Touched by Greatness: The Story of Welsh Football Exhibitions



Timed to coincide with Wales’s first appearance at an international football finals since 1958, this exhibition chronicles the heroic endeavours of the Wales’s greatest footballers. The right of a Wales team to exist has often been questioned and its stars refused permission to play, however, the team has become one of the unifiers of Wales and its star players – John Charles, Ian Rush, Ryan Giggs and Gareth Bale, some of the most famous Welshmen in the world. The eventful story is told through the artefacts and archives of the Welsh Football Collection.

Cyffyrddiad Cewri: Hanes Pêl-droed Rhyngwladol Cymru.
Wedi ei amseru i gyd-fynd ag ymddangosiad cyntaf Cymru mewn rowndiau terfynol rhyngwladol ers 1958, mae’r arddangosfa hon yn adrodd hanes ymdrechion pêl-droedwyr gorau Cymru. Mae hawl tîm Cymru i fodoli wedi ei gwestiynu sawl gwaith ac mae ei sêr wedi cael eu gwrthod rhag chwarae; fodd bynnag mae’r tîm wedi uno Cymru ac mae ei sêr – John Charles, Ian Rush, Ryan Giggs a Gareth Bale ymysg y Cymry enwocaf yn y byd. Caiff yr hanes helyntus ei adrodd drwy arteffactau ac archifau Casgliad Pêl-droed Cymru.
