The day Wales nearly beat Brazil

As Australia prepare to face the might of Brazil in today’s World Cup game, I came across a photo I took moments after Wales took the lead against the South Americans in a Cardiff friendly in 1983. 

It couldn’t last – but a 1-1 draw was a great result against one of the game’s superpowers.

Shame Wales didn’t make it to the World Cup finals – again. It’s 48 years since we appeared in the last stages, going out in the quarter finals to … Brazil.
