Cymru Wales Football Supporters Scarf

Product Information

Hartley echoes this view: “I’m hoping people choose Wales as their second team. We’re the underdogs, always have been. We’re not threatening. You could say that’s a political weakness or a cultural strength but we’re strong enough in our own skins to support Wales aloud and proud. We’re not aggressive or xenophobic. We’re just happy being Welsh.” Hughes grimaces. “The FAW were trying to market the team in a new way and we had this strapline: Time to Believe. After that game it was: Time to Forget.”

Chris Coleman did an admirable job replacing Speed. His empathy carried the squad through those bleak times even if Coleman was in charge when Gunter remembers their nadir in 2012. “We had a real bad 6-1 defeat in Serbia. A major tournament seemed a million miles away.”The Products tab displays thumbnails of our knitted football scarves and hats along with rugby scarves, school scarves, corporate scarves, and one-off custom made items. Whenever Gunter hears the clip of Sheen exalting “you sons of Speed” he feels raw emotion. “That line touches us because Gary was a giant. His fingerprints are still on Welsh football.” For Gunter and his best friend Aaron Ramsey, the lowest moment occurred with the death of Gary Speed in 2011. Hughes left the BBC, where he had spent decades commentating on Wales games, to join the FAW in 2010. Speed soon took over as manager and in his short tenure he transformed expectations and standards. Hughes says: “Gary brought discipline and commanded such respect. He had a real presence even though he had no ego.”

We pride ourselves on quality, value and service, thereby building long-term relationships with our diverse client base. Hughes remembers another galáctico being swept away when Wales played Poland in their final home game before the World Cup . “That night I focused on Robert Lewandowski,” he says, “and after the [Welsh] anthem he just looked up at the crowd and said: ‘Wow…wow!’” Chris Gunter, who plays for AFC Wimbledon in League Two, won the first of his 109 caps for Wales in 2007. We create custom made sport scarves and hats bespoke to your requirements. From as few as 50 scarves or hats we provide you with something unique.Instructing the Red Army to keep their chins up after a narrow loss to England, and entertaining everyone with his parents’ dilemma of whether to watch the semi-final or attend his brother’s wedding in Mexico, Gunter represented the Welsh heartbeat in 2016. He still does in 2022, even if at 33 he does not play many games. After remembering how his parents chose Wales over the wedding, Gunter reassures me there will be no clash of dates in Qatar. In September 2017, Wales won a World Cup qualifier 2-0 in Moldova and two of Iwan’s four sons travelled as supporters. Iwan recalls: “One of them called me after the game and said: ‘I’m in a club in Moldova and all the fans and the players are singing your song. I’m standing next to Aaron Ramsey who is singing Yma o Hyd like nothing you’ve seen before.’” Wales’s official World Cup video carries a harder edge. Yma o Hyd is played throughout footage which splices together iconic Welsh football moments with archive film of Iwan and other activists being arrested in the 70s. Images of the miners’ strike bleed into Sheen exalting “You sons of Speed” and Iwan crying as he sings with the Red Wall. We are manufacturers of quality knitted hats and custom scarves which have a diverse range of uses.
