Together Stronger: The Rise of Welsh Football's Golden Generation

Together Stronger: The Rise of Welsh Football's Golden Generation

by Chris Wathan (Author)

Synopsis

Seemingly cursed by decades of perpetual near-misses and gut-wrenching tragedy, Together Stronger is the definitive story of an incredible decade when a golden generation of talented young players were identified and capped by John Toshack and Brian Flynn, developed into an effective and confident team by Gary Speed and, in incredibly difficult circumstances, united in an intensely close-knit and well-drilled squad by Chris Coleman to create the most successful qualification campaign in Welsh football history.With exclusive behind-the-scenes insights from many of Wales' key players including Chris Gunter, Neil Taylor, Joe Ledley and captain Ashley Williams - as well as the revealing and candid thoughts of Wales managers John Toshack and Chris Coleman - the award-winning journalist Chris Wathan has written the inside story of how a golden generation emerged to tell the greatest tale Welsh football has ever told.
