French connection for Wales football team
On Thursday, 25 May, 1933, the Wales football team played its first international against continental opposition with a trip to France to play in Paris. The game ended in a 1-1 draw with the Welsh goal coming from Bolton Wanderers centre half Tom Griffiths. It was Wales’ 155th international and every capped fixture up to that stage had been against either England, Scotland or Ireland. There had been two unofficial games against Canada in Wrexham in 1891.
