Nathan Blake relives Wales's run to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 and looks at how the team's success in France was a turning point for Welsh football over the next ten years.

It has been 10 years since Wales reached the semi-finals of Euro 2016, their first major finals in 58 years.

In this series, former Wales striker Nathan Blake tells the story of that incredible summer in France and how the tournament proved to be a catalyst for success over the next decade

After years of near misses, a golden generation of players emerge to finally take Wales to the big stage and win their opening match against Slovakia in Bordeaux.

But as the programme jumps between 2016 and what came after, Wales then fail to follow up that achievement by reaching the 2018 World Cup and subsequently inspirational manager Chris Coleman leaves his role.
