I’ve died and gone to Heaven. It’s sheer paradise up here, through the pearly gates and beyond the stars, sipping ambrosia and breathing the aroma of eucalyptus oil on a bed of llama fur to the sound of harps. Hey, Dionysus! Peel me a grape…

And now here comes my long lost mother to comfort and reassure me. She loved me. I always clung tight to her…

Nanny and Poppa are here too.

Oh listen, there’s a Welsh choir of angels singing the old songs…

Look, I’m wandering through unspoiled panoramic landscapes stretching to the far horizon…

Here come all my old friends! Let’s have fun and go on an adventure!

I hear Micky and Deke. There’s a storm gathering…

I’m back at Ninian Park with Poppa in the 1960s..

I’m meeting Welsh supporters from every stage of our 146 years of international football, the players and managers who battled through all the heartbreak to bring us to this wonderful moment, and the ancient greats who laid the foundations…

My darling Helen is here! We’re exploring the wild Welsh coast again…

And it’s great to meet up with all my old trade union comrades…

Many of the people whose hearts I broke are here. I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean any harm, I was always so frightened of commitment…

Death is not so bad. I’ve died a happy man thanks to Rob Page and the boys.
