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.
London-based Ukrainian chef Yurii Kovryzhenko and his pal headed for Cardiff to watch their beloved team face Wales in the momentous World Cup play-off final on Sunday.
After getting split up from their friends, they did as any reasonably person would do ahead of a football match: head for the pub! But, much to their welcome surprise, the welcome they received in a pub otherwise full of Wales fans was second to none. 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.
