Wales secured a memorable first home victory over England for 25 years with a crushing win at Wrexham. Paul Mariner gave England the lead at the Racecourse Ground before local hero Mickey Thomas and striker Ian Walsh put Wales ahead at the break. Leighton James then added a third before Phil Thompson's own goal rounded off a miserable night for Ron Greenwood's men.

:: Wales 1-0 England, Home International Championship, May 2, 1984

Wales' love affair with Mark Hughes began on this day 26 years ago when the young striker took just 17 minutes to mark his international debut with a goal, calmly flicking a low header past Peter Shilton in Wrexham. Hughes went on to earn another 71 caps, scoring another 15 goals in the process before returning to manage his country in a largely successful five-year spell.

:: Wales 2-1 England, international friendly, October 22, 1955

Wales' current caretaker manager Brian Flynn was just 10 days old when Swansea winger Cliff Jones scored the winner in a 2-1 victory against Walter Winterbottom's outfit at Ninian Park. Jones, who went on to play more than 300 times for Tottenham, described the winner in Cardiff as the best of his 25-year career.



:: Wales 4-2 England, Home International Championship, October 22, 1938
