As Wales take part in their first World Cup for 64 years midfielder Joe Allen will be hoping for some minutes on the pitch. Cheering him on is his wife Lacey-Jo.
Joe and Lacey married in 2014, two years after the birth of their son Alfie and after seven years together. The pair married in the Gower just days after Joe played for Wales against Holland, where he was made captain for the first time.
Before the match, Joe said he would ‘wing it’ with both pre-match and post-vow speeches and said he had left finalising the nuptials to his then wife-to-be while out in Amsterdam. He said: "I think I’m going to wing it with both speeches so we’ll have to see how it goes. I’m not sure I can think about Saturday yet, one challenge at a time."
