BBC Radio Wales presenter Steffan Garrero documents how Wales reached the 1958 World Cup and reveals Welsh football's 'Myth of 58'

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is confident Wales can add Euro 2016 glory to his Champions League win.

"We're not going there to make up the numbers. We want to win every game we play, we want to win the group and give ourselves the best chance.

"No matter who we play, we feel confident in our own abilities that we can win and we will try and do that. 

"We all fight for each other on the pitch, we're like brothers. We all work for each other and would literally do anything for each other."

Former Wales defender

"No great surprises in the Wales squad selection. Chris Coleman has shown faith with the boys that got the job done in qualification."

Top stuff, Raynor! Not long to go, now!

Iwan Roberts
Former Wales striker and BBC pundit

"Chris has kept faith with many of his tried and trusted players. It's a strong squad who have shown a fantastic spirit in qualifying.

"He has given Joe Ledley every opportunity to get himself fit for the tournament. That could be a risk but has good cover in that position.

"I thought Emyr Huws would have been on the plane especially after his performance in the Ukraine."

Adam Matthews, Paul Dummett and Wes Burns are left out of Wales' Euro 2016 squad and full-back Matthews admits his disappointment

A big day for Dave Edwards. He's the first Wolverhampton Wanderers player to feature in a British squad for a major international tournament since Steve Bull went to Italia 90 with England.

So now we know the final 23 who will be making the trip to France, what do you think?

What would you do if you were Chris Coleman? Where would you play Gareth Bale? What formation would you use? Who should play with Ashley Williams at the back?

Think you can do better than the eleven players below? Pick your own Wales starting XI, here.

Wales forward Hal Robson-Kanu has a "little [fitness] problem" according to Chris Coleman, so Bristol City youngster Wes Burns is travelling to Sweden for Sunday's friendly as injury cover.

Robson-Kanu is expected to be fit for Wales' Euro 2016 opener against Slovakia on 11 June.

Wales boss Chris Coleman is in confident mood that the Wales players with injury doubts will be fit for Euro 2016 opener against Slovakia on Saturday week. 

"We are still assessing Joe Ledley ... I can't say if he will be available, we think he has a good chance and is ahead of the curve. 

"I expect Joe Allen to be ok. We're positive. 

"Gareth Bale was limping a bit after winning the Champions League with Real Madrid on Saturday but we know that it was cramp. He is probably in better physical nick than some of the other players."

Chris Coleman says telling players who missed out on a place in Wales' Euro 2016 squad was one of the most difficult moments of his career.

Among the notable omissions are defender Paul Dummett and midfielder Emyr Huws.

"With Emyr, there's a host of players in that midfield," said Coleman. 

"He's young, he's got a bit of experience but he's in good company in that midfield."

So what do you think of that, then? Joe Ledley makes the trip to France and the likes of Paul Dummett, Emyr Huws and Adam Matthews miss out.

Tweet us on @BBCWalesSport, external with your thoughts. Think you could have picked a better squad? Let us know!

The fitness of Joe Ledley was the big talking point beforehand, with the Crystal Palace midfielder recovering from a broken leg he suffered on 7 May.

Wales manager Chris Coleman has some good news: "With this type of injury, he's ahead of the curve. We think he's got a good chance for that [Slovakia] game."
