In October 2015, a goal by Jason Demetriou for Cyprus against Wales in Zenica became the pivotal moment for Welsh football. Wales needed a point to secure their first major tournament qualification in 58 years. Trailing 2-0 to Bosnia-Herzegovina, Wales' fate rested on the final games of Cyprus and Belgium.

Demetriou's late goal gave Cyprus a 2-1 win, sealing Wales' place at Euro 2016. The Walsall defender recalls the shock and disbelief as fans celebrated wildly, unaware of the qualification. This single goal, scored by a player few knew, became the cornerstone of Wales' historic journey.
