Wales players and staff held a minute's silence at their training ground in tribute to the late Gary Speed who passed away 11 years ago today.
Speed was a pivotal figure in Wales' rise from the doldrums, with the Red Dragons charging up the FIFA rankings under his leadership having dropped to a miserable low of 117th in the world.
However, just 15 days after overseeing an immensely impressive and encouraging 4-1 friendly win over Norway in what was only his 10th match as manager, Speed tragically took his own life.
