Original subtitles

-Hi. -Hello.

Um, usually we start each episode

with something funny or heartwarming,

but this week I think we should address...

Uh... Well, what people have been saying about us.

This is probably the time. [chuckles]

What have people been saying about us?

Well, you know, the Disney thing.

Oh. Yes. The Disney thing.

[notification chirping]

[McElhenney] Apparently, people in the UK and all over the world

have taken to calling Wrexham "Disney FC."

[Reynolds] I assume it's because the show's on the Disney Network.

Well, or my other shows on the same network.

Or the Deadpool films. Those are also on there.

-Your first show, I think, was Disney. -Yes, it was.

The point is that we get it, you know?

There's similarities, okay?

We like parades, we like fans, we like costumed characters,

merch. I could go on.

I'm going to be dead honest with all of you.

I wanted with all of my heart to hate Disneyland.

The commodification of nostalgia is just gross,

and I could not wait to hate all over it.

And then I went for the first time.

And I swear to all that is holy,

I was transported, like a child,

to the happiest place on Earth.

It is happy over there. There's a lot of crowds though.

-That's the problem with me... [mumbles] -Yes. I know you get crowded.

We have covered how much more famous you are than me

-in many episodes. Could I continue? -"Much" is a strong word.

-Yes, please. -Is there a way that I could

-just continue my story? -But I feel like the bit is getting

-a little bit long and it's starting to... -Right, sorry.

I was transported to a magical place

where no matter what was happening outside,

if I just opened myself up and believed,

that magic could happen.

I have gone to that magical place, that is Disneyland,

every year for my birthday ever since.

[Reynolds] This isn't what we talked about. I don't like this.

I know that I may sound like a company show, but it is the truth.

If we put ourselves in the right place at the right time,

there is magic to be experienced in the world.

I truly believe that.

So, we invite you all to come experience that magic with us

through the tale of Disney FC.

And the rest of you jaded pricks

can go [bleep] your [bleep] selves.

can go [bleep] your [bleep] selves. Oh, God, thank you. I was...

Oh, God, thank you. I was...

For a second there I thought I lost you.

-Yeah, no. I... Yeah. -He's back. Oh, that's my guy.

I think we should start this off in true Disney fashion, all right?

We start with a world and it's doing just fine.

[♪♪ uplifting music plays]

Andy!

Andy, go spare!

[Mark Griffiths] O'Connor whips it under the bar.

Good save, that.

Good save, that. Nearly went straight in.

Nearly went straight in.

It's kept alive, and Lee smashes it home. Elliot Lee.

And Wrexham go 1-0 up.

-[all chant] Wrexham! -[Phil Parkinson] Get on the edge!

[Griffiths] Here's Dobson again, chipping it in under the bar.

Cleworth is there! It's in! Wrexham score!

And that is the definition of a hard-fought win.

We really worked hard for that, didn't we?

[commentator] Yeah, the way to bounce back, signs of a good team.

When you lose, you don't lose twice.

-Like, absolutely fine. -Yeah.

We even have a new hero coming to the forefront.

I'm Jack Marriott. I play for Wrexham and I'm a striker.

[Griffiths] Marriott sprinting. The keeper comes out the box.

Marriott's passed him and he strikes it in!

[Marriott] From the moment I could walk

I was carrying a football, kicking a football.

That was always my thing growing up. I was just obsessed.

[crowd cheering]

[Griffiths] Jack Marriott drills it into the ground

and it ricochets into the roof of the net,

and that is how you quiet the crowd down, I suspect.

[Marriott] At 12, I was playing for my local team,

semi-professional team at the age of about 13.

And then ultimately signed for Ipswich

when I was 15 as an academy player,

and made my debut when I was 18 for the first team.

Uh, so after my two years at Ipswich,

I went on loan to Woking,

which, as an 18-year-old,

was probably the best thing I could have done,

because you go and you're playing men's football.

[crowd cheering]

[Marriott] Playing with guys that the result really matters

because it's bills, it's mortgages,

and with people who need to provide for their families.

We brought Jack in last season

and he's got really good pedigree at this level and above.

Career had been derailed a little bit

at Fleetwood for several reasons,

but he scored a great goal in the first game of the season.

[Griffiths] And Marriott volleys it

over the keeper in top left corner.

[Parkinson] After that goal,

I think our supporters started to see what we already knew.

That, you know,

Jack just needed to regain his confidence a little bit.

[Marriott] When I heard of Wrexham's interest,

[Marriott] When I heard of Wrexham's interest, it was a no-brainer.

it was a no-brainer.

The ambition of this club to move up the leagues

is something I couldn't turn down.

[Griffiths] And that is the final action of the match.

Wrexham needed to put on a bit of a show, and did.

[crowd cheering]

[Marriott] Football is not an easy industry to be in.

You are a piece of meat.

One minute you're everything and then the next you're not.

And everyone has an opinion on you.

They think they know you

from watching you play football. So... But...

The only people who know me are my friends and my family.

Press the green button to generate the fuel.

I'd like to say I'm confident the majority of the time.

I've had doubts and self-doubts in the past.

What color are you gonna do the D? Blue?

-[spouse] That looks good. -[kid] Blue.

You get into moments where you doubt everything.

You know? Performance. Can you do it?

What is that supposed to be?

[Marriott] Doubts as a father.

And I feel like the one person

that's been able to get me out of that

more than anybody is my wife.

She can see the signs and she knows exactly what to say.

How would you describe Daddy, Bodie?

-Cool. -[Taylor] Cool.

-I'd also say very disciplined, dedicated. -[Bodie chuckles] Yeah!

[Marriott] She keeps me on my toes

and I'm not the same without my family.

Having the support unit I do with my wife

and my son and my whole family around me

has been, you know,

imperative to getting out of those sticky patches,

and to being able to get your mental health back.

I love him so much. I wish only good things for him.

And for him to score tons of goals for us.

As we all know, early in every single Disney movie,

tragedy always strikes.

tragedy always strikes. Like killing Bambi's mom.

Like killing Bambi's mom.

-[scoffs] Nemo's mom. Yeah. -Yeah.

Yeah. Cinderella, Snow White.

Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast.

It's-It's a lot of dead moms.

What about The Lion King?

[screaming]

No!

-Right, so they kill dads too. -Yep.

-Okay. -We should be considerate about that.

The point is something tragic always happens

in the beginning.

[Reynolds] Oh, no.

-[Marriott] Hi, guys. -Oy.

-How are you? -Yeah, good. You?

Good, yeah, I'm all right, mate.

I remember him. We were playing a little small-sided game...

got played in down the side,

went to hit it with his right foot...

a little bit off balance.

And then... The play goes on, and then you look over

and he's in a heap on the floor.

-[Kevin] -[O'Connor]

So fractured the fibula,

so they've had to put a ten-centimeter plate in

and seven pins to put it back together.

Kev was telling me they had to drill 16 holes.

[O'Connor]

[stutters] I heard the crunch as I came down on it,

but I didn't want to admit that I heard the crunch.

'Cause I'm like,

"Oh, I'll just get on with it. I'll be all right."

Yeah, and then... But then when I stood up,

I put my left foot down slightly.

And I was like, "No. No, no, no."

[Rathbone] You know how much it affects the player

and the person and ramifications for the future,

contracts, blah blah blah blah blah.

You've got to remember that throughout the season

you'll need all the players,

so if they have four weeks out, two weeks out,

so if they have four weeks out, two weeks out, um, you do need to make sure they still feel a part of the group.

um, you do need to make sure they still feel a part of the group.

Aye, aye, aye.

-[McElhenney] Well, that sucks. -[Reynolds] Terrible.

I mean, there's Bambi's mom can only go up from here.

Right?

[groans]

-Right? -Right.

[McElhenney] Now, in Disney films, there's usually

[McElhenney] Now, in Disney films, there's usually -one heartbreaking event at the beginning of the movie. -[Reynolds] Ah, yes.

-one heartbreaking event at the beginning of the movie. -[Reynolds] Ah, yes.

But here at Wrexham we like to do things bigger,

so we've got two.

[Griffiths] It's gonna be a fascinating battle this,

I can promise you that.

[all] Wrexham!

Frantic start, isn't it?

Both sides really battling for every loose ball.

It was an error at the back by O'Connor.

Tremendous saving tackle that.

Arthur Okonkwo's doing well today.

That save was crucial.

Okonkwo with a really good long ball

that will find Palmer in space.

that will find Palmer in space. Which he helps on nicely. Mullin's turned well, finds Barnett.

Which he helps on nicely. Mullin's turned well, finds Barnett.

Edge of the area. Chance with his right foot!

[suspenseful music plays]

-[Griffith] Goal! - [cheering]

-[Griffith] Goal! - [cheering] What a finish by Ryan Barnett!

What a finish by Ryan Barnett!

[Griffiths] Great strike by Barnett.

[commentator] That's upped the noise levels a little bit.

[Phil] What a fucking goal.

[commentator] And Baccus starts the second half.

[commentator] And Baccus starts the second half. [Phil] Win it, Barney!

[Phil] Win it, Barney!

Just lunging interception. A mistake by Scarr.

Just lunging interception. A mistake by Scarr. Shot comes in. Brilliant save.

Shot comes in. Brilliant save.

And Barnett puts good pressure on.

The ball goes wide for the corner,

as Lewis was looking to tap it in.

[crowd chanting]

[coach] No. Is he all right? Is he all right? Could be... No.

[crowd chanting]

[Griffiths] But Okonkwo is being treated now.

[Griffiths] It was a hell of a strong right hand he got on the ball.

I think he may have sprained his wrist.

That seems to be where he's being treated.

[commentator] Hopefully, he's trying to take

a little bit of the sting out of it,

'cause the last couple of minutes,

Mansfield have really stepped on.

Come on.

[Griffiths] What a brilliant stretch by Okonkwo, who is up now.

He is okay to carry on.

[Phil] Come on, get ready, everybody! Come on, come on!

[Griffiths] Still 1-0 to Wrexham.

[Griffiths] Still 1-0 to Wrexham. Can they see out these last few minutes and hang on for the win?

Can they see out these last few minutes and hang on for the win?

Move it quicker, everybody!

[Griffiths] Frantic, this. Scrapping for the ball.

[Phil] Get on the ball! Come on!

[commentator] What it is... It's like a hot potato at the minute.

[Griffiths] Hot potato, by the way, is my wrestling name,

but we'll talk about that later.

[Phil] Get the fucking ball!

[Griffiths] Wrexham been rattled a bit the last couple of minutes.

Fucking hell!

[commentator] Thirty seconds of added time left

and Wrexham have to repel this.

And the ball's played in again. Chance for Gregory. Hits it.

Hits the bar!

And O'Connor heads it clear. Still not cleared though.

Boateng in the D. Takes a shot.

Terrific block, that, by Lee.

Chipped into the goalmouth again.

Gregory heads it up in the air,

and Okonkwo takes it under pressure.

Fucking hell.

[referee whistle blows]

And, oh, there's the final whistle.

Huge win for Wrexham.

Mansfield not a class act.

But Wrexham got the early goal from Barnett,

defended brilliantly,

and get the three points.

[crowd] Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Birmingham dropped points today, but Wycombe Wanderers won,

so sadly, that automatic promotion spot

will remain just out of reach for now.

[interviewer] Arthur, just give me a nice clap

in front of your face, please.

[all laughs]

[crew member] It's for audio. Sorry, mate. You got it?

Yeah.

[Griffiths] This man's on fire!

What a brilliant stretch by Okonkwo,

who is slow to get up.

The wrist, yeah?

[Okonkwo] Early into the game,

their striker was running through on goal.

I come to spread and smother,

and my hand gets caught in between him and Max.

It happened so quickly.

It happened so quickly. Going into half time,

Going into half time,

I was thinking maybe I'd just done a sprain or just a knock.

[grunts]

Uh, Kev was able to strap up my hand.

I made a save second half. I was really in pain.

But I didn't wanna come off the pitch.

I really wanted to stay on, try and help the team as much as I can.

It wasn't even a discussion.

I was going back out and finishing the game.

As a goalkeeper, you don't wanna let down the manager, the team.

As a goalkeeper, you don't wanna let down the manager, the team. Sometimes it's hard to find the balance of when to come off

Sometimes it's hard to find the balance of when to come off

and when not to.

[Griffiths] And he is okay to carry on.

Cast has been replaced with a new one on.

Swelling's come significantly down.

Good. Well, good to see you again.

Um, so we spoke on video call last week

a few days after your injury.

Um, and Kevin explained that you had this hyperflexion type injury.

You had an MRI scan, which has shown that you've got this...

what we call osteochondral fracture to your lunate bone.

-Fuck! Fuck. -Fuck!

So the MRI scan showed that, luckily,

you didn't have any significant ligament injuries,

which can be quite nasty. Erm...

And normally with bone injuries,

we can treat it either in a cast and let it heal,

or we can operate to try and get it back to the right shape.

This one, I think it's quite acceptable to leave it to heal itself.

So we've got your splint remolded today.

Every bone takes around about six weeks to heal.

And my plan would be to re-scan it in...

It would be around about four weeks from today, wouldn't it?

And then we'll get that, erm,

checked to make sure everything looks okay.

Uh, and if so, we can start your rehab process.

-Yeah, happy with that. -Great stuff.

Okay. I'll shake that hand in case it's too sore.

Okay. I'll shake that hand in case it's too sore. -Brilliant. Cheers. Thanks as always. -Thanks, Kevin. No problems.

-Brilliant. Cheers. Thanks as always. -Thanks, Kevin. No problems.

So at least five weeks, no Okonkwo.

That's... That's eight matches.

Do you feel it? Because we sure do.

Shove your fucking Disney up your arse

Disney+ is wank.

Okay, we get it. We're Disney FC. Very clever.

But two things: one, to all the opposing clubs

who are upset that we didn't choose them

and went with Wrexham instead, I am sorry.

And two...

Two... Uh... What was two again?

One was "Sorry we thought that Wrexham was more special

than the other clubs." And two was the...

Oh. Uh... No.

-Oh, no, it was one... It was one... -I lost it. I had it.

-One was "Sorry we..." -One was the...

-One was the... -The thing about the Wrexham thing.

And what the hell was two?

I lost it. I had it for one second.

You know when you get the memory, and you're like...

It's up in your brain and then it's gone.

Just sort of like comes from both sides.

-Or it goes further up. -Anyway. Let's get back to our story

-and more Disney tropes. -Yeah, I think we should get back to that.

the hero commits to training

in order to become a better version of themselves.

Yes, like Mulan.

[♪♪ "I'll Make a Man Out of You" plays]

Oftentimes it's a deviation

from the actual story and a bit of a filler

-for comedic or inspirational purposes. -A filler.

Really inspirational.

A little bit of comedy kinda peppered in or something like that, which...

You know, that reminds me that we've got our own Hercules.

-Humphrey. -Humphrey.

[McElhenney] Let's catch up on his mission to complete a marathon

to benefit the Wrexham Miners Project.

[Humphrey] So, one thing as a first time marathon runner,

I have unbelievable support resources.

Particularly from Kevin Mulholland.

He has been monitoring my progress.

Gatorade as well, one of our sponsors,

have been all over it with me.

Ian Rollo, I'm a principal scientist

with the Gatorade Sports Science Institute.

And I'm joined by Caroline Tarnowski,

-another, uh, GSSI scientist. -And you?

We did explore taking you over to America

to run the tests in our facilities in America,

but, luckily, this facility at Manchester Performance Institute

is where we'll do a series of tests today.

For us and for you to learn

a little bit more about your body,

so we're better positioned to inform the training.

-What is this doing? -This is measuring body fat muscle mass.

Total body fat was around 36.8%.

Is that good? It doesn't sound very good.

I feel like I hear people having quite low percentage body fat.

Normative data for, like, males of your age

would be around like 26-28% ideally.

-What have I got good points on? Anything? -Erm... [chuckles]

-You're nice and tall. Yeah. -Yeah. [laughs]

Probably run the marathon sub two hours with all that help.

Every four minutes we're gonna ask you

how hard you feel like you've been working.

[Humphrey] Sure.

And all you do is point on this scale. So it goes from six,

which is no exertion at all,

and it goes all the way up to 20,

which is maximum exertion.

Four-minute run. Four-minute effort.

That's nothing to an athlete like me.

What does this do? The harness.

-Just to make sure if you're gonna fall. -Okay. Great.

You don't fly off the back of the treadmill.

[laughs] That's very sensible.

Three. Two. One.

[uplifting music plays]

-[Conor] Treadmill slowing down. -[panting]

[Conor] Nice work. So just do your RP again first.

[panting, grunts]

Fourteen? The treadmill is starting up again.

[Conor] Can you hang in for two more minutes?

[Humphrey panting] I don't think so.

-Feeling all right, Humphrey? -Fuck off, Kev.

[laughing]

Wow, Kev.

I didn't realize we had our own Disney villain,

evil laugh and all.

Super evil.

[Kev cackles]

[Conor] Treadmill slowing down.

[panting]

Great job, well done. Just give me a point while we can.

Fucking hell. [grunts, pants]

[exhales sharply]

Do you reckon you got to your max?

Yeah, it felt like a good, appropriate time to stop.

Makes me realize I've got a long way to go.

But there's still time for me

to stop eating sausage and egg McMuffin

on the way to the Manchester Institute of Health and Performance.

Erm... [clicks tongue]

But, uh... [stammers] That's tomorrow's challenge, you know?

Today, yes, I did eat one on the way here.

A text from my mother. [breathing heavily]

Does she know that somewhere her son is in distress?

-[Reynolds] Not quite Herculean. -[McElhenney] No.

-[Reynolds] Not quite Herculean. -[McElhenney] No. But now Jack Marriott is out.

But now Jack Marriott is out.

The goalkeeper that we went all in on is out,

and he can't even clap.

This is definitely our "all is lost" moment.

Oh, no, it isn't.

I'm pretty sure it is.

Trust me, sweetie. Movies are different than TV.

We're following a Disney movie structure.

It's gonna get way, way worse.

Right now?

No. Not yet. No, that's not gonna... No. First...

First we're gonna give you a false sense of security.

Remember how we've been talking about needing to find a partner in all this?

You know, someone who's tested positive for cash.

Who'll put the town and the team's needs above their own.

You mean a normal billionaire?

[cackles]

That does not exist.

[stutters] I don't know any of those. Do you?

I don't. But I have a feeling that we're about to find out.

[Rich Fay] Wrexham have announced some major news

that there has been a new minority investment in the football club.

And that is the news that the Allyn family

have been confirmed as new minority investors.

Who are you guys?

-Who are we? [chuckles] -Sure, sure. Who are we?

-My name's Eric Allyn. And... -I'm Kaleen Allyn, I'm Eric's daughter.

We all grew up in our small town.

In Skaneateles, New York,

which is a small community in the Finger Lakes.

We have two stop lights.

Our family had a medical device business

that was started in the year 1915.

We made instruments that looked into the eyes,

ears, nose, throat,

and any other body cavity you might have.

The term of "bright instruments and dark holes"

or "if you have an orifice, we have an instrument"

have all been used for our company.

[McElhenney] Ryan, we came to the Allyns for a reason,

because my TV money and your movie star money

can't support this endeavor alone.

And I probably should have listened to the people who told me

-to go into the medical field of orifices. -Orifices.

[Eric] We had this business for about a hundred years

until we were forced to sell the business in the year 2015,

and it ripped our hearts out.

Since then, we've been taking the proceeds of the sale

and trying to do good things with them.

So we built something called Salt City Market in Syracuse.

A space for restaurant vendors to set up.

And these tend to be a lot of refugees,

as well as folks from the city of Syracuse

who just wouldn't have an opportunity to build a restaurant.

[Andrew Gilpin] By all accounts,

when you sort of delve into them a little bit,

they seem quite a good community-focused family.

They seem like genuinely nice people.

[Humphrey] The first time I met the Allyns

was in Vancouver at a preseason game.

And I was talking to them, and suddenly they looked over my shoulder

as though Elvis had come into the room,

because Wayne from The Turf had entered the vicinity.

And they rushed over to him and pumped his hand.

Like, "Oh, my God. We love you, Wayne. You're so great."

That speaks to why they're here.

They love the town and the people

much more than they're excited about hanging around

with the fancy Dans in the posh boxes.

[Eric] The biggest challenge

is growing this club and still retaining that local culture.

And that sounds so simple

and it's maybe the most difficult thing of all.

[Kaleen] This investment is gonna be used to drive local businesses.

It's gonna actually work on the real estate development around Wrexham,

making sure Wrexham, the city, is not left behind,

while Wrexham AFC takes off in the way that it has.

Oh!

Did you enjoy the commercial break?

[McElhenney] Now Disney's not just in it for the feel-good.

[chanting]

Onto the show where we are about to come face-to-face

with one of our greatest foes.

Don't like them one bit, to be honest.

[sports fan]

[friend laughs]

[Griffiths] Wrexham away to Stockport County.

Similarly upwardly mobile.

Just like Wrexham, they're in the playoff spots

and they're aiming at promotion.

Always a buzz in the air for this game.

This time, Wrexham stepping slightly into the unknown.

At the midpoint of a Disney movie,

you often have a new character introduced

who changes the course of the story.

Midpoint characters. Oh, I love those. I love them so much.

Like, uh, Moana meeting Maui. Or Jessie in Toy Story.

And now in our story, that is backup goalkeeper Callum Burton.

And now in our story, that is backup goalkeeper Callum Burton. [Mia Roberts] First league start today. He's looked impressive

[Mia Roberts] First league start today. He's looked impressive

and he's now got this opportunity

to sort of prove why he was brought in.

I don't think we could have found anyone

who fit the bill more than Callum.

In training, he's brilliant. He understands his role.

He's got determination as well that he knows he's a good keeper,

and when he steps in, he's very confident.

I've been number two and backed up a lot of goalkeepers.

Obviously, it's never the way you'd wanna come into a team

with a teammate getting injured.

One thing I've learned is you'll always get an opportunity in football.

It was just making sure I was right in them months,

when an opportunity did come, which eventually it did.

Yes, here we go. Come on, my son. Come on.

Win that toss, yeah? All the best, son. Come on, son.

[crowd chanting]

[Griffiths] Fasten your seat belts.

This is going to be interesting.

And away we go. Bödvarsson pops it back.

Now it's played out wide. High. Squares it.

Now Norwood can help... Instead, he beats Elliot Lee. Lovely play.

Feeds the ball to Connolly with a pass. Bit too wide.

He was hoping to get a shot off, but he was forced wide by that.

He gets a cross in.

And it's Barnett hovering behind the center backs.

The shot comes in and it's blocked.

Is it a handball? Ref says no.

Dobson with a big block.

Dobson with a big block. Shot by Barry! Oh, what a goal.

Shot by Barry! Oh, what a goal.

What a goal by Louie Barry, his eleventh of the season.

He's a class act, and well...

If you don't save those,

whether you're Arthur, Okonkwo, or Callum, Burton, Do you?

Come on, let's settle a bit!

[Griffiths] Ball worked out wide. It's Collar now.

Chance to cross, pulls it in. Much too deep. Goes to Callum Burton.

There you fucking go!

[Griffiths] Big kick by Burton. Palmer underneath that.

It flicks off a defender.

And now Bödvarsson's done well to get there

and he's chopped down by Horsfall.

[Phil] By the fucking way, I'm not having that.

-He's pushed him in the fucking board. -Phil.

-That's a fucking bad tackle. -No red card.

[Griffiths] Barry. Good tackle by Cannon, who's been lively.

Bödvarsson with the return pass

and Cannon is pulled to the ground.

[crowd clamoring]

That's got to be a yellow. Surely. Yeah.

I mean the Stockport fans are going mad,

but how can you argue against any of that?

Listen, listen, listen.

I don't mind you moaning, but be realistic.

Be realistic?

-You're supposed to be a lady. -[fan laughs]

[fan 2] Who told you that?

[Griffiths] But now, we have to defend another corner.

We defend it easily. Headed away at the near post.

Up to this one!

[Griffiths] Sweeps it back in towards the penalty spot. Headed towards goal--

Good save by Burton! Double save by Burton.

-Fucking hell! -Wrexham need to step things up.

Come on! Andy! Yes, go in again! Come on!

[Griffiths] And the ball is now picked up by Stockport.

Good burst again by Barry down the left channel.

And the shot! Good save by Burton!

And the shot! Good save by Burton! Oh, my God. Barry's a step above this level and he's brilliant.

Oh, my God. Barry's a step above this level and he's brilliant.

Let's move it quicker, everybody!

[Griffiths] McClean. Chance to cross, rips the ball in.

Wrexham player goes down in the box, doesn't ask for a foul.

Now Stockport can break down the left-hand side.

He'll head for the corner flag, surely.

And Adaramola decides to cross.

It's laid off. Will the shot come in?

It's laid off. Will the shot come in? It does and it's a brilliant save by Burton to finish it off.

It does and it's a brilliant save by Burton to finish it off.

It does and it's a brilliant save by Burton to finish it off. [referee whistle blows]

[referee whistle blows]

A magnificent performance by him.

And that is the final whistle. Stockport beats Wrexham.

-The final touch, appropriately, -[crowd cheering]

Callum Burton tipping the ball over the bar.

The best of a string of saves he's made.

You can't come here half-cocked

and half-cooked and expect to win.

I'll tell you that now. The goalkeeper stopped 'em scoring fucking five.

So it could have been five again.

'Cause he was fucking outstanding.

[crowd cheering]

[Griffiths] Sweeps it into the near post and it's there!

[Griffiths] Sweeps it into the near post and it's there! -[crowd cheering] -Yeah!

-[crowd cheering] -Yeah!

Barnett delivers early. That's a lovely ball.

Oh, it's a great goal!

Wrexham win 3-0 against Exeter.

Burton made a couple of sharp saves in the second half.

[McElhenney] Ooh, I like how this is going with our new character.

-[Reynolds chuckles] This is working out. -[McElhenney] Yeah.

[Griffiths] Wrexham at home against Lincoln City today.

Callum Burton in goal.

He's been unbelievable, hasn't he? Fair play.

Swept in dangerously. Headed towards goal.

Brilliant save by Burton. Oh, my word.

[commentator 2] That's a brilliant win.

[Mia] Really important in these two games

to get maximum points and we've done that.

We can now go into next Tuesday on a real high.

Just gotta hope we keep this momentum now going forward.

Yes, indeed. Welcome back.

-I feel like we've taken this too far. -Way too far, Rob.

Strike those lights

-and kill the sound. -I don't know where this came from.

[Reynolds] You can't even do this in the old setup.

[McElhenney] It's so fucking stupid.

-[Reynolds] What's this? -[McElhenney] Oh, yeah.

Those are 10.5K ultra-high resolution, wide-field-of-view cameras.

They're for Cosm.

Most people, or a lot of people,

are unable to go and physically be at a stadium,

at a venue, and really capture the essence of the fanship of their sport,

and so Cosm allows you to feel as if you are immersed within the sport.

Because of where our cameras are positioned

you get the capture of the pitch.

You get the capture of being within the fans onsite.

This is one of the best shots that we've had.

[Griffiths] Oh, hello and welcome to Wrexham.

This League 1 match against Barnsley,

2nd against 6th,

as Wrexham look to maintain our terrific home record

against a Barnsley side who are serious promotion contenders.

Every team that comes here raises their game.

So Barnsley are a good side, they'll just raise it again.

A lot of the clubs that come here are a lot bigger than us.

[Griffiths] I mean, look at their pedigree. Just four seasons ago,

they were in the playoffs to get into the Premier League.

This is a serious side, Barnsley,

and they will offer a serious challenge to Wrexham.

[Griffiths] Oh, yes, of course

we've got the big fancy-shmancy, 360-degree cinema thing

going on in the States as well,

so I hope they're all having a great time watching that.

-Awesome. -[McElhenney] Hi.

Oh. Wow. Look at this place.

-Thank you for coming. -Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

-This is too much for me. Too much. -Yeah. Yeah.

I'm having an out-of-body experience right now.

-It feels like you're at a game, right? -It's mind-blowing.

I am not in Wales.

What?

[Griffiths] It's another night.

Under the night here, Wrexham unchanged and ready to go.

Come on, the town!

Well, away we go.

Come on, you Reds!

[Griffiths] Brunt is able to clear.

Palmer gets up but it's a firm header away from him.

And now Wrexham in midfield, but handball given.

[McElhenney] Look at Phil.

-It's never fucking handball. You gave it. -Phil. I didn't.

He didn't see it. How did you fucking see that, Ben?

It's never fucking handball!

[Griffiths] Swings into a dangerous area,

headed partially away by Rathbone.

Palmer on the right flank.

-Oh, his cross is blocked. -[groans]

Both head forward, and Keillor-Dunn takes it beautifully.

He's got Humphrys inside. What a tackle by Cleworth.

-Great closing! Well done, boys! -[Griffiths] Goodness me.

What a view.

We keep looking down there and it feels like

we're sitting right next to those people.

Not as cold.

[Griffiths] Wrexham's midfield are having to drop off.

It's like one of those tough away games that people complain about.

[Phil] Lift it, lift it. Yes, Ollie, play!

[Griffiths] Palmer's way offside, as McClean knocks it over the top.

Fuck off.

[Griffiths] Nothing's going their way.

Oh, long ball over the top. Poor.

Straight to Burton from the free kick.

There's one bright side: Callum Burton's still going strong

in the absence of injured Arthur Okonkwo.

[McElhenney] He broke a piece of his arm, but Callum's playing so well.

He's got two clean sheets in a row

and only given up one goal in three games,

which is a great problem to have when Arthur comes back.

[Griffiths] A little bit of space for Russell.

Helps on quickly. Connell, 40 yards out,

eases it into the path of Earl who drives towards the box,

-and then massively overhits his cross. -[referee whistle blows]

We wanted to get promoted and have success,

and this is the sort of challenges you get.

We are a second-half team.

Wrexham need something desperately

to go in their favor in this match.

Burton's about to take the kick. He knocks it long. Ooh.

Something didn't go right in that.

Burton looks like he's in some pain.

Yeah, I seen it after that kick.

Ball forwards, Palmer again.

Does a good job defensively to get his head to it,

- and then when it drops loose... -Push.

...battles to win it back.

No foul given as he goes to ground.

Good cross. Burton manages to nudge it away.

And O'Connell drills a shot, but puts it over from the edge of the area.

No, this doesn't look good.

Callum Burton's on the pitch.

I think he's favoring his right thigh.

-[McElhenney] He's hurt. -[Kaitlin] He's hurt?

Yeah. What's that?

-You felt a pop? -Yeah.

Yeah, just give us a minute for assessing.

[Griffiths on PA] And it looks like there could be a change here.

Mark Howard, the 38-year-old, could be coming on.

He's certainly preparing for that.

He has not played a league game for a year.

That's a hell of a blow, isn't it, to lose Burton,

who's done so well since Okonkwo's injury.

[Kevin] Yes, guys, I repeat, we're gonna need a change.

-[distorted] Need a change. Need a change. -[Callum] Fuck.

Okay, now this any Disney fan will recognize as the "all is lost" moment.

So here we are at this place. It's feeling exactly... [sighs]

like the Wealdstone draw in Philadelphia.

Yep, that's the one,

you know, where I gathered everyone that I knew

to introduce them to the magic and the beauty,

but instead bored them to death in a nil-nil draw.

Except much, much worse because the stakes are so high.

By the way, who are we in this story?

[clicks tongue] I think we're the comic relief, like the...

Oh, the teapot and the candelabra.

The teapot was Angela Lansbury.

She's a legend. I'll be the clock.

[McElhenney] Okay, you know, but the clock

was David Ogden Stiers from M#**A#**S#**H. Did you know that?

[Reynolds] I worked with David Ogden Stiers

on Two Guys, A Girl And A Pizza Place.

Really? That sounds like a story.

-I'm gonna save it-- -I feel like I wanna hear that now.

I'm gonna tell you as soon as we stop rolling, Rob.

Just take your time, till Chomp's on.

No, no, just walk straight across.

[Griffiths] So Okonkwo out injured, Burton out injured,

and Mark Howard is back in goal.

[Howard] Obviously as the season developed,

I didn't think I would play any games,

so it's very unfortunate for the two that did get injured,

but I saw it as an opportunity to prove myself again.

[Reynolds] Everything riding on this,

and we're on to our third keeper, 38-year-old Chomp.

The Disney execs are checking their watches. Can't win 'em all.

[McElhenney] Yeah, now that literally is John Landgraf who runs FX,

and he is about to leave and says

"You can't win them all."

And I say to him...

Oh, still plenty of time.

[McElhenney in slow motion] Still plenty of time.

[Griffiths] Danger here. The ball helped on.

Phillips, back to Jaló.

Chance to shoot on the edge of the area.

Beats Brunt and drills it,

and Howard gets a great hand to that.

[McElhenney] How did he save that?

Well, that's a super save by Mark Howard.

Five added minutes. A winning goal here would be massive.

Okay, so, we get the Disney FC thing.

Trust us, we understand.

And obviously we're having some fun with that,

but in all seriousness, Wrexham is just magic.

I don't know why and I don't know how, but it just keeps happening

for the four years that we've been there

and for the 150 years before that.

Wait, this is that... Wait, this is a happy ending.

Does... Does that... That means we get to play the song.

We get to play the song.

[♪♪ "When You Wish Upon a Star" plays]

[Griffiths] But we're a minute into the added time.

Wrexham just making Barnsley chase the ball.

The Wrexham fans are on their feet

- cheering 'em home. -Come on.

Making Barnsley chase the ball.

Cosgrove thumped on his backside,

as O'Connell changes direction,

surging up the pitch. Neat little ball, and there's space here.

Now, can Rathbone do something? Carries to the edge of the box.
