Since becoming good at football in the last couple of years, the Welsh team have quite rightly gained plenty of attention.
Only a few months ago, Chris Coleman’s men were charming the pants off the entire football world as they made it to the semi-finals of Euro 2016 – their first major tournament in bloody ages.

But it’s not *just* their football that’s caught our attention in recent months. Their pre-match team photos have also become the stuff of legend.
It’s a simple idea: instead of adopting a traditional team line up formation of six on the back row, five crouching down at the front, like this one:
