TONIGHT!
Lincoln City v Wrexham
FA YOUTH CUP
3rd Round Proper
This evening at 7.00pm, Nick Chadwick’s U18’s take on Lincoln City.
Since we first entered the FA Youth Cup in 1953/54, we have only reached the 4th Round once before in 1982/83, losing to SWFC.
Let’s hope we can make it again!
It’s such a shame that 😕
OTD 1978
Wrexham 4-3 West Ham Utd
Our first ever game against The Hammers - and what a cracker!
John Lyons scored the first Wrexham hat-trick at this level, along with Alan Hill.
David Cross, Frank Lampard and Pop Robson replied.
John very sadly took his own life four years later aged just 26 🖤
OTD 1970
Gillingham 1-2 Wrexham
After we were promoted the previous season, this was our first visit to Priestfield in 8 years.
18yo striker @billyashcroft9 was making just his sixth appearance and he scored his 3rd and 4th goals for us to win the game.
A great team this 👍

OTD 1974
Wrexham 1-1 Blackburn Rovers
50 years ago today, we entertained league leaders Blackburn.
19 year old Joey Jones scored his first ever goal at The Racecourse a minute after John Waddington looked to have won it from the spot.
Rovers went on to win the title by 1 point.

OTD 1986
Wolves 0-3 Wrexham
38 years ago, goals from Buxton, Cooke and Comstive continued our good start to the season.
It’s hard to believe that a club like Wolves were languishing in mid-table of the bottom tier then.
This was also Steve Bull and Andy Thompson’s WWFC debuts.
REFEREE WATCH
Wrexham v Exeter City
The man in the middle will be Steve Martin from Staffordshire.
Steve is known for his no-nonsense, hard man approach.
He booked 11 players at Middlesbrough v Stoke a few weeks ago and once sent off Frank Sinclair for Wrexham.

That’s very kind Dewi.
Diolch 🙏
A very Happy 48th Birthday to the man, the legend, Emad Bouanane 🎂🎉
Born and raised in Paris, a young Emad’s dreams of one day playing away at Aberystwyth Town in the FAW Premier Cup became a reality.
In the short video against Bournemouth, there was only one star on show.
Thank you Liam and this was a great idea to create. One click and you follow a huge community 🙂
