It wasn't meant to be for Wales in Qatar.
Rob Page's side crashed out of the World Cup on Tuesday after suffering a 3-0 defeat to neighbours England at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium. Although the Welsh couldn't reach the knockout stages, the idea of them even making the World Cup finals was unthinkable once upon a time. Yet one man believed in them.
It's almost 12 years since the late, great Gary Speed became Wales manager and set them on their way to qualifying for consecutive tournaments. Former Wales international Andy King believes they can continue gracing the biggest stages for years to come.
