So 1958 must have been before your time too then ?


Yeah it's really my fault 76 don't get remembered :roll:


You are only 3 years younger than me yet I know about it and I was born in 78


Good for you :thumbup:


So not knowing about it doesn't wash with me. Call yourself a Wales fan[/quot

I bet the majority of wales fans born after the 70's at the game tommorow won't know about 76 euro's. But their at the game so their Wales fans, probably more then you Adam.

Well I would go as far to say that anyone who doesn't know about euro 76 aren't real Wales fans

The atmosphere got pretty ugly at times I thought the Yugoslavian players were in danger at one point.

The ref was certainly in danger had anyone managed to get to him. It got very ugly at times and could have been a major factor in us not qualifying for the next world cup being banned from playing within a 100 mile radius of Cardiff.

The format then was totally different to what it is now so it's understandable that some people don't know about it as it is rarely mentioned and probably a game that the Welsh FA would rather forget.

I've read about it.

I don't think people have forgotten.

But given the circumstances at that tournament, right or wrong, I don't think people count it as a major tournament.
