Wales at the 1958 World Cup and the glory and pain of the 1970s

In the first episode of our series celebrating Wales, the podcast team discuss the huge success and what-if moments of the 1958 World Cup, where Wales were only denied by the teenage genius of Pelé. The lean years that followed were the precursor to a strong generation in the 1970s, which emerged to reach the Euro 76 quarter-finals, an achievement largely overshadowed by the pain of the Joe Jordan handball in the 1978 World Cup qualifiers. We discuss all the joys, the heartache and the exceedingly cool kits.
