Elis James' final stage of his journey through Welsh football history looks at how a period of turbulence transformed into one of international triumph. Since the early nineties a long line of managers, with mixed results, has guided the Welsh international football team. From the controversies of the Bobby Gould era to the unrealised ambitions under Mark Hughes; the investment in youth initiated by John Toshack and the dramatic turnaround achieved by Gary Speed that was cut short by his tragic death. The path to a golden age of Welsh football hasn't been straightforward. Now with the success of the 2016 European Championships still alive in supporter's minds, and the landmark of back-to-back qualifications under a youthful team's belts, a more recent period of turbulence hasn't managed to dampen expectations.
