Product Information
While Wales' 2016 and 1958 teams are rightly fêted, the feat of the 1976 squad is largely forgotten. In just two years, Wales went from British Championship wooden spoon holders four years in a row to quarter-finalists at Euro '76. New manager Mike Smith had never played professional football - how on earth did he and his squad achieve this amazing turnaround? This book is a long-overdue celebration of a group of men who restored pride in the Welsh football jersey and gave the football public of Wales a reason to believe. Including background on the situation prior to 1974, player and coaching staff profiles, match accounts drawn from TV footage, contemporary newspaper reports and the author's own interviews with key figures from the campaign, examination of its controversia ending and a 'Where are they now?' section. Book jacket.

Trailing Clouds of Glory - Welsh footballs forgotten heroes of 1976 is an attempt to shine some light on a little-known slice of Welsh football history from the mid 1970s. It details the two-year period during which Wales went from ending up with the wooden spoon in the Home International tournament for four years in a row to being 1976 European quarter-finalists, within an ace of reaching the semi-finals of the continent's top international competition. Many remain oblivious to the feat of manager Mike Smith's squad, and with the passing of time their achievement becomes more distant and forgotten. For a country that has achieved so little on the field of play, why is this particular group not more celebrated? Nick Burnell attempts to put that right, having researched the topic meticulously in press archives and player and coach biographies, as well as personally interviewing many of the key figures on the team and coaching staff.The book includes background on the period before qualification started in 1974, a blow-by-blow account of all the matches involved (detailed by contemporary newspaper write-ups and the authors own interviews with key figures in the campaign) and examination of the fallout from its controversial ending. It also incorporates a 'Where are they now?' angle, giving further details on the players involved. The book runs more or less chronologically, focusing primarily on the eight core qualifying games, but is also conceived as a respectful overview of the 1970s in Welsh football generally, and a somewhat irreverent look at what was happening around the sport.This is a glimpse back into a less complicated era, before the onset of 24-hour saturation coverage and millionaire journeymen players, when footballers looked to the future by doing their coaching badges or searching for local pubs that needed new landlords. It's a reminder of the players and people in and around the scene who restored pride in the Welsh football jersey and gave the football public of Wales a reason to believe.Squad members:Terry YorathJohn Toshack Leighton JamesLeighton PhillipsJohn Josh MahoneyArfon Griffiths Brian Flynn Alan CurtisCarl Harris Dave Roberts Dave Smallman Dai Davies Derek Showers Gary Sprake Gil Reece Joey Jones John Phillips John Roberts Les Cartwright Malcolm (Mal) Page Mike England Phil Roberts Rod Thomas
