Euro 2016 build-up: Wales thrash England 4-1 at the Racecourse in 1980

As Wales and England prepare for their Euro 2016 clash, we remember when Wales secured a memorable first home victory for 25 years over their old rivals with a 4-1 hammering at Wrexham in 1980.

After Paul Mariner's opener for England, local hero Mickey Thomas and striker Ian Walsh gave Wales a half-time lead.

Leighton James, Wales' goal hero in their win over England in 1977, scored Wales' third before England defender Phil Thompson's own goal rounded off the win for the hosts.
