In the final stage of his journey through Welsh football history, Elis James 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, have guided the Welsh international football team. From the controversies of the Bobby Gould era and the unrealised ambitions under Mark Hughes to 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.
