So, after 64 years of hurt, moans, groans, tears, anguish and stellar names missing out, Wales have finally made it to a World Cup.
When those annoying lists of 'The best players not to be at the finals' are compiled this time around, the names of Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey will be missing.
Oh for that to have been the case down the years for Ryan Giggs, Ian Rush, Neville Southall, Mark Hughes. The list goes on - Leighton James, John Toshack, Craig Bellamy, Gary Speed, Kevin Ratcliffe.
