A dramatic play-off victory, a team built around success in north London and the then-most expensive British player of all time leading the line... It's been 64 years but what happened last time Wales reached the World Cup?

In recent years, Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen have spear-headed a side that has qualified for three of the last four major tournaments - a better record than the likes of traditional powerhouses Italy and Holland.
