38- The tears say it all.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42- It was just great to see...

0:17:42 > 0:17:45- ..and a great feeling that we - were so strong together.

0:17:46 > 0:17:51- COMMENTARY:- And that's it. Wales - have stepped out of their group.

0:17:52 > 0:17:53- A comfortable victory.

0:17:54 > 0:17:55- A polished performance.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58- A performance by a team...

0:17:58 > 0:18:03- ..that has played better than - any Welsh side I've ever seen.

0:18:05 > 0:18:08- And during the celebrations - came the astounding news...

0:18:08 > 0:18:12- ..that the game between England - and Slovakia finished goalless.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Wales had finished - top of the group.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18- We didn't want to come here - to make up the numbers.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- We want to put a real effort in - and to win the group...

0:18:22 > 0:18:26- ..we can't do any more and we'll - look forward to who we've got next.

0:18:28 > 0:18:34- We wanted to show that on the ball, - we're among the best in Europe.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36- That was the aim.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41- That game against Russia, - for me personally...

0:18:41 > 0:18:44- ..was one of the best - performances I've seen...

0:18:45 > 0:18:49- ..by a Welsh national team - over the decades.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53- It was just one of those nights - where it all came together...

0:18:54 > 0:18:56- ..and after that happened - and we got through...

0:18:57 > 0:18:59- ..we really weren't bothered - who came next.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01- We felt we could take on the world.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05- The players had a huge confidence - boost, and so they should have...

0:19:05 > 0:19:09- ..on the back of the performance, - it was a electric performance.

0:19:09 > 0:19:11- One of the best - I've seen from any Welsh team.

0:19:12 > 0:19:15- And the performance of one player - in particular...

0:19:15 > 0:19:17- ..caught everyone's attention.

0:19:17 > 0:19:21- Joe Ledley broke his leg just - five weeks before the first game.

0:19:21 > 0:19:24- He was now the lord of the dance.

0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Ain't nobody like Joe Ledley.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31- He just adds something different to - the dynamics of the dressing room.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35- You need somebody that's going - to make you smile and laugh...

0:19:35 > 0:19:38- ..and he did that - on more than one occasion.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43- But what about the manager's - dancing skills?

0:19:43 > 0:19:46- No, I don't kid myself. I can't - dance, to be honest with you.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50- I do like music - but I'm not much of a dancer.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Maybe after a glass of wine - if there's nobody looking...

0:19:53 > 0:19:55- ..but otherwise, I don't bother.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59- # Pa pa l'americano

0:20:03 > 0:20:07- He's one of them now. - He's a Welsh hero for his dancing.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14- After winning the group...

0:20:14 > 0:20:17- ..the big question was - who next and where next?

0:20:18 > 0:20:22- The answer was Northern Ireland. - Wales were running to Paris.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30- # Leaving the country - and leaving my country

0:20:30 > 0:20:33- # I want a chance to see the world

0:20:33 > 0:20:38- # Running down the Champs-Elysees - Looking for the Mona Lisa

0:20:39 > 0:20:43- # Running up and back down - I'm running to Paris

0:20:44 > 0:20:49- # Running away to come back - I'm running to Paris. #

0:20:58 > 0:21:01- Hello. Is there anyone home?

0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Or is the entire Welsh nation - in Paris?

0:21:08 > 0:21:11- Reaching the last 16, - that was the aim.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15- After getting there, for - the supporters certainly...

0:21:15 > 0:21:18- ..maybe not the team and the - coaching staff, I don't know...

0:21:18 > 0:21:23- ..if we could win one game, - score and go through - wow!

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- COMMENTARY:- The last words - of comfort.

0:21:26 > 0:21:30- Wales are one tight cluster, - as usual...

0:21:31 > 0:21:34- ..and they're probably - telling each other...

0:21:34 > 0:21:37- ..let's do the right things and - let's stay in the tournament.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42- We were playing against - Northern Ireland...

0:21:42 > 0:21:45- ..and we weren't just hoping - to win the game...

0:21:45 > 0:21:47- ..we were expecting to win.

0:21:50 > 0:21:55- I was hearing we were going to - beat Northern Ireland 4-0 or 5-0.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58- That it was going to be easy. - It was never going to be easy.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02- COMMENTARY:- What a shot - and what a save!

0:22:02 > 0:22:04- In towards Vokes. Ramsey!

0:22:04 > 0:22:06- Yes! He's offside.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08- He's offside. He's offside.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12- They were a hard, awkward team that - made playing football difficult...

0:22:12 > 0:22:15- ..and that's the way the game went.

0:22:15 > 0:22:17- It was an untidy goal that won it.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19- And erm...

0:22:19 > 0:22:21- ..Wales could have fallen - at that hurdle.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25- After what they had achieved, that - would have been disappointing.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31- COMMENTARY:- A chance to shoot!

0:22:33 > 0:22:36- They're well-known - for keeping teams out.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38- It wasn't going to be - an open game...

0:22:39 > 0:22:40- ..where we could play our stuff.

0:22:41 > 0:22:43- COMMENTARY: - The ball in looking for Vokes.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46- Oh no! He had a chance!

0:22:46 > 0:22:49- If we're honest that game was one - of the worst of the tournament.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Both teams cancelled each other - out, defended really well...

0:22:54 > 0:22:57- ..weren't great on the ball - and it could have gone either way.

0:22:57 > 0:23:00- COMMENTARY:- Gareth Bale.

0:23:00 > 0:23:02- The save was required.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06- Wales are pressing. An opportunity - for Ramsey. He thought...

0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Bale. Hal Robson-Kanu!

0:23:10 > 0:23:15- It's an own goal! It's an own goal - by Gareth McAuley!

0:23:15 > 0:23:18- The man who's scored - Northern Ireland's only goal.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21- He's scored twice.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23- But in the wrong net.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25- And at last, at last.

0:23:27 > 0:23:29- The last 15 minutes was torture.

0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Nerves were shattered, - bodies were in pieces...

0:23:32 > 0:23:36- ..and even the captain and the - manager had a slight falling out.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40- COMMENTARY:- He's saying he's fine. - He doesn't want to leave the field.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42- He has to obey, doesn't he?

0:23:42 > 0:23:44- "It's fine."

0:23:47 > 0:23:49- And Atkinson blows the whistle.

0:23:49 > 0:23:50- And Atkinson blows the whistle.- - Come on!

0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Wales have taken another step.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Heartbreak for the Irish.

0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Paradise in Paris.

0:24:03 > 0:24:05- It was a huge, huge relief.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09- And now, we're in the quarter - finals of a major tournament.

0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Going into the tournament itself, - nobody gave us a chance.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17- But we were there on merit. - We deserved to be there.

0:24:17 > 0:24:21- We were, erm... That was three wins - out of four in the tournament...

0:24:21 > 0:24:24- ..which was a fantastic return.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Wales wasn't the only - small country...

0:24:29 > 0:24:31- ..enjoying itself on the big stage.

0:24:31 > 0:24:36- After beating England, Iceland's - thunder clap echoed across Europe.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39- But a video of the Welsh players - celebrating...

0:24:39 > 0:24:42- ..was about to cause - a real headache.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Ashley Williams, Neil Taylor, Chris - Gunter, Jonny Williams...

0:24:48 > 0:24:51- ..came in and said, "You're - not going to sleep tonight."

0:24:52 > 0:24:55- I wasn't going to lose sleep - because England were out.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58- What worried me was that the - hundreds of media personnel...

0:24:58 > 0:25:02- ..that were following England - would start following us...

0:25:02 > 0:25:04- ..and we'd need more room - in the media centre.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08- They said, "We've filmed this", and - Ashley said it's out on Twitter.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13- And I thought, good heavens we're - going to get some stick for this.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15- You could see he was just sweating.

0:25:15 > 0:25:20- As soon as the video came out - his life collapsed, I think.

0:25:20 > 0:25:23- That video had the potential - to cause problems...

0:25:23 > 0:25:25- ..and make the headlines.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27- But the players were ready.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Of course, the question was asked - and we gave an answer.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Then shortly after Chris Gunter - mentioned his brother...

0:25:35 > 0:25:38- ..and the fact that his parents - now had to choose...

0:25:38 > 0:25:41- ..between his wedding and - watching Wales in the Euros.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44- It's not as bad as Gunts - but I had Beyonce tickets.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50- So everyone was laughing and - everyone forgot about Iceland...

0:25:50 > 0:25:53- ..so something which could - have been negative...

0:25:53 > 0:25:55- ..became very positive.

0:25:55 > 0:25:59- COMMENTARY: - R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-Robson-Kanu!

0:26:01 > 0:26:02- Hal on fire!

0:26:03 > 0:26:07- BOTH: Hal, Robson. Hal Robson-Kanu!

0:26:07 > 0:26:08- .

0:26:13 > 0:26:13- Subtitles

0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Subtitles- - Subtitles

0:26:15 > 0:26:18- Wales just getting to Euro 2016 - was enough for some.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21- But what about scoring a goal? - Winning a game?

0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Winning the group?

0:26:23 > 0:26:28- How about reaching the last eight - and inspiring a new generation?

0:26:30 > 0:26:34- 58 years have passed.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37- But we still go on about 1958.

0:26:37 > 0:26:40- When Wales went to the World Cup - for the first time.

0:26:40 > 0:26:44- Going to the last eight before - Brazil and Pele broke our hearts.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46- A child's memory.

0:26:46 > 0:26:50- All credit to gallant Wales for - holding Brazil to a single point.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52- Wales are out of the World Cup...

0:26:53 > 0:26:55- ..but they can go home - with their heads held high.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Of course we have to remember.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02- But the years of pain means we've - elevated the feats of Wales '58...

0:27:02 > 0:27:06- ..into supernatural legends.

0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Turning good men into gods.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13- And the black and white pictures - became part of our mythology.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15- The pictures have changed.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17- The colours have changed.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21- One magical summer - has changed the country.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Bala was turned to Bale - and Gwaelod-y-Gareth.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Treg-Aaron Ramsey. - Wayne-fawr Hennessey.

0:27:29 > 0:27:31- Taylors-town, Ben-maenmawr.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35- Just completely heroic - by Ben Davies.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38- And Mountain Ash-ley Williams.

0:27:40 > 0:27:45- And there's a new generation - of wild fans...

0:27:45 > 0:27:48- ..who don't remember 2008 - let alone '58.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52- But they'll remember 2016.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55- Forever.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58- The memory of a child.

0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Come on, then, boios.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08- We didn't fear anybody.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12- We respect Belgium, great team, - great individual players.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15- But I felt, as a team, - we were better.

0:28:16 > 0:28:20- If we could just get it together - on the night.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25- Come on, boys, create history.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29- Lukaku. There's tempo - in his attack.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33- Look at the space. - Hennessey with a great save.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36- Cleared off the line by Taylor. - Hazard!

0:28:37 > 0:28:40- We knew from the qualifying - campaign we were their bogey team.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42- They don't like playing us.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45- They don't play to their best - ability when they play us.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48- Gareth Bale is still going.

0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Funnily enough, everyone - was of the same opinion.

0:28:54 > 0:28:56- We can't concede a goal first.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Then we had this exocet of a goal.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02- COMMENTARY:- Wales have formed - a defence line.

0:29:02 > 0:29:05- The ball to Nainggolan, - he looks, he shoots!

0:29:05 > 0:29:08- A remarkable goal.

0:29:08 > 0:29:11- A completely remarkable goal.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15- So fitting on such a big stage.

0:29:16 > 0:29:20- When Nainggolan scored that goal - I thought, "Oh, no".

0:29:20 > 0:29:22- Here we go.

0:29:22 > 0:29:26- This could get messy, - but fair play to the boys.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31- If you watch us - after we went 1-0 down...

0:29:31 > 0:29:35- ..that's probably some of the best - football we've played.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38- Given the level of players - we were playing against.

0:29:38 > 0:29:42- When someone needs a leader - in the team...

0:29:42 > 0:29:46- ..to stand up, - then the captain does that.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50- COMMENTARY:- Yes!

0:29:50 > 0:29:52- Williams!

0:29:52 > 0:29:56- The pass to Williams - has brought Wales level...

0:29:57 > 0:30:02- ..with his first goal - for his country in six years.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05- Ash was in shock, I think, - that he'd scored.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10- When you look at his statistics...

0:30:10 > 0:30:13- ..of his runs in the game...

0:30:13 > 0:30:16- ..that was the quickest run he made - in the whole game.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21- I remember the equalizer goal - by Ashley Williams.

0:30:21 > 0:30:26- As they took the corner I said, - "We never score from corners".

0:30:26 > 0:30:29- I don't think we ever have.

0:30:29 > 0:30:33- And then we did, and this man - two rows in front...

0:30:33 > 0:30:36- ..turned around and said, - "I heard what you said.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38- "You said we never score."

0:30:40 > 0:30:42- COMMENTARY:- Indescribable joy.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48- A chance for Wales to visit - Belgium's half of the field.

0:30:48 > 0:30:50- Bale in deep. Ramsey with the run.

0:30:51 > 0:30:54- The pass to him.

0:30:54 > 0:30:57- A good first touch. - Hal Robson-Kanu.

0:30:58 > 0:30:59- Will he finish...?!

0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Hal Robson-Kanu has scored again - for Wales!

0:31:04 > 0:31:09- That's the crowning of one of the - best moves of the championship.

0:31:09 > 0:31:14- That feeling I will never forget - for the rest of my life.

0:31:14 > 0:31:18- When you receive the ball in the - box you want to make space.

0:31:18 > 0:31:22- I felt everyone was shifting - their weight in one direction...

0:31:22 > 0:31:25- ..and it was an opportunity for me - to turn...

0:31:25 > 0:31:27- ..and you have to find the corner.

0:31:28 > 0:31:29- A brilliant goal.

0:31:29 > 0:31:34- I'm not sure if he'll ever score - a better goal in his entire life.

0:31:38 > 0:31:42- The finish and the piece of skill - where he does the Cruyff...

0:31:42 > 0:31:45- ..that was almost in slow motion.

0:31:45 > 0:31:49- It was the look on his face - when he done it, the big smile.

0:31:49 > 0:31:52- I remember looking to see - all our fans in the corner...

0:31:52 > 0:31:56- ..and there was a massive rush - to the front. They'd lost it.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58- The Welsh fans were going crazy.

0:31:59 > 0:32:03- People will look back on the - competition and at that goal...

0:32:23 > 0:32:24- For me, there was only one team.

0:32:24 > 0:32:29- The momentum suddenly swung - from Belgium to us.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32- After we went 2-1 up, - you then thought...

0:32:32 > 0:32:35- .."OK, what's going to happen now?"

0:32:37 > 0:32:40- COMMENTARY:- Vokes calls for it. - It's aimed at... Vokes!

0:32:40 > 0:32:42- And there it is!

0:32:45 > 0:32:48- Sam Vokes, the substitute, - with the perfect header.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55- The cross, the run, the header.

0:32:55 > 0:32:56- The goal.

0:32:58 > 0:33:00- When that one hit - the back of the net...

0:33:00 > 0:33:04- ..I think we all thought, - semi-final here we come.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07- Wales are on the way.

0:33:13 > 0:33:15- COMMENTARY: - Wales are going through...

0:33:30 > 0:33:33- Everyone else in the semi-final - now knew...

0:33:33 > 0:33:37- ..Wales are going to be - hard to beat.

0:33:37 > 0:33:42- They have sent shockwaves - throughout Europe.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46- Seeing the sea of red jumping - up and down...

0:33:46 > 0:33:51- ..and not believing what had - happened with Robson-Kanu's goal.

0:33:51 > 0:33:55- And then we had Vokes' goal - nobody could believe it.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58- Are we really 3-1 up - in the quarter finals?

0:33:58 > 0:34:02- I don't think anybody could have - written the script for that.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31- ..when they came off the pitch.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34- They couldn't believe - what they'd done.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37- The best moment for me in that game - was the final whistle.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41- You looked around - and you saw men...

0:34:42 > 0:34:45- ..tough men, like lads, - just crying.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47- Elgan was one of them.

0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Everyone had tears in their eyes.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52- It was just, wow.

0:34:52 > 0:34:55- Christopher Coleman, can - you put that into words?

0:34:55 > 0:34:56- No.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04- We have accomplished - something fantastic...

0:35:04 > 0:35:06- ..beyond our expectations.

0:35:06 > 0:35:10- It was a second of musing, - you know, when you go, "Wow".

0:35:10 > 0:35:12- I don't think I've...

0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Russia was a fantastic performance.

0:35:15 > 0:35:18- But when it came to the occasion, - the Euro 2016 quarter finals...

0:35:19 > 0:35:21- ..almost an away game to Belgium - and winning 3-1.

0:35:23 > 0:35:24- Amazing.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30- You have to give special mention - to the Welsh fans.

0:35:30 > 0:35:34- They were acknowledged by Fifa, the - world governing body for their...

0:35:34 > 0:35:38- ..impeccable behaviour and - how well they supported the nation.

0:36:04 > 0:36:09- They're supporting us with such - passion, you daren't let them down.

0:36:09 > 0:36:13- You daren't even contemplate about - having an off day - you can't.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16- We didn't, I'm pleased to say.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22- By now, it was Wales' heartbeat - that echoed across the continent.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25- New unofficial anthems - were heard...

0:37:21 > 0:37:23- Still to come:

0:37:23 > 0:37:26- When the final whistle went, - it was awful.

0:37:26 > 0:37:30- I had to go into the dressing room - and have five minutes to myself.

0:37:30 > 0:37:32- I can't tell you how gutted I felt.

0:37:33 > 0:37:34- .

0:37:38 > 0:37:38- Subtitles

0:37:38 > 0:37:40- Subtitles- - Subtitles

0:37:40 > 0:37:43- The Euro 2016 semi-final - was played in Lyon.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Heaven's above, - what have we achieved here?

0:37:53 > 0:37:55- What can we achieve?

0:37:56 > 0:37:58- I told myself at the time, - "We're going to win this".

0:37:59 > 0:38:01- I felt so emotional about it.

0:38:01 > 0:38:05- Reaching the semi-finals - of the European Championship.

0:38:06 > 0:38:08- I was more confident...

0:38:08 > 0:38:11- ..despite having a good record - playing Belgium...

0:38:12 > 0:38:14- ..I was more confident - of beating Portugal.

0:38:15 > 0:38:17- Portugal weren't playing well.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20- They'd gone to extra time twice - prior to our game.

0:38:20 > 0:38:25- They'd finished third in their - group, hadn't scored many goals.

0:38:25 > 0:38:27- They'd snuck through a lot...

0:38:27 > 0:38:31- ..of their games without - people saying they'd played well.

0:38:33 > 0:38:37- Before we even realized it, - we were 90 minutes from the final.

0:38:38 > 0:38:42- The killer question, who's the - better footballer? You or him?

0:38:44 > 0:38:50- In Lyon and on every street, - the same cry was heard.

0:38:50 > 0:38:52- We've passed - the "good luck" stage.

0:38:53 > 0:38:55- You are playing - for even more glory...

0:38:55 > 0:38:58- ..and a place in the - history books.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02- The only thing I can ask is, - once again, dear Wales?

0:39:03 > 0:39:05- You've been doing amazing so far...

0:39:05 > 0:39:08- ..showing great passion - and fighting spirit.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10- Go Wales!

0:39:12 > 0:39:14- Memories are made - from evenings like this.

0:39:15 > 0:39:18- Evenings like this promote - the name of a country...

0:39:18 > 0:39:21- ..and gives its citizens a boost.

0:39:21 > 0:39:24- And the country was watching - and praying.

0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Unfortunately, two of the important - players were watching too.

0:39:28 > 0:39:32- Aaron Ramsey and Ben Davies - were suspended.

0:39:32 > 0:39:33- COMMENTARY:- Bale!

0:39:34 > 0:39:36- A clever kick that caught them out.

0:39:37 > 0:39:39- He's beat the defenders.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46- The ball to King.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49- People thought - we'd beat them easily...

0:39:49 > 0:39:51- ..but it doesn't work like that.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54- We were facing a quality team...

0:39:54 > 0:39:58- ..a stubborn team once again, - but they had their stars.

0:39:58 > 0:40:01- They had the biggest star - in football.

0:40:01 > 0:40:06- Unfortunately, it was that man who - made the difference on the night.

0:40:06 > 0:40:10- The dream of playing another game - didn't continue.

0:40:11 > 0:40:15- A short corner and then... Ronaldo!

0:40:16 > 0:40:19- His star is the first to shine.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25- Couldn't believe how high - he'd got to head that ball.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29- James Chester's marking him and - he's only around his waist high.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32- That's how high he's jumped.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36- That was a good ball in for Nani.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38- Cedric comes for it.

0:40:39 > 0:40:41- Ronaldo!

0:40:41 > 0:40:43- That bended into the net.

0:40:44 > 0:40:46- Nani has scored.

0:40:46 > 0:40:49- Two former Manchester United - players...

0:40:50 > 0:40:52- ..have broken Welsh hearts.

0:40:52 > 0:40:54- Pepe's celebrating.

0:40:54 > 0:40:59- He feels he's going to be playing - in the final.

0:40:59 > 0:41:03- Conceding the second goal - so close to the first...

0:41:04 > 0:41:07- ..we had Snowdon - to climb after that.

0:41:09 > 0:41:15- You then had the feeling that the - dream was coming to an end.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19- There's a chance here.

0:41:19 > 0:41:20- You know what...?

0:41:20 > 0:41:23- You know what...?- - Maybe he should have done better.

0:41:23 > 0:41:27- Bale with a chance. - Straight at the keeper.

0:41:30 > 0:41:32- Bale on his left foot again.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37- It's the end of the journey - for Wales.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42- The disappointment is palpable.

0:41:42 > 0:41:46- A smile for one man - and a frown for another.

0:41:49 > 0:41:54- The feeling when the final - whistle went, it was awful.

0:41:55 > 0:41:58- We'd just lost a semi-final - and I needed to go...

0:41:58 > 0:42:01- ..into the dressing room - and have five minutes by myself.

0:42:01 > 0:42:04- I can't tell you how gutted I felt.

0:42:05 > 0:42:09- But you've always got that - little nagging doubt, "If only".

0:42:11 > 0:42:13- Congratulations to Portugal.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15- But congratulations to Wales.

0:42:16 > 0:42:18- Thanks for the journey.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20- Thanks for the experiences.

0:42:20 > 0:42:22- Thanks for the thrill.

0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Thanks for making us proud - and for restoring faith.

0:42:27 > 0:42:30- I am quite an emotional person.

0:42:30 > 0:42:34- I only have to watch something - that's quite sad on television...

0:42:34 > 0:42:36- ..and my eyes fill up.

0:42:36 > 0:42:38- But I wasn't at that time.

0:42:39 > 0:42:41- I was just so proud - of what they'd achieved.

0:42:42 > 0:42:45- I was angry more than anything - for half an hour after the game.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49- Then things started to settle - and you realized what we'd done.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54- And you watched the players over - by where the supporters were...

0:42:54 > 0:42:58- ..and you realized how much it - meant to football in Wales...

0:42:58 > 0:42:59- ..and across the world.

0:43:02 > 0:43:06- Huge disappointment - in the changing room.

0:43:06 > 0:43:10- There's no hiding that because - we wanted to go all the way.

0:43:11 > 0:43:15- The way we performed, - we played and we felt...

0:43:15 > 0:43:20- ..we were convinced we could beat - any team in the competition.

0:43:23 > 0:43:26- If only we could bottle...

0:43:27 > 0:43:31- ..those emotions that were felt - for our country...

0:43:31 > 0:43:36- ..at that time, it would do - so much for our country.

0:43:36 > 0:43:39- Being Welsh meant so much...

0:43:40 > 0:43:43- ..and made people swell with pride.

0:43:43 > 0:43:46- But I had to come home - to realize that.

0:43:50 > 0:43:54- The best Welshman is a Welshman - away from home, as the saying goes.

0:43:54 > 0:43:59- But the welcome they received - shattered that myth forever.

0:44:01 > 0:44:06- There were hundreds at the airport, - hundreds lined the streets.

0:44:06 > 0:44:09- When we got to Cardiff Castle - we could all hear the noise.

0:44:09 > 0:44:13- We went up to have a look - and then to see it all.

0:44:13 > 0:44:17- It hit us at that moment. - What have we...?

0:44:17 > 0:44:19- That hit us.

0:44:19 > 0:44:22- It was a very special day - for everybody.

0:44:22 > 0:44:24- Seeing people...

0:44:24 > 0:44:29- ..who'd thought they'd - maybe never see the day...

0:44:29 > 0:44:33- ..and seeing people - on the street in tears...

0:44:33 > 0:44:36- ..who couldn't believe - what had happened.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39- It meant everything to us.

0:44:40 > 0:44:44- In years to come, on the experience - of being in France...

0:44:44 > 0:44:48- ..I might be able to appreciate - what happened to Wales.

0:44:48 > 0:44:51- It's hard to put it into words, - really.

0:44:52 > 0:44:54- It's been a whirlwind really.

0:44:54 > 0:44:58- Something we're immensely proud of, - we've enjoyed every minute of it.

0:44:58 > 0:45:01- It's probably the best summer - of all of our lives.

0:45:02 > 0:45:06- An amazing experience - that the team had done so well...

0:45:07 > 0:45:08- ..had been so good.

0:45:09 > 0:45:12- To be honest, I think - we could have won the final.

0:45:14 > 0:45:16- There we go, maybe that's a dream.

0:45:16 > 0:45:19- Perhaps that will carry on - to Russia.

0:45:20 > 0:45:22- I do love my country.

0:45:22 > 0:45:26- A lot of Welsh people - love their country.

0:45:26 > 0:45:30- But that's the proudest - I've ever felt of being Welsh...

0:45:31 > 0:45:33- ..and I've played for Wales...

0:45:34 > 0:45:38- I think, from the support - we had out in France...

0:45:38 > 0:45:40- ..and also watching the videos...

0:45:41 > 0:45:43- ..and seeing what was - happening at home...

0:45:43 > 0:45:49- ..I could tell we'd had an - impact on the whole country.

0:45:56 > 0:45:59- There were 26 days since the - first whistle in Bordeaux...

0:45:59 > 0:46:02- ..and the final whistle in Lyon.

0:46:02 > 0:46:05- It feels like a lifetime, - it feels like a second.

0:46:05 > 0:46:08- An instant - that changed the country.

0:46:08 > 0:46:11- For the Wales football team, - one word -

0:46:11 > 0:46:13- Thanks.
