From a key victory against Belgium in the Euro 2016 qualification campaign to securing a place at Euro 2020 with a comfortable win over Hungary, the Red Wall has seen some historic moments at the Cardiff City Stadium.

As the stadium opened in July 2009, Wales were in John Toshack’s penultimate year as manager, with the late Gary Speed taking over just a year later.

The National Team’s first fixture at the home of Cardiff City was on the 14th of November 2009, as Wales faced George Burley’s Scotland.

Wales cruised to a 3-0 win, as George Burley was sacked as manager just two days later.

John Toshack selected 22 players to face the Scots, how many can you name?
