Episode 1

Elis James takes us on a fan's-eye journey through the highs and lows of Welsh footballing history in the company of some of the game's best-known players, managers and supporters.

Stand-up comedian, presenter and lifelong football fan Elis James takes us on a lively journey through the highs and lows of Welsh footballing history. He's joined by well-known players, managers and supporters, and along the way looks at the highs and lows of the story of Welsh football.

We look back to the very beginnings of the game where football got off to a quicker start than rugby in Wales, but somehow got trumped to the role of national sport. We chart the rise of the first sporting megastar from north east Wales and a later boom and bust in the towns and valleys of the south that culminated in a cup win that was celebrated in all parts of the country. It's a rollercoaster ride that was the foundation of the current success we're currently enjoying today.
