Episode 3

Why were Wales playing a key home football match at Anfield in Liverpool? Why did history seem to repeat itself in notorious games against Scotland in two different decades? How could a team that featured the likes of Ian Rush, Dean Saunders, Mark Hughes and Ryan Giggs not reach the finals of any major international tournaments? Elis James looks at the highs and lows of the late seventies to the early nineties, and at some iconic matches where Wales beat the likes of Spain, Germany and Brazil, but seemed to fall at the final hurdle in key qualification campaigns time after time.
