Trailing Clouds of Glory: Welsh Football's Forgotten Heroes of 1976

by Nick Burnell

"Trailing Clouds of Glory is an instant classic... It's truly a defining text on the Welsh game, one that readers won't want to miss." - ISN Soccer "In Trailing Clouds of Glory, Nick Burnell chronicles a rare Welsh sporting achievement which deserves a wider telling. But the writer's own achievement comes in the way he encapsulates the ragged, sometimes rugged, joys of being a football-obsessed kid in the seventies, which will make this book a treat for any fan – Welsh or otherwise – old enough to remember that Gareth Bale hasn't always been there to save us against Azerbaijan." - Nick Davies, Wales Arts Review "Our qualification is often forgotten. That does rankle, because it was such a big achievement to get to the last eight." - Arfon Griffiths "Revolutionary is the only word to describe the changes that occurred when Mike Smith grasped the reins." - Dai Davies
