Wales fan still singing on 6000 mile trip home

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Wales fans were still singing “please don’t take me home” as their historic 2016 run came to an end said ex-pat Leisha Vaughan–Humphreys. Currently living in Toronto, Ms Vaughan-Humphreys made the 6000 mile round trip home to Wales to watch the match in the fanzone in Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. Speaking to 5 live’s Phil Williams, she described herself as a “band wagoner” but said getting to the Euro 2016 semi-finals “transcends sport” and has “brought the whole nation together”. When asked what she most missed about Wales Ms Vaughan-Humphreys said “straight talking Welsh humour and curry half and half”. This clip is originally from Phil Williams on Wednesday 6 July 2016.
