Wales' path to Euro 2004

Ryan Giggs will spearhead the Welsh challenge

A who's who of Wales's rivals in European Qualifying Group 9


It's been a long wait for Wales.

The last time they qualified for a major tournament was when they reached the World Cup finals way back in 1958.

But with manager Mark Hughes masterminding the Welsh revival, this could be their best chance in years of making the grade.

In fact Wales have already done enough to secure a play-off place - so it's looking good so far!

And surely no-one would begrudge Ryan Giggs a starring role on the European stage.
