Ukraine football fan gets lost in Cardiff and has amazing Welsh welcome

If there's one thing Wales can pride itself on without fault, it's the welcome extended to visitors. Hospitality, friendliness, warmth: we've got it all, and one pair of Ukrainian football fans would certainly agree.

After getting split up from their friends, they did as any reasonably person would do ahead of a football match: head for the pub!

Within just a few moments of entering the Queens Vaults in Cardiff, they were invited to join members of the Red Wall for a drink.
