The summer of 2016 is immortalised in Welsh football folklore.

Wales had not qualified for a major international tournament since the World Cup of 1958 in Sweden.

Euro 2016 in France gave a squad dubbed the ‘golden generation’ an opportunity to shine on the international stage.

Stars such as Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and captain Ashley Williams led a squad of players to the summer of their lives.

Wales topped a group containing Slovakia, England and Russia, before beating Northern Ireland in Paris in the last 16.

In the quarter-finals they faced one of the tournament favourites, Belgium, in Lille.

Hal Robson-Kanu scored one of the most iconic goals in Wales’ history in a 3-1 win that ranks as one of the best results in the 150 year history of Welsh international football.

Without the suspended Ramsey and Ben Davies, Wales were beaten by eventual Euro 2016 winners Portugal.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in the semi-final in Lyon, but Euro 2016 remains a defining chapter for the national side.
