ARWR transports you to a moment in time, making you a fly on the wall during historical moments in Welsh history.
Welsh Football's Darkest Night tells the story of the night Wales played Romania in 1993 for a place at the World Cup. A night that had everything, and in the buildup captured the imagination of the country, before ending in heartbreak and tragedy.
ARWR is scripted and narrated by Henry Waddon. Sound design by Greg Caine. Produced by Greg Caine, Ryan March, and Charlie Phillips. Special thanks to BBC Sport Wales' Chris Wathan and Prof. Laura McAllister for sharing their memories and experiences.
