Welcome to the final Sport Wales of 2015 and what a show we have | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
fo' you, here s what's coming up. It s the end of the road for Garry | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
And we celebrate yet another great year of Welsh Sport. | :00:31. | :00:50. | |
A massive honour to represent the country. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
And so, it's the end of the road for Garry Monk at Swansea City. | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
Sacked on Wednesday, this is how the story unfolded... | :00:57. | :01:09. | |
studio, at the minute lots of callers | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
the way the club has acted. The show is normally on-air on Saturday. A | :01:15. | :01:30. | |
special show this evening to get the Swansea fans reacting. This should | :01:31. | :01:41. | |
be interesting. We will get a few callers from West and some will be | :01:42. | :01:54. | |
pleased, some will be disappointed. Come on then, let's go. Ready to | :01:55. | :02:04. | |
rumble. I did Wales today I will call Rob in ten minutes. Do you want | :02:05. | :02:17. | |
to drink? Yes, no sugar please. A special call Rob for you to have | :02:18. | :02:24. | |
your say on Garry Monk. 22 months at the helm. What do you want to say? | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
It is an outrageous decision, to be honest. The | :02:32. | :03:12. | |
What a terrible way to treat a good man. Our Swansea getting relegated? | :03:13. | :03:22. | |
Unless we get the right person in... I am saying 20,000 people have been | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
under the misconception that we are too good to go down. I have said to | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
people we are not too good to go down. We need to get someone who can | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
hold the reins back in sale is out of the tough seas. What about Mr | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
Meuse. Or Brendan back. David Moyes, you failed at Manchester United. | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
Furthermore miserably at Sociedad. He dead ten years good work at | :03:57. | :04:08. | |
Everton. Setting his own agenda. Eddie is in Swansea. What a sad | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
indictment of football at the moment. To treat a man like that. Is | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
it right Garry Monk has gone, have they panicked because of the money | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
on offer as Jamaat Paul, right decision? I think it is the right | :04:25. | :04:32. | |
decision. Performances have not been good. I said all season, to even | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
match last season s achievements match last season's achievements | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
would have been incredible that the expectation of a lot of the fans was | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
we finished eighth, we can do better than that. An anonymous text and | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
Claire on Twitter said what about Leighton James? Fancy being the next | :04:55. | :05:02. | |
manager? What have I done to deserve that? We have to go now. Coming up | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
next on BBC Radio Wales, in the garden. What a lovely introduction. | :05:10. | :05:18. | |
Thank you. The end of a crazy day, Garry Monk has gone, who next? | :05:19. | :05:33. | |
He has shown last year that he has lots of attributes that will help in | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
its career at the future. It is a setback for him but sometimes you | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
need setbacks to shape you as a manager. Garry will recover. He's a | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
good manager, he has proved that after his last season at Swansea. A | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
bad run of five or six games just shows you are under pressure in the | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
league. It is a great shame for the relationship Garry has had between | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
Swansea City, the owners and the club but what they have achieved | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
together... As a manager you hope people are more patient but it is | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
the ultimate ringing in the ears of 120 million. The clubs have the | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
power, it is their decision, what can I say more than I feel sorry | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
about it. Garry Monk, what it achieved last season will be in | :06:33. | :06:43. | |
history for a long time. I'm sure he will get a real refresh period and | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
will come back. I cannot speak about if, first I | :06:47. | :07:05. | |
have to speak with Ryan Giggs himself. If its true committee is | :07:06. | :07:17. | |
coming to me. I never read papers and I think it is the truth. | :07:18. | :07:30. | |
England had more patients about managers, | :07:31. | :07:42. | |
I think for every team, my general thinking, those teams will play | :07:43. | :07:53. | |
better with the same manager, try to change because you're not happy for | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
one moment of the season, I don't think that is the... | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
And you can keep up to date with all the very latest | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Tomorrow, all eyes will be on Paris as Wales | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
find out who they'll face at Euro 2016 next summer. | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
So what's the dre'm draw for Chris Coleman s men? | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
Who better to ask than the man who got them there? | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
Ian Hunt went to Madrid to meet the megastar that is?Gareth Bale. | :08:26. | :08:47. | |
What a year it has been for you, how do you reflect on it, your best ever | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
year? I am not sure if it is the best ever but a lot has been | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
achieved. With Wales we set out to qualify, no other team in Welsh | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
history has done it before, yeah, an amazing experience to go to the | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
qualifying campaign and to qualify and make history for Wales is a | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
dream true. I am sure in your mind lots of memories from the campaign, | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
what stands out for you, what was the goal? I don't know if it was a | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
specific goal, Belgium was a big turning point which put as clear and | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
gave us confidence and momentum in the rest of the games. That goal was | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
the one I would look back on and say was the most important. When we | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
qualified, the relief literally every feeling came out and it was an | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
amazing experience to share with the team. And you went back to Cardiff | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
to watch the friendly, what did you make of it? Strange to be watching? | :09:58. | :10:05. | |
Very strange. It was frustrating not on the pitch. Injury made that | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
decision for me. If I'm not playing, I want to meet with the team and be | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
there as much as I can and it was a good game to watch. We were unlucky | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
but good preparation for the year race. The one criticism people have | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
is the team becomes too reliant on you, did the Netherlands game | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
address that criticism because you had others popping up? Definitely, | :10:33. | :10:41. | |
there was lots of positives to take and me and were missing and it gave | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
the youngsters opportunity to show what they can do. We played pretty | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
well as a team. We were unlucky not to get a draw oral win but we scored | :10:53. | :11:02. | |
two against them and there. Whoever scores the goals, we don't mind as | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
mind as long as we get results. The Euro 2016 draw is around the corner, | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
I'm sure you'll be taking a close interest. Will it be the moment when | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
it's all sinks in and you realise? It is a shock but we know we are | :11:18. | :11:26. | |
ready for it and as the tournament gets closer, the draw gets made and | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
the friendlies before the tournament and it will get exciting. What are | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
you hoping for because Wales are in the bottom part, will you come up | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
against some of the big ones? Yeah, that is what we want though. We want | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
to play on a bigger stage and test ourselves against the best and we | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
will have to do that in the tournament and I'm sure any other | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
country will not be looking forward to playing us because we are strong | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
with a great team spirit and character and we play good football. | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
Do you have a dream scenario and group? People say it could be | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
England. England would be nice, I suppose, a local rivalry, one that | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
has been there for centuries but whoever we play we will go out to | :12:14. | :12:20. | |
win and get the points to qualify. Confident Wales would beat England? | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
Of course! In terms of the Euro is, how can Wales do next summer in | :12:27. | :12:31. | |
France, how far can they go? I honestly believe if we have let | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
along the way and we play football, we have a great chance. Of winning. | :12:37. | :12:43. | |
Of winning? Of course. We are not making up the numbers. We are doing | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
a serious job to win the tournament. If you don't go to win, there was no | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
point to just be a second fiddle team. We want to do the best we can. | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
That would be something, not to qualify and then win! That is the | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
aim. You have to dream big. That is the plan. You have to beat a lot of | :13:03. | :13:09. | |
top sides. It has been done before, Greece, Denmark. Yeah, we know it is | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
an incredible task but no reason why can't be done. Wales would need you | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
and Aaron to be there right through to achieve that. Yeah, we're not a | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
massive nation, we have a good squad but we need all our players to be | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
fit and you need a bit of luck along the way and hopefully you can get | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
that. Do you miss home? To enjoy life in Spain. Of course, home is | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
home. You can never change that. I love going back and playing for | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
Wales and will never get the chance to go home I do. How you are | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
perceived in Madrid, in Wales who are idealised. You are the face on | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
every teenager s wall. I'm filling my dream for Wales stop | :14:05. | :14:26. | |
stay tuned as Gareth Bell gets us into the Christmas spirit. Favourite | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
chewing? I love my Christmas songs at the moment. Of course, every | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
Christmas. As soon as the Christmas songs are on! Earlier in the | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
week,... Earlier in the week, | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
the Wales Sports Awards took place in Cardiff, with the coveted BBC | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
Cymru Wales Sports Personality We sent a very dapper | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
Christian Malcolm to mingle I'm here at the Wales sports awards | :14:47. | :15:03. | |
to celebrate what a fantastic year it has been in Welsh sport. I'm | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
going to see who I can catch up with. Here, I am here with one of | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
the main contenders here, Alan Shore, however you. I'm good, mate. | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
All fun and games, these nights are great because it's just great to see | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
all these amazing athletes celebrating Welsh sport. Is there | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
anyone in particular you feel deserve the award tonight? Allott, | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
because he honestly had setbacks and then been amazing, like ridiculously | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
amazing, even so. And then obviously Gareth Bell, because our year has | :15:39. | :15:45. | |
been ridiculous. Who is tipped to win? It's got to be Dan Biggar | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
playing week in and out. He seems to be working, he might add some more | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
to it, we never know. When we are off camera, I'm going to get the | :15:59. | :16:06. | |
real answer from you! The winner of the team of the year is the Wales | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
senior men's football team. What an achievement for the Welsh team to | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
make it to the year is like that. It's fantastic, I know it was just | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
the one game in a ten gallon campaign, and the manager, what a | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
job he has done. I think, in the Euros, in the summer in France, I | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
think we can make a serious impact. You are covered this year's unsung | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
hero for Wales, congratulations! Congratulation, the BBC like unsung | :16:37. | :16:43. | |
hero! Was it a shock? Was it a shock, indeed it was! I think you | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
are a hero, helping people like me getting involved in sports. Thank | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
you and well done. Congratulations, how do you feel? Really pleasing, | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
you know. There are so many people my age that are up for this award, | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
it feels really good to receive it. Hannah, congratulations! Thank you! | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
How does it feel? It's amazing, looking back at everyone else who | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
has won this award, there are so many big names will stop its | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
amazing. The winner of coach of the year is Chris Coleman. It's not just | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
his award, it's his backroom staff, because I think he would admit he | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
couldn't do it on his own. The recipient of the BBC Wales lifetime | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
achievement award goes to say Gareth Edwards. Long overdue. I didn't have | :17:40. | :17:48. | |
an inkling. What a lovely moment for me to cherish, it is a bit early for | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
me to really appreciate the whole occasion. In third place, Lee Selby. | :17:55. | :18:03. | |
Third place, the night. Happy, disappointed? Being a prize fight it | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
it is always a long wait for these things. It was never going to be | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
first place, because I'm surrounded by good talent but I'm happy stop | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
second place, Geraint Thomas. Thank you for all your voter in means a | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
lot. 2015 was a great year for me and hopefully I will continue to | :18:26. | :18:32. | |
improve. And now BBC's sports personality of the year 2015 is Dan | :18:33. | :18:40. | |
Biggar. Dan, sports personality of the year 2015, congratulations. It's | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
unreal, all the names getting rattled off, I was never thinking I | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
was anywhere near they shout, I couldn't be the hands down | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
favourite, but I'm really proud to pick this up, it's a massive honour | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
to represent the country, and receive something like this. I've | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
got to ask you this question, I know you get asked all the time? The big | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
arena, the shuffle of the shoulders. Talk to me, you are in the moment | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
stop I was just in the zone, it's hard to sort of realise what you're | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
doing stop you don't even worry about anything else, I find gets me | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
a little bit more relaxed and comfortable, it worked for the | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
England game, and I can relax a bit with it now. Wow, what a fantastic | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
event, what a great evening. Welsh sport has been thriving this year, | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
and for Dan Biggar at the top, he was the man. He might be doing the | :19:35. | :19:42. | |
old... Big arena! See you guys again. | :19:43. | :19:43. | |
So many highs in what s been yet another fantastic year, | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
of the telly and relive all of the most magical | :19:47. | :19:53. | |
and memorable moments from Welsh sport in 2015. | :19:54. | :20:00. | |
So, who were the heroes of Welsh sport in 2015? Gareth Bales strikes | :20:01. | :20:10. | |
again! Who shone the brightest, who hit the hardest, who went the | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
distance? How good was Dan Biggar? Come on! Who did you celebrate? Who | :20:19. | :20:26. | |
made you dance? Who made you sing? Waltzing Matilda! Who made you mad. | :20:27. | :20:36. | |
He was rude! And why was this guy so happy? Find out on Friday December | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
the 18th, on BBC Wales. was watching Wakes | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
qualify for Euro 2016. Their first major tournament | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
in almost 60 years. one of Wales most esteemed | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
journalists has been delving In 1958 the Wales football team did | :20:48. | :21:10. | |
something they had never achieved before or since. They qualify for | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
the finals of the World Cup. The return match for Cardiff would mean | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
for British teams in the final. The team when 1958 were a good team. | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
People will say today that Wales are a one-man show, Gareth bail. People | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
were saying that about 58. It was John Charles then. He was idolised | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
as one of the great players of Europe, not least for his | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
sportsmanship, a man who was never booked. Comparisons will be endless | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
between Charles and bail, who is the greater player? I have no doubt that | :21:45. | :21:49. | |
Charles was the greatest footballer that this country has ever produced, | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
that is not to say that Gareth Bales won't be as great. Sweden, in 1958, | :21:56. | :22:05. | |
a draw against Mexico won all stop hungry was one all. Sweden, the | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
hosts, one nil nil. We had two play-off against Hungary to reach | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
the last stages, the mighty John Charles was given a rear severe | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
hacking by the Hungarians. They had a 17-year-old kid that nobody had | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
really heard of playing for Brazil, Palais. It was the first gold at the | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
Palais scored. One nil was enough to do for Wales, but the story was has | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
John Charles not been fit, had he not been put out of the game by the | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
Hungarians then who knows, Wales might have even gone on to the | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
semifinals. I think maybe the worst players are complaining. There can | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
be no doubt as to the enormity of what Wales have already achieved in | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
qualifying for the finals of the European Championship. Of the | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
world's most popular sport. It is time for everybody to get together, | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
there is one opportunity for the whole of Wales to go on a European | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
stage, and show, not just that they can play football, but that Wales is | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
a pretty good place. Earlier on, we saw the more | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
serious side to him, but what about the lighter | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
side of Gareth Bale? What makes him tick | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
away from football? We put Mr Bale under the spotlight | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
to find out one or two things I was always good at athletics, so | :23:27. | :23:54. | |
when I have had this question before I might say maybe athletics, | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
sprinting, long-distance or something, that sort of event. My | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
sporting hero would probably be Ryan Giggs. When I grew up, he was a left | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
footed Welsh player, a similar style to me, and I always watched him | :24:10. | :24:12. | |
growing up, I love the way he played. Wherever there's a golf | :24:13. | :24:23. | |
course! What do you play off the? Six, at the moment. Favourite | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
food... Probably chocolate, or pizza. My friends and family. I love | :24:27. | :24:40. | |
my Christmas songs at the moment. Do you? Of course, every Christmas. As | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
soon as they come on. What sort of songs, wham, Slade? Everything, the | :24:49. | :24:59. | |
Christmas album. Worse team-mate, I'm not too sure. I'd probably have | :25:00. | :25:12. | |
the say David Beckham. The Masters. Masters golf? Yeah. To always keep | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
working hard to melt no matter where you are in your sport, just to keep | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
working hard, and that will give you a great platform to get you where | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
