Hartson: 'We failed! These Welsh boys won't'

Former Wales striker John Hartson gives a rousing, impassioned speech ahead of the European Championship qualifying match against Cyprus.

Comparable with Al Pacino's in 'Any Given Sunday', Hartson rhymes off "great Welsh players" and believes the current national squad "can go down in folklore, in history".

"I failed and Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy, Robbie Savage - we all failed. Mark Hughes, Ian Rush," continued the 40-year-old.

"Do you think they're going to mess it up now? Absolutely no chance. Welsh fans - book your trains, book your flights. We're off to France!"
