Craig Bellamy stood in for Wales' last two games and earned praise from the boss.

“I was very pleased with Craig's contribution to the last two games," said Toshack. "He was like a breath of fresh air around the place – particularly after the first game, that very worrying 5-1 defeat by Slovakia which shocked us all.”

“But it is fair to say that when Ryan Giggs returns from injury he will be the captain – with a bristling vice-captain alongside him in Craig.”
