Football: How Alice Street in Swansea gave Wales five internationals

By Neil Prior

BBC News

Alice Street is a friendly, working class collection of terraced houses, otherwise unremarkable in every respect - bar one.

Over a 13-year period in the middle of the 20th Century, this single street in the Cwmbwrla district of Swansea produced five Welsh international footballers, including the Charles brothers, John and Mel.

It is surely one of the few examples in world football of such a small area rearing so many internationals.

Now their story has been told in Wonderland, a documentary produced by Swansea University's Taliesin Arts Centre.
