Parry scores for Wales
Paul Parry put Wales ahead twenty minutes into the first half against Canada this afternoon.
Parry finished off a good move with a superb header from about twelve yards. The ex-Hereford United player was subbed half way through the second-half to allow team-mate Rob Earnshaw to come on.
Final score: Wales 1 Canada 0.
After the match Welsh manager Mark Hughes commented:
"Parry's had a great start to his international career and I hope it's going to be a long one.
"He's come in and had an instant impact and has the knack of not giving the ball away, manager's love that."
Later Paul Parry said that scoring his first goal for Wales was like a dream comimg true.
"I started the season dreaming of things like scoring goals and playing for Wales," Parry said. "I find myself playing alongside people like Ryan Giggs, and I have to pinch myself.
"Mark Hughes told me to go out and play without fear and I hope that is what I've done today."
