Continuing to celebrate 150 years of Welsh football @cymru , with my favourite piece, a centenary Majolica commemorative tile marking the occasion.

I've not seen another, but heard that Alan Curtis might have one, so possibly player issue.

The 6th coaster got lost in the post, so is kicking around a Royal Mail sorting office somewhere

Ma @Cymru yn 150 mlwydd oed heddy.

The @Cymru was founded today in February 1876 at the Wynnstay Arms Hotel in Wrexham.

It's the third oldest national football association globally, alongside being a founding member of FIFA and UEFA.

A Football History of Wales Told Through Newspaper Headlines From 1920.

The first item I've given away as a gift from the collection, now wishing I hadn't 🤣

This is an excellent read covering the many lows, along with the highs over the last 100 years.

The last time the Wales men's national football team scored 7 or more goals in a single match was on October 25, 1978, in a 7-0 victory over Malta. This match was a UEFA Euro 1980 qualifying game.

One of my favourite finds is this 1987 Derby Star Deko vintage FIFA approved FAW replica football in immaculate condition, with the original price sticker & never been kicked.

Here's hoping tonight's result is better than the Romania game 32 years ago yesterday.🤞

A recent find is this lovely old 1960's crest patch.
Which rumour has it will be on the next new away kit, along with the trefoil, which I bloody hope is true. 🤞
