SLEEPING DRAGONS: The Welsh Wilderness of 1958-2016

Wales, the red-headed stepchild of British football. They could never have the glory or expectation of England, they couldn’t even lay claim to the history or moments of hope that belongs to Scotland. When England were winning the World Cup, when Scotland were going to major tournaments: Wales watched them on the telly. They spent a literal lifetime in the wilderness, between 1958 and 2016. This is a film about those times. 00:00 – Introduction 00:30 – A Brief History 04:50 – 1976 10:20 – 1980s 17:45 – 1992 and 1994 22:30 – 2004 26:30 – The Generation of Qualifying Learn more about your ad choices.
