When I played in front of 74,000 against Azerbaijan in 2003 it was because we were doing well and flying. If we get to that scenario again, it means that we are doing well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is our chance to make history but if we do beat England we have to make sure that\u2019s not our greatest achievement and we push on and qualify for the next tournament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to sit here in five years, saying \u2018remember England\u2019. We want to remember qualifying. It would be fantastic should we win but that\u2019s not the only thing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Controversy has surrounded Gareth Bale\u2019s omission from the Wales team as Harry Redknapp confirmed he was not injured when he left London, but Speed has moved to clarify the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe swapped telephone messages and everything\u2019s fine.
