Sheen's passionate oratory on Sky's sports panel show A League of Their Own has gone viral on social media, with the two-minute clip having had over 13million views.

"He's coming to the first (World Cup) game with me," said Page, speaking after signing a new four-year contract that sees him in charge of Wales for the 2024 European Championship and 2026 World Cup qualifying campaigns. "It's fantastic. I well up every time I watch it. I'd been in a meeting in Cardiff and my phone was going mad so I knew something significant had happened. "When I watched it, wow, (I was) very emotional. "Personally I want to thank him for doing that. I want to let him know that I appreciate what he's done there. Because we're on the map, but he's taken it to another level for us. "I've already had messages from the players... they want to get him in straightaway, absolutely." Sheen was appearing on the Sky One show alongside Jamie Redknapp, Micah Richards and England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who Wales could come up against in their World Cup group game. In his speech, Sheen referred to the fixture against England, saying: "Give them some Welsh sugar."
