Wales looking to Bale to help end drought

Gareth Bale is the key to Wales' Euro 2016 hopes as Chris Coleman's squad prepares for the nation's first appearance at a major tournament in 58 years.

Wales has many talented players, but legends such as John Charles, John Toshack, Ian Rush, Mark Hughes and Ryan Giggs were all world-class competitors who never played at a major finals in the red shirt.

Welsh fans have been planning their trips to France since last October when Wales confirmed its Euro 2016 place behind Belgium in their qualifying group.
