  • Description

‘When Chris, the players, and our amazing fans were celebrating in Bosnia, I just know that Gary was there, chuffed to see the country he loved finally achieve its dream, and knowing that he'd played his part. It's a great story and Bryn is the right man to tell it.’ 
Roger Speed, from the Foreword

‘This diary tells the greatest story the nation's enjoyed since our one and only previous involvement in a summer tournament way back in 1958. A story told by someone who once travelled away to follow Wales as a supporter and now travels with the side as a reporter. I hope there are more glorious chapters for him to reflect in future, starting with France next summer! 
Chris Coleman, from the Preface
