On 25 March 1876, the Football Association of Wales played its inaugural match, against Scotland in Glasgow. On that day 11 intrepid footballers became the first of over 700 players to proudly represent the senior men’s team of the world’s third oldest football nation.

Sons of Cambria is the first volume of a landmark three-part collection that will feature every footballer capped for Wales’ senior men’s team since 1876 and is the essential reference guide for all followers of Welsh international football.

Listed in the order in which they won their caps, every player has for the first time been assigned their unique player number, with Volume I containing biographical listings of the 374 players capped between 1876 and 1939 (as well as the 30 players who represented Wales in uncapped war-time matches) including photographs of almost all the players. In addition to the players, Sons of Cambria also lists every international match (capped and uncapped) played between 1876 and 1946, and includes team photographs from 38 of those games.

Packed with incredible stories, fascinating facts and hundreds of photos, Sons of Cambria is a book all Welsh football fans will treasure.

Ian Garland is the author of The History of the Welsh Cup, is joint author of The Canaries Sing Again – a history of Caernarfon Town FC, and, with Prof. Martin Johnes, ‘the new craze’: Football and Society in north-east Wales c1870-1890. Gareth M Davies is the co-author of Racecourse Robins: A Who’s Who of Wrexham AFC 1929-1999. In 1994 he also edited and compiled A Coast of Soccer Memories 1894-1994, the centenary book of the North Wales Coast Football Association.
