1
00:00:27,193 --> 00:00:30,405
<i>I work in
the largest prison in the UK.</i>

2
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:35,452
<i>It's a male prison,
category C.</i>

3
00:00:36,786 --> 00:00:39,289
<i>It holds a maximum
of 2,100 prisoners.</i>

4
00:00:42,834 --> 00:00:44,210
<i>I'm actually
a manager there now.</i>

5
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:47,547
<i>I've been there 5 1/2 years.</i>

6
00:00:47,547 --> 00:00:50,884
<i>I used to be a POELT mentor
which was, um,</i>

7
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:53,344
<i>where you introduce,
like, the new starters</i>

8
00:00:53,344 --> 00:00:55,305
{\an8}to the prison,
so I've done loads of tours.

9
00:00:55,305 --> 00:00:56,890
{\an8}So I'll just give you
one of them type of tours.

10
00:01:00,602 --> 00:01:02,979
So we've got a custodial caf,

11
00:01:02,979 --> 00:01:05,231
where you can stop and go
and get some food.

12
00:01:05,231 --> 00:01:07,734
A reception area, which--

13
00:01:07,734 --> 00:01:10,612
the prisoners come off
these GEOAmey buses,

14
00:01:10,612 --> 00:01:12,906
head through reception.

15
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:14,574
Kitchen's here on the left.

16
00:01:14,574 --> 00:01:16,910
Food for over 1,800 prisoners.

17
00:01:18,411 --> 00:01:20,538
You just kind of have
to make yourself aware.

18
00:01:20,538 --> 00:01:22,123
Like, you have to have
trust in your staff,

19
00:01:22,123 --> 00:01:23,917
but also back yourself.

20
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:25,794
Never put yourself
in an unsafe position.

21
00:01:25,794 --> 00:01:27,253
Of course,
we're taught, you know,

22
00:01:27,253 --> 00:01:29,255
how to look after ourselves,
how to protect ourselves.

23
00:01:29,255 --> 00:01:30,757
Use all the tools
that you have--

24
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:33,009
a baton, handcuffs, radio.

25
00:01:33,009 --> 00:01:35,720
Alert staff
whenever you need them.

26
00:01:36,387 --> 00:01:39,265
<i>I found myself being
in this line of work</i>

27
00:01:39,265 --> 00:01:41,601
<i>because I'm not
the type of person that can</i>

28
00:01:41,601 --> 00:01:43,728
<i>sit still or sit in an office.</i>

29
00:01:43,728 --> 00:01:45,438
{\an8}<i>It's so hands-on.</i>

30
00:01:45,438 --> 00:01:47,232
<i>You're kind of free
to be yourself.</i>

31
00:01:47,232 --> 00:01:49,109
That's where I flex.

32
00:01:50,443 --> 00:01:52,403
Like this.

33
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:56,032
<i>And it's a people's business,
at the end of the day.</i>

34
00:01:56,032 --> 00:01:57,325
You know,
you're working with people.

35
00:02:00,036 --> 00:02:03,123
<i>We're--we're there
as parents, as teachers,</i>

36
00:02:03,123 --> 00:02:05,125
<i>as health care, firefighters.</i>

37
00:02:05,125 --> 00:02:07,168
It's an emergency service job.

38
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:12,298
Oh, I follow you.

39
00:02:12,298 --> 00:02:14,092
I feel proud every day
to put the uniform on,

40
00:02:14,092 --> 00:02:15,176
to clip the belt on.

41
00:02:18,596 --> 00:02:21,558
<i>The job that I do
is difficult.</i>

42
00:02:21,558 --> 00:02:22,725
<i>It's emotionally straining.</i>

43
00:02:22,725 --> 00:02:26,020
It's hard work,
but it's also rewarding.

44
00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:28,106
I've had family members
that have been in prison.

45
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:32,902
<i>I grew--grew up
going to visit prisons.</i>

46
00:02:32,902 --> 00:02:35,613
<i>I've seen my sister in prison,
my brother,</i>

47
00:02:35,613 --> 00:02:38,074
<i>you know,
so it wasn't new to me.</i>

48
00:02:38,074 --> 00:02:39,784
Um, and I know
they're just humans,

49
00:02:39,784 --> 00:02:41,494
at the end of the day.

50
00:02:41,494 --> 00:02:44,372
So it's easy for me
to, you know, be there.

51
00:02:44,372 --> 00:02:47,000
No, I don't think so.
I think we're pretty much...

52
00:02:51,963 --> 00:02:55,758
<i>Hello, everyone.
Welcome to Wrexham.</i>

53
00:02:55,758 --> 00:02:58,052
<i>And wow, what an occasion
we've got here.</i>

54
00:02:58,052 --> 00:03:01,181
<i>Wrexham playing
at the Racecourse.</i>

55
00:03:01,181 --> 00:03:03,183
<i>The atmosphere here
is fantastic.</i>

56
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:05,643
<i>The crowds are wonderful.</i>

57
00:03:05,643 --> 00:03:07,896
- Let's go, Wrexham!
- Up Wrexham!

58
00:03:15,904 --> 00:03:18,156
Come on, Jonesy.
Come on!

59
00:03:20,575 --> 00:03:23,411
<i>One thing that a lot of
people don't know and realize</i>

60
00:03:23,411 --> 00:03:27,123
is that the number one
goal scorer for Wrexham

61
00:03:27,123 --> 00:03:29,167
is not Paul Mullin.

62
00:03:29,167 --> 00:03:31,294
<i>It's not Ollie Palmer.
It's not Elliot Lee.</i>

63
00:03:31,294 --> 00:03:33,129
It's not Sam Dalby.

64
00:03:33,129 --> 00:03:34,631
It's Rosie Hughes.

65
00:03:36,382 --> 00:03:38,593
<i>Clears it now.
White is on the chase.</i>

66
00:03:38,593 --> 00:03:39,969
<i>Will she get there first?
Yes, she does.</i>

67
00:03:39,969 --> 00:03:41,512
<i>She knocks it past the player.</i>

68
00:03:41,512 --> 00:03:43,598
<i>Hughes now up against
the last defender with White,</i>

69
00:03:43,598 --> 00:03:45,350
<i>and it's a first one-on-one.</i>

70
00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:49,479
<i>Hughes passed,
and Hughes got a goal!</i>

71
00:03:54,359 --> 00:03:55,985
<i>Wrexham take the lead.</i>

72
00:03:55,985 --> 00:03:57,654
It had to be Rosie Hughes.

73
00:03:57,654 --> 00:03:58,947

00:07:16,811 --> 00:07:19,188
Wrexham, Wrexham, Wrexham!

155
00:07:19,188 --> 00:07:21,274
<i>That's--that's just the thing.</i>

156
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:24,777
{\an8}The Wrexham women's home games
are not at the Racecourse.

157
00:07:24,777 --> 00:07:26,904
<i>We're here in Rhos,
one of the satellite towns</i>

158
00:07:26,904 --> 00:07:29,073
<i>just outside Wrexham.</i>

159
00:07:29,073 --> 00:07:31,826
<i>We play at
Rhos Aelwyd's grounds.</i>

160
00:07:31,826 --> 00:07:34,412
<i>We have one small stand,</i>

161
00:07:34,412 --> 00:07:36,330
which actually isn't open
to the public.

162
00:07:36,330 --> 00:07:37,582
<i>There's no bleachers.</i>

163
00:07:37,582 --> 00:07:39,459
<i>It's just people
with a metal barrier</i>

164
00:07:39,459 --> 00:07:41,502
<i>around the pitch leaning on it
and watching it.</i>

165
00:07:41,502 --> 00:07:43,504
<i>Must be
a couple of hundred here,</i>

166
00:07:43,504 --> 00:07:46,174
<i>but this is growth.</i>

167
00:07:46,174 --> 00:07:48,176
That's all right.
That's okay.

168
00:07:48,176 --> 00:07:49,969
<i>It's all about
the knock-on effect, really.</i>

169
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:52,263
<i>It's--you know, with the men's
team winning yesterday,</i>

170
00:07:52,263 --> 00:07:55,516
{\an8}um, I think a few more are
starting to become interested

171
00:07:55,516 --> 00:07:57,268
{\an8}in the women's side as well,
which is--

172
00:07:57,268 --> 00:07:59,228
{\an8}which can only benefit,
you know, the girls.

173
00:07:59,228 --> 00:08:01,689
They want--
they want supporters here to--

174
00:08:01,689 --> 00:08:03,858
<i>you know, to be here and--</i>

175
00:08:03,858 --> 00:08:06,027
<i>and encourage them
and support them.</i>

176
00:08:06,027 --> 00:08:08,362
<i>So we're on the start
of--of what is</i>

177
00:08:08,362 --> 00:08:12,366
a really, really exciting
journey for them, I think.

178
00:08:12,366 --> 00:08:15,369
Go on. Go on, Rosie.

179
00:08:15,369 --> 00:08:17,371
Yes!
Come on, Rosie!

180
00:08:23,544 --> 00:08:25,213
Whoo!

181
00:08:25,213 --> 00:08:28,174
- Yes!
- Yeah, Rosie!

182
00:08:28,174 --> 00:08:30,009
That's the way to end a half.

183
00:08:30,009 --> 00:08:32,386
<i>We didn't know that there was
a women's team in Wrexham</i>

184
00:08:32,386 --> 00:08:34,055
until we took
stewardship of the club

185
00:08:34,055 --> 00:08:37,141
and recognized that there was
a program that was in place.

186
00:08:37,141 --> 00:08:39,602
<i>And they, just like the men,</i>

187
00:08:39,602 --> 00:08:43,147
<i>need to win the league
to get promoted up</i>

188
00:08:43,147 --> 00:08:45,525
and out and into
the professional ranks.

189
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,487
<i>The club is a group
of different teams,</i>

190
00:08:49,487 --> 00:08:50,905
{\an8}<i>from the powerchair team</i>

191
00:08:50,905 --> 00:08:52,698
{\an8}<i>to a seven-a-side team,</i>

192
00:08:52,698 --> 00:08:55,409
{\an8}<i>you know, to the youth teams
and the girls teams.</i>

193
00:08:55,409 --> 00:08:58,746
So the women's team is
as much a part of the club.

194
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:02,083
<i>We play on a nice,
lovely pitch.</i>

195
00:09:02,083 --> 00:09:03,417
I say lovely.

196
00:09:03,417 --> 00:09:05,169
<i>I use that term quite loosely.</i>

197
00:09:06,587 --> 00:09:08,714
On certain days,
it's not the nicest place--

198
00:09:08,714 --> 00:09:10,967
Place to be.

199
00:09:10,967 --> 00:09:12,802
<i>Yeah, we try not to--we do--</i>

200
00:09:12,802 --> 00:09:13,886
I was gonna say
we don't complain.

201
00:09:13,886 --> 00:09:15,221
We do complain.

202
00:09:15,221 --> 00:09:17,181
<i>Um, we all do it
because we love football,</i>

203
00:09:17,181 --> 00:09:19,392
<i>and because we love
the club that is Wrexham.</i>

204
00:09:19,392 --> 00:09:22,395
And I think you can see that
when you come to games.

205
00:09:22,395 --> 00:09:24,188
We don't just turn up
for a laugh.

206
00:09:24,188 --> 00:09:26,399
We turn up and we take it
quite seriously,

207
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:29,527
because we know the importance
of wearing that badge.

208
00:09:30,820 --> 00:09:31,988
Oh!

209
00:09:34,115 --> 00:09:35,700
Wow.

210
00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:37,076
Was that Lili?

211
00:09:37,076 --> 00:09:38,828
{\an8}- Lili, yeah.
- Whoo!

212
00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:41,205
{\an8}And with that
dominant 5-2 win,</i>

213
00:09:41,205 --> 00:09:43,457
{\an8}<i>the Wrexham women sit
first in the league,</i>

214
00:09:43,457 --> 00:09:44,584
<i>neck and neck with</i>

215
00:09:44,584 --> 00:09:45,835
<i>the only other undefeated</i>

216
00:09:45,835 --> 00:09:47,420
<i>team, Connah's Quay Nomads,</i>

217
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:48,754
<i>who aim to spoil Wrexham's</i>

218
00:09:48,754 --> 00:09:50,423
<i>chances at promotion.</i>

219
00:09:51,882 --> 00:09:52,967
This way?

220
00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:56,470
Ladies!

221
00:09:56,470 --> 00:09:58,889
That was absolutely amazing.

222
00:09:58,889 --> 00:10:00,975
Wow. Wow.

223
00:10:00,975 --> 00:10:03,352
That was my first game,
and I've seen you guys win

224
00:10:03,352 --> 00:10:04,937
as many times
as I've seen the men win.

225
00:10:06,022 --> 00:10:07,565
We definitely need to work on

226
00:10:07,565 --> 00:10:08,941
drainage on that pitch.

227
00:10:08,941 --> 00:10:11,527
And maybe new washing machines,
because I don't know

228
00:10:11,527 --> 00:10:14,071
how you're gonna--
how we're gonna--look at that!

229
00:10:15,406 --> 00:10:17,199
That's amazing.
Well, congratulations.

230
00:10:17,199 --> 00:10:18,701
Thank you for having me.

231
00:10:18,701 --> 00:10:21,996
And, um, Ryan and I have been
talking quite a bit about

232
00:10:21,996 --> 00:10:25,041
how we want to prioritize
this program.

233
00:10:25,041 --> 00:10:28,544
And for so many reasons
in the past, it hasn't been.

234
00:10:28,544 --> 00:10:29,795
You're all
very important to us,

235
00:10:29,795 --> 00:10:31,672
and we want to continue
to support you.

236
00:10:31,672 --> 00:10:33,966
And if you keep winning,
it makes it a lot easier.

237
00:10:33,966 --> 00:10:35,885
So thank you.

238
00:10:35,885 --> 00:10:37,178
More goals next time.

239
00:10:37,178 --> 00:10:38,888
Next time.

240
00:10:38,888 --> 00:10:41,140
I came here for a hat trick,
and I don't know--

241
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:42,433
It was great.

242
00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:44,101
It was fantastic.
Thank you.

243
00:10:45,686 --> 00:10:47,480
<i>Last year, both
the men's and women's teams</i>

244
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,607
<i>very narrowly missed out
on promotion.</i>

245
00:10:49,607 --> 00:10:51,942
This year, things are looking
a little brighter.

246
00:10:52,860 --> 00:10:55,112
<i>Right now, our women's team
is an amateur side.</i>

247
00:10:55,112 --> 00:10:56,656
<i>None of the players get paid.</i>

248
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:57,740
<i>If the women win</i>

249
00:10:57,740 --> 00:10:58,908
<i>the Adran North League,</i>

250
00:10:58,908 --> 00:10:59,992
<i>they will then go into</i>

251
00:10:59,992 --> 00:11:01,077
<i>a playoff against the winner</i>

252
00:11:01,077 --> 00:11:02,328
<i>of the Adran South League,</i>

253
00:11:02,328 --> 00:11:03,579
<i>and the winner of that will be</i>

254
00:11:03,579 --> 00:11:05,164
<i>promoted to the Adran Premier.</i>

255
00:11:05,164 --> 00:11:06,332
<i>If that's the case,</i>

256
00:11:06,332 --> 00:11:07,875
then we have grand plans

257
00:11:07,875 --> 00:11:09,960
that involve going
to a semi-professional status,

258
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:11,337
which means paying the players.

259
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:12,672
I'm just giving you
a hard time.

260
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:13,881
Congratulations.

261
00:11:13,881 --> 00:11:15,091
Yeah. Thank you.
- It was great.

262
00:11:15,091 --> 00:11:16,676
<i>I don't necessarily
even just think</i>

263
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:18,636
<i>it's an ethical responsibility
to do something like that.</i>

264
00:11:18,636 --> 00:11:22,223
I think that there is a massive
business to be created there.

265
00:11:23,099 --> 00:11:24,517
Wow, this is cra--

266
00:11:24,517 --> 00:11:26,769
I can't believe
you played in this.

267
00:11:26,769 --> 00:11:28,896
Yeah.
There's so much to do there.

268
00:11:28,896 --> 00:11:31,107
Which is great, you know.
It's daunting, too, for us.

269
00:11:31,107 --> 00:11:33,109
It's like, for us
to cultivate and grow

270
00:11:33,109 --> 00:11:34,985
that business as well
is gonna be

271
00:11:34,985 --> 00:11:37,363
a real privilege and fun,
but, you know,

272
00:11:37,363 --> 00:11:39,740
<i>we've got a long road ahead.</i>

273
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:42,034
<i>For us as players,
all we can do is</i>

274
00:11:42,034 --> 00:11:43,786
put out really good
performances on the pitch

275
00:11:43,786 --> 00:11:45,246
and just keep winning.

276
00:11:45,246 --> 00:11:47,748
<i>Prove you're worth watching,
you're worth following.</i>

277
00:11:47,748 --> 00:11:50,126
<i>You know, prove to us
your--your worth,</i>

278
00:11:50,126 --> 00:11:52,044
<i>because that's how
we get more attention.</i>

279
00:11:52,044 --> 00:11:54,505
That's how, you know,
we bring more success

280
00:11:54,505 --> 00:11:56,799
not just to the women's game,
but to football

281
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:58,217
<i>as a whole for Wrexham,</i>

282
00:11:58,217 --> 00:12:01,512
<i>and I think that's all
we need to focus on.</i>

283
00:12:11,814 --> 00:12:13,274
<i>I'm 17,</i>

284
00:12:13,274 --> 00:12:16,694
<i>and I'm in school
9:00 till 3:30 most days.</i>

285
00:12:17,903 --> 00:12:19,447
<i>Tuesdays and Thursdays,
I'm at work.</i>

286
00:12:19,447 --> 00:12:20,656
<i>So I work 5:00 till 11:00.</i>

287
00:12:20,656 --> 00:12:22,116
So yeah.

288
00:12:22,116 --> 00:12:23,951
No time
for anything else, really.

289
00:12:25,119 --> 00:12:26,829
Rob's cleaned up
from the other tea.

290
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:28,205
Thank you. You can follow--

291
00:12:32,084 --> 00:12:34,670
It's actually vile, innit?

292
00:12:34,670 --> 00:12:37,298
<i>I'm a kitchen porter.</i>

293
00:12:37,298 --> 00:12:39,133
<i>Probably one of the hardest</i>

294
00:12:39,133 --> 00:12:41,385
<i>and most humbling jobs
you'll ever do.</i>

295
00:12:41,385 --> 00:12:44,722
The six hours goes quite fast
when you're bent over a sink.

296
00:12:44,722 --> 00:12:46,015
This is hot off the kettle.

297
00:12:46,015 --> 00:12:47,141
How the fuck am I
gonna get that off?

298
00:12:50,102 --> 00:12:51,979
<i>We do ask a lot
of these players,</i>

299
00:12:51,979 --> 00:12:53,481
<i>considering they are
amateur players.</i>

300
00:12:53,481 --> 00:12:54,815
They're not professional.

301
00:12:54,815 --> 00:12:56,734
They're not on contracts
in any way, shape, or form.

302
00:12:56,734 --> 00:13:01,030
<i>So we play football
on top of a working day.</i>

303
00:13:01,030 --> 00:13:02,156
Chilling.

304
00:13:02,156 --> 00:13:03,616
Are you coming on Sunday,
or what?

305
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:05,493
No, I'm not.
- Why?

306
00:13:05,493 --> 00:13:07,036
I'm busy.
- You're busy?

307
00:13:07,036 --> 00:13:08,913
All right. Fucking hell.

308
00:13:08,913 --> 00:13:10,873
<i>And it is tough trying
to balance everything out,</i>

309
00:13:10,873 --> 00:13:13,375
but end of the day,
it's what's got to be done.

310
00:13:13,375 --> 00:13:14,710
Everyone else has got to do it,

311
00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:16,712
so I'll do it as well,
do you know what I mean?

312
00:13:16,712 --> 00:13:17,797
Yeah.

313
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,887
Stop looking at me.

314
00:13:24,887 --> 00:13:26,514
<i>Does it feel like
it's like a dream?</i>

315
00:13:26,514 --> 00:13:29,517
You know, first you're, like,
playing your dream career

316
00:13:29,517 --> 00:13:30,726
in front of loads of people,

317
00:13:30,726 --> 00:13:32,394
and then next day,
you're cleaning pots.

318
00:13:32,394 --> 00:13:34,021
I know. It's mad, innit?

319
00:13:34,855 --> 00:13:36,023
And do you enjoy it?

320
00:13:36,023 --> 00:13:37,650
- What, working or playing?
- Playing.

321
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:38,901
Oh, I love it.

322
00:13:38,901 --> 00:13:40,444
It's--I live and breathe
for it.

323
00:13:40,444 --> 00:13:43,155
I, like--yeah,
I love every second of it.

324
00:13:43,155 --> 00:13:46,283
But--you know?

325
00:13:46,283 --> 00:13:48,035
I'm just telling her
that when she's famous,

326
00:13:48,035 --> 00:13:49,495
she needs to come in.

327
00:13:49,495 --> 00:13:50,830
When I'm famous.

328
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:52,456
We'll see. Yeah.

329
00:13:52,456 --> 00:13:53,874
Do you reckon?
Yeah.

330
00:13:53,874 --> 00:13:55,000
I think you're a good footballer.

331
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,085
Do you reckon?

332
00:13:56,085 --> 00:13:58,462
I've read about you.

333
00:14:00,548 --> 00:14:03,676
<i>Started playing football
at around six years old.</i>

334
00:14:03,676 --> 00:14:05,678
<i>Obviously there weren't
many girls teams around</i>

335
00:14:05,678 --> 00:14:08,430
at that time,
so my dad threw me in with--

336
00:14:08,430 --> 00:14:10,015
with the under-six lads team,

337
00:14:10,015 --> 00:14:12,309
<i>which was a bit daunting
at the time.</i>

338
00:14:12,309 --> 00:14:14,353
<i>My dad always used to tell me,
"Get involved, get involved."</i>

339
00:14:14,353 --> 00:14:16,063
And eventually I did.

340
00:14:16,063 --> 00:14:17,940
I was probably the best player
on the team at the time.

341
00:14:20,484 --> 00:14:24,864
{\an8}<i>About age 13, I got scouted
to play for Everton.</i>

342
00:14:24,864 --> 00:14:26,699
{\an8}<i>Spent a couple
of seasons there,</i>

343
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:28,701
{\an8}<i>um, which I absolutely loved.</i>

344
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:32,121
{\an8}Playing against big opposition
like Man City, Chelsea.

345
00:14:32,121 --> 00:14:35,291
<i>I was then drafted in,
then, with the Welsh squad.</i>

346
00:14:35,291 --> 00:14:37,751
<i>I played at that level
at 15s and 17s,</i>

347
00:14:37,751 --> 00:14:40,129
which was an unreal experience,
playing in countries

348
00:14:40,129 --> 00:14:42,298
like Sweden, Portugal.

349
00:14:42,298 --> 00:14:44,174
And then I returned,
then, back--

350
00:14:44,174 --> 00:14:46,844
back playing for Wrexham,
where I'm at now, and...

351
00:14:50,973 --> 00:14:52,850
I probably would have stayed
at Everton a bit longer

352
00:14:52,850 --> 00:14:54,435
if I hadn't lost my dad.

353
00:14:54,435 --> 00:14:58,230
Um, he struggled
with mental health

354
00:14:58,230 --> 00:14:59,607
<i>and anxiety, depression.</i>

355
00:14:59,607 --> 00:15:01,650
<i>Um, people knew
he was going through it.</i>

356
00:15:01,650 --> 00:15:02,985
<i>I guess we just didn't know</i>

357
00:15:02,985 --> 00:15:04,528
<i>how much it really was
affecting him.</i>

358
00:15:04,528 --> 00:15:06,655
<i>We knew it was getting bad,
but that was a cycle</i>

359
00:15:06,655 --> 00:15:08,324
<i>we'd dealt with a lot.</i>

360
00:15:08,324 --> 00:15:12,161
<i>My dad took his own life, um,
18th of April, I think, 2021.</i>

361
00:15:13,996 --> 00:15:16,206
<i>Lili's gone through
quite a difficult period</i>

362
00:15:16,206 --> 00:15:18,250
in her life
at such a young age.

363
00:15:18,250 --> 00:15:20,920
<i>Now, her dad, like--like mine,</i>

364
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,088
<i>is the reason why
she comes to watch Wrexham,</i>

365
00:15:23,088 --> 00:15:25,424
why she's the fan that she is.

366
00:15:25,424 --> 00:15:28,344
<i>Yeah, he was a massive
fan of the club as well.</i>

367
00:15:28,344 --> 00:15:31,388
Some of--he used to make
these stupid videos,

368
00:15:31,388 --> 00:15:32,723
trying to--trying to catch

369
00:15:32,723 --> 00:15:34,350
Rob and Ryan's attention
all the time.

370
00:15:34,350 --> 00:15:36,977
<i>Um...</i>

371
00:15:36,977 --> 00:15:41,857
I'm here with,
um, my daughter Lili,

372
00:15:41,857 --> 00:15:46,028
uh, who's also played

373
00:15:46,028 --> 00:15:49,615
for Wrexham girls.

374
00:15:49,615 --> 00:15:50,699
Yeah.

375
00:15:50,699 --> 00:15:52,493
Her dad was--was absolutely--

376
00:15:52,493 --> 00:15:54,453
what an incredible man
her dad was.

377
00:15:54,453 --> 00:15:57,081
And, you know, we knew her dad
really, really well.

378
00:16:00,084 --> 00:16:04,046
He was a massive character,
and everyone seems to know him,

379
00:16:04,046 --> 00:16:05,881
and everyone seems to have
a story about him,

380
00:16:05,881 --> 00:16:07,716
which--which is
very comforting.

381
00:16:07,716 --> 00:16:09,885
<i>I do feel like he's still
with us all the time.</i>

382
00:16:09,885 --> 00:16:12,096
<i>He's at my football games, watching.</i>

383
00:16:12,096 --> 00:16:14,556
<i>The flag we designed
after--after he passed.</i>

384
00:16:14,556 --> 00:16:16,642
<i>Every time I step on the pitch
and every time I step off</i>

385
00:16:16,642 --> 00:16:18,477
<i>is, would I have made
my dad proud?</i>

386
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:20,270
<i>What would my dad
think of this?</i>

387
00:16:20,270 --> 00:16:23,649
And what he'd say and what he'd
think of my performance, so...

388
00:16:28,904 --> 00:16:33,033
{\an8}♪ He ordered
a medium doner kebab ♪</i>

389
00:16:33,033 --> 00:16:36,078
<i>She is Wrexham,
just like I feel that I am.</i>

390
00:16:36,078 --> 00:16:40,374
<i>And, you know, for her to pull
on a Wrexham kit every week</i>

391
00:16:40,374 --> 00:16:42,960
<i>means the--
means the world to her.</i>

392
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,336
<i>You know, if she's here</i>

393
00:16:44,336 --> 00:16:46,088
<i>and she helps us
gain promotion,</i>

394
00:16:46,088 --> 00:16:48,173
it would be pretty special
for her, I would say.

395
00:16:48,173 --> 00:16:50,592
And, you know, probably
more so than if it was

396
00:16:50,592 --> 00:16:53,554
any other club that she might
have been playing for.

397
00:16:53,554 --> 00:16:55,222
<i>Almost since he's gone,
I've fell in love</i>

398
00:16:55,222 --> 00:16:56,557
<i>with the club even more.</i>

399
00:16:56,557 --> 00:16:57,683
<i>I honestly don't know
where I'd be</i>

400
00:16:57,683 --> 00:16:59,143
<i>if I didn't have that support</i>

401
00:16:59,143 --> 00:17:00,853
<i>and the people around the club</i>

402
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:02,354
<i>who are there for me
all the time.</i>

403
00:17:02,354 --> 00:17:06,150
I took his love--
love on for it, really.

404
00:17:12,072 --> 00:17:14,658
Wrexham!

405
00:17:14,658 --> 00:17:16,869
Knackered now.

406
00:17:24,793 --> 00:17:27,171
<i>You know,
football has, strangely,</i>

407
00:17:27,171 --> 00:17:29,381
<i>always been seen
as a boys' sport,</i>

408
00:17:29,381 --> 00:17:33,052
um, even though
the women's game was--

409
00:17:33,052 --> 00:17:35,679
was much, much, much bigger
than the men's game.

410
00:17:35,679 --> 00:17:37,347
So I think it's important
to have some context

411
00:17:37,347 --> 00:17:38,557
around women's football.

412
00:17:38,557 --> 00:17:40,851
Because, you know,
we've seen it of late.

413
00:17:40,851 --> 00:17:42,895
There's been this huge
increase in interest.

414
00:17:42,895 --> 00:17:44,396
England won the Euros.

415
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:46,607
You know, the women's game
in the U.S. is really big.

416
00:17:46,607 --> 00:17:48,233
But for a long time,
women's football

417
00:17:48,233 --> 00:17:49,359
has been in the wilderness.

418
00:17:50,444 --> 00:17:52,696
<i>Right back at its very origins
in the 1880s,</i>

419
00:17:52,696 --> 00:17:56,492
<i>there were big teams that drew
massive crowds across the UK</i>

420
00:17:56,492 --> 00:17:59,369
<i>and even internationally.</i>

421
00:17:59,369 --> 00:18:01,163
<i>Women's football got
a real shot in the arm</i>

422
00:18:01,163 --> 00:18:02,498
<i>during the First World War.</i>

423
00:18:02,498 --> 00:18:04,333
<i>With all of the men away
fighting in the trenches</i>

424
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:06,835
<i>on the western front,
women's football was really</i>

425
00:18:06,835 --> 00:18:08,128
<i>kind of the only game in town.</i>

426
00:18:08,128 --> 00:18:09,630
<i>And even when
the men returned home,</i>

427
00:18:09,630 --> 00:18:11,173
<i>the women's game still
remained enormously popular.</i>

428
00:18:11,173 --> 00:18:14,510
<i>On December 26, 1920,
53,000 people turned out</i>

429
00:18:14,510 --> 00:18:16,261
<i>to watch a women's game.</i>

430
00:18:16,261 --> 00:18:19,264
That is a crowd we can
only dream of at Wrexham

431
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:21,433
these days, um, and speaks

432
00:18:21,433 --> 00:18:23,685
to the enormous
popularity of it.

433
00:18:23,685 --> 00:18:25,187
<i>In fact, it was so popular
that it was deemed</i>

434
00:18:25,187 --> 00:18:26,688
<i>to be a threat
to the men's game,</i>

435
00:18:26,688 --> 00:18:29,775
<i>and the FA took the step
in the following year, 1921,</i>

436
00:18:29,775 --> 00:18:31,610
<i>to ban all women
from playing football,</i>

437
00:18:31,610 --> 00:18:34,822
<i>saying, "The game of football
is unsuitable for females</i>

438
00:18:34,822 --> 00:18:37,032
<i>and ought not
to be encouraged."</i>

439
00:18:37,032 --> 00:18:39,243
<i>And they in fact banned
women's football</i>

440
00:18:39,243 --> 00:18:40,744
<i>until the 1970s.</i>

441
00:18:40,744 --> 00:18:43,330
<i>So women's football
was banned until 1971,</i>

442
00:18:43,330 --> 00:18:45,165
<i>but a female football
committee at the FA</i>

443
00:18:45,165 --> 00:18:47,417
<i>was not set up until 1993.</i>

444
00:18:47,417 --> 00:18:50,254
And thank goodness it was,
because without that,

445
00:18:50,254 --> 00:18:52,589
you wouldn't be seeing
all the many manifold triumphs

446
00:18:52,589 --> 00:18:54,133
of women's football today.

447
00:19:07,771 --> 00:19:09,481
<i>Of course we want
to be a part of that,</i>

448
00:19:09,481 --> 00:19:13,152
<i>and it's definitely
a long road ahead,</i>

449
00:19:13,152 --> 00:19:14,820
<i>but it's worth it.</i>

450
00:19:14,820 --> 00:19:17,239
{\an8}Rob and Ryan, of course,
they're supporting us.</i>

451
00:19:17,239 --> 00:19:19,032
{\an8}And Blake, she obviously,

452
00:19:19,032 --> 00:19:20,868
{\an8}um, sponsors our team as well.

453
00:19:20,868 --> 00:19:22,411
When I first started
Betty Buzz,

454
00:19:22,411 --> 00:19:24,121
I set out to create
the best-tasting

455
00:19:24,121 --> 00:19:25,372
sparkling drink out there.

456
00:19:29,334 --> 00:19:30,961
It's pretty special
that they are

457
00:19:30,961 --> 00:19:32,629
supporting us in that way.

458
00:19:32,629 --> 00:19:35,757
And, you know, that makes us,
as a team and as a section,

459
00:19:35,757 --> 00:19:38,677
feel--feel very, very much
part of the club.

460
00:19:41,972 --> 00:19:44,683
{\an8}Gemma is the beating heart
of the entire--

461
00:19:44,683 --> 00:19:45,976
the entire club.

462
00:19:45,976 --> 00:19:48,061
<i>I'd say Gemma's heart extends</i>

463
00:19:48,061 --> 00:19:50,606
into the Wrexham
AFC men's club too.

464
00:19:50,606 --> 00:19:53,108
She's putting her last drop
of blood into this--

465
00:19:53,108 --> 00:19:54,902
this--this team and--

466
00:19:54,902 --> 00:19:56,403
and building it and growing it.

467
00:19:56,403 --> 00:19:57,821
It's gonna be incredible.

468
00:19:57,821 --> 00:19:59,948
I'm really, really
excited about it.

469
00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:04,077
<i>I oversee
the entire women's</i>

470
00:20:04,077 --> 00:20:05,621
<i>and girls section at the club.</i>

471
00:20:05,621 --> 00:20:09,708
<i>So that's all the way
from our little under-eights</i>

472
00:20:09,708 --> 00:20:12,169
all the way up
to our senior women's team,

473
00:20:12,169 --> 00:20:15,214
and organizing everything
in between, basically.

474
00:20:17,007 --> 00:20:18,675
<i>I'm born and bred Wrexham.</i>

475
00:20:18,675 --> 00:20:20,302
<i>Always had a football
by my feet.</i>

476
00:20:20,302 --> 00:20:22,971
<i>Um, I've never really been
a girly-girl, if I'm honest.</i>

477
00:20:22,971 --> 00:20:25,557
<i>Um, yeah, I grew up with,</i>

478
00:20:25,557 --> 00:20:27,017
<i>you know,
going on the football field</i>

479
00:20:27,017 --> 00:20:29,519
<i>with the kids
that lived locally.</i>

480
00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:31,271
There might have been
me and one other girl,

481
00:20:31,271 --> 00:20:33,232
and then the rest of them
were all boys.

482
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:36,068
And that's--that--
yeah, that was me.

483
00:20:36,068 --> 00:20:37,694
I loved it.

484
00:20:37,694 --> 00:20:40,239
<i>My husband's Gareth Owen,
one of the best midfielders</i>

485
00:20:40,239 --> 00:20:42,199
<i>we've had at the club.</i>

486
00:20:42,199 --> 00:20:45,994
<i>His main sort of time period
was the '90s.</i>

487
00:20:45,994 --> 00:20:47,496
<i>I grew up watching him, yeah,</i>

488
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:50,540
<i>which was quite strange,
you know, going back to</i>

489
00:20:50,540 --> 00:20:52,834
<i>when you used to stand
at the side of the pitch</i>

490
00:20:52,834 --> 00:20:54,294
<i>and high-fiving players.</i>

491
00:20:54,294 --> 00:20:55,796
Yeah, that was--
he was one of them,

492
00:20:55,796 --> 00:20:57,881
which is a little bit weird, but...

493
00:20:57,881 --> 00:21:01,260
<i>he is now
the under-19's manager</i>

494
00:21:01,260 --> 00:21:03,762
with our women's side as well.

495
00:21:03,762 --> 00:21:05,681
I try and learn as much
as I can off him,

496
00:21:05,681 --> 00:21:07,516
and--yeah, he's--he's great.

497
00:21:07,516 --> 00:21:09,810
He's--he's playing a big part,
at the moment,

498
00:21:09,810 --> 00:21:11,979
<i>in the growth
of our women's side as well.</i>

499
00:21:11,979 --> 00:21:14,356
We will not be putting you
up front again.

500
00:21:14,356 --> 00:21:16,608
No, Gem, listen!
Full-size--oh, my--

501
00:21:18,026 --> 00:21:21,405
Gemma Owen,
head of all female...

502
00:21:21,405 --> 00:21:23,115
everything that goes on
at Wrexham.

503
00:21:23,115 --> 00:21:24,324
No! Next one.

504
00:21:24,324 --> 00:21:26,076
Come on, Grace.
It's got to be you.

505
00:21:26,076 --> 00:21:27,828
<i>I don't think
football for women</i>

506
00:21:27,828 --> 00:21:30,414
<i>would be as big as it is in
Wrexham if it wasn't for her.</i>

507
00:21:30,414 --> 00:21:34,501
So North Wales can basically
thank Gemma Owen for that.

508
00:21:34,501 --> 00:21:36,253
Oh, oh! Oh!

509
00:21:36,253 --> 00:21:38,297
Oh, oh!

510
00:21:38,297 --> 00:21:41,341
<i>I'm trying to give
as many girls and women</i>

511
00:21:41,341 --> 00:21:44,261
the opportunity to get
involved with what I think is

512
00:21:44,261 --> 00:21:45,721
the best sport in the world.

513
00:21:46,930 --> 00:21:50,475
<i>And being in amongst the club
that I have been supporting</i>

514
00:21:50,475 --> 00:21:53,478
for my entire life is--

515
00:21:53,478 --> 00:21:54,896
<i>it's a dream.</i>

516
00:21:54,896 --> 00:21:56,440
<i>It is an absolute dream.</i>

517
00:22:03,864 --> 00:22:05,198
{\an8}It's Connah's Quay.

518
00:22:05,198 --> 00:22:07,075
{\an8}They make me nervous.
And they're awful.

519
00:22:07,075 --> 00:22:09,494
{\an8}They're not nice players, either.

520
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:14,166
We're top of the league now,

521
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:16,335
and they're only--
they're second,

522
00:22:16,335 --> 00:22:17,753
<i>but with two points below us.</i>

523
00:22:17,753 --> 00:22:18,879
<i>So obviously, if they win,</i>

524
00:22:18,879 --> 00:22:19,963
<i>they're gonna go back</i>

525
00:22:19,963 --> 00:22:21,506
<i>to the top of the league.</i>

526
00:22:21,506 --> 00:22:22,924
<i>Um...</i>

527
00:22:24,634 --> 00:22:25,927
<i>In the changing rooms, like,</i>

528
00:22:25,927 --> 00:22:27,721
<i>I know, like,
everyone will be nervous.</i>

529
00:22:27,721 --> 00:22:29,181
<i>And it gets to you.</i>

530
00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:30,432
<i>You can either get--
let the pressure get to you,</i>

531
00:22:30,432 --> 00:22:32,017
or you can perform really well.

532
00:22:33,518 --> 00:22:35,354
We used to have these feelings
against Llandudno,

533
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:39,316
because last season, they were
probably our main competitors.

534
00:22:39,316 --> 00:22:41,276
<i>But this season,
it's been Connah's Quay.</i>

535
00:22:41,276 --> 00:22:43,695
<i>So it's 90 minutes, isn't it?</i>

536
00:22:43,695 --> 00:22:45,947
<i>And we all--we can be
better than them.</i>

537
00:22:45,947 --> 00:22:48,700
<i>We can beat any team
if we put our minds to it.</i>

538
00:22:48,700 --> 00:22:52,162
Just have to do the easy ball.
Just play football.

539
00:23:01,963 --> 00:23:04,049
<i>Quite a big game
for us today.</i>

540
00:23:04,049 --> 00:23:05,717
<i>Top of the table clash.</i>

541
00:23:05,717 --> 00:23:07,511
<i>And we've still got to play
them twice in the league.</i>

542
00:23:07,511 --> 00:23:09,930
<i>So, you know, these--
these two games</i>

543
00:23:09,930 --> 00:23:12,974
are gonna be vitally important
to us hopefully,

544
00:23:12,974 --> 00:23:14,935
fingers crossed,
winning the title.

545
00:23:14,935 --> 00:23:17,312
<i>So I think
it'll be a close game.</i>

546
00:23:17,312 --> 00:23:20,982
I don't expect anything other
than it being a close game.

547
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:23,485
Right.

548
00:23:23,485 --> 00:23:25,779
We've said everything
that we need to say, okay?

549
00:23:25,779 --> 00:23:28,657
We don't need to sell it
to you anymore, okay?

550
00:23:28,657 --> 00:23:32,327
It's a game, okay, that we have
to take seriously, okay?

551
00:23:32,327 --> 00:23:33,703
We've got to be aggressive

552
00:23:33,703 --> 00:23:36,039
with and without
the ball today, all right?

553
00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:37,290
So let's make sure
that we get bodies

554
00:23:37,290 --> 00:23:39,209
<i>in and around the box, okay?</i>

555
00:23:39,209 --> 00:23:41,002
<i>Be patient
with each other as well.</i>

556
00:23:41,002 --> 00:23:43,213
Come on, girls.
Yeah. Big fucking 90.

557
00:23:43,213 --> 00:23:44,965
Come on. Come on.

558
00:23:44,965 --> 00:23:46,174
Here they come now.

559
00:23:48,593 --> 00:23:50,512
They look ready.

560
00:23:50,512 --> 00:23:52,264
On your toes, girls!

561
00:23:57,769 --> 00:23:59,771
Yeah, just screen
in front of your toes.

562
00:23:59,771 --> 00:24:01,189
Yes. Through toes.

563
00:24:01,189 --> 00:24:03,233
You can see that we're both
very, very good teams.

564
00:24:05,777 --> 00:24:08,738
And probably deserve to be
in the Welsh Prem, to be fair.

565
00:24:15,996 --> 00:24:18,790
Oh, Connah's Quay!

566
00:24:18,790 --> 00:24:21,710
Is wonderful!

567
00:24:21,710 --> 00:24:23,211
<i>Their coaching staff
are very barky.</i>

568
00:24:23,211 --> 00:24:24,671
<i>The players are very barky.</i>

569
00:24:24,671 --> 00:24:27,340
<i>And a few tough decisions
made against us,</i>

570
00:24:27,340 --> 00:24:31,386
and we have to bark back
louder than that.

571
00:24:33,013 --> 00:24:35,098
Rosie.
Straight in on it, mate.

572
00:24:35,098 --> 00:24:36,224
Straight in on it.

573
00:24:36,224 --> 00:24:38,310
Come on, Wrexham!

574
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:40,729
I think that we managed
to do that.

575
00:24:54,993 --> 00:24:57,496
Get them!
Whoo!

576
00:25:01,458 --> 00:25:03,126
{\an8}Everyone there put
their body on the line.</i>

577
00:25:03,126 --> 00:25:05,754
{\an8}<i>The tackles were--
tackles were being put in,</i>

578
00:25:05,754 --> 00:25:07,422
<i>passes were being made quickly.</i>

579
00:25:07,422 --> 00:25:11,343
<i>And, you know, when one player
was going 10%, we were--</i>

580
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:13,553
<i>10% less, we were just
getting that extra 10%</i>

581
00:25:13,553 --> 00:25:15,722
from somewhere else.

582
00:25:23,230 --> 00:25:26,107
We've got a good--good little
team going, I think.

583
00:25:39,162 --> 00:25:41,748
Go on! Yeah!

584
00:25:41,748 --> 00:25:42,958
<i>Listen in.</i>

585
00:25:42,958 --> 00:25:44,668
<i>Today, I couldn't give a shit</i>

586
00:25:44,668 --> 00:25:46,044
<i>how you win
a game of football.</i>

587
00:25:46,044 --> 00:25:47,712
<i>It's about fucking digging in
and making sure</i>

588
00:25:47,712 --> 00:25:48,880
that we win a game of football.

589
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,423
We fucking enjoy it right now,

590
00:25:50,423 --> 00:25:52,259
and we enjoy it tomorrow
in the gym.

591
00:25:52,259 --> 00:25:54,553
Tuesday, Wednesday,
our fucking heads turn now.

592
00:25:54,553 --> 00:25:56,555
Sunday, we get it
fucking wrapped up.

593
00:25:56,555 --> 00:25:57,847
We win the fucking league

594
00:25:57,847 --> 00:25:59,349
and get everything
we fucking deserve.

595
00:26:04,813 --> 00:26:06,856
<i>Yeah, I'm so proud
of my team.</i>

596
00:26:06,856 --> 00:26:08,984
Proper happy.
Excited, buzzing.

00:26:08,984 --> 00:26:10,485
<i>Feeling amazing.</i>

612
00:26:44,728 --> 00:26:47,188
and I can't wait to do it
again next Sunday.

613
00:26:54,863 --> 00:26:59,117
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the 1864 Suite.

614
00:26:59,117 --> 00:27:00,201
I've got to introduce

615
00:27:00,201 --> 00:27:02,621
our former player guests
for tonight.

616
00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:04,956
Making his Football League
debut for Wrexham

617
00:27:04,956 --> 00:27:09,085
in September 1997, he also won
two Welsh Premier cup medals,

618
00:27:09,085 --> 00:27:11,379
and also played for Wales
at full international.

619
00:27:11,379 --> 00:27:14,049
He is a Wrexham lad.
Neil Roberts, everybody.

620
00:27:22,849 --> 00:27:25,018
Your time at Wrexham, Neil--
what was the highlight for you?

621
00:27:25,018 --> 00:27:26,728
{\an8}You know,
I'm standing here now,

622
00:27:26,728 --> 00:27:29,481
{\an8}and I'm still in awe of Mickey,
sat at the table there,

623
00:27:29,481 --> 00:27:32,150
{\an8}'cause he was
one of my heroes growing up.

624
00:27:32,150 --> 00:27:34,569
More importantly than anything
is having my daughter,

625
00:27:34,569 --> 00:27:36,780
one of my daughters,
here tonight, who represents

626
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:38,448
the women's football team
for Wrexham.

627
00:27:38,448 --> 00:27:39,532
And, uh--

628
00:27:45,246 --> 00:27:47,540
<i>I don't remember
football ever being something</i>

629
00:27:47,540 --> 00:27:49,626
<i>that wasn't part of my life.</i>

630
00:27:49,626 --> 00:27:52,087
As soon as I could walk,
I think I was kicking a ball,

631
00:27:52,087 --> 00:27:54,005
as the cliché goes.

632
00:27:54,005 --> 00:27:57,092
<i>We had Mia when I was--
I was 24.</i>

633
00:27:57,092 --> 00:27:58,593
<i>Came as really no surprise</i>

634
00:27:58,593 --> 00:28:02,180
for her to go down
the footballing route.

635
00:28:04,891 --> 00:28:07,310
{\an8}First time to have
a look through it together.

636
00:28:09,104 --> 00:28:13,566
{\an8}It's basically something
my, um, nana put together to--

637
00:28:13,566 --> 00:28:16,486
for me and my brother
and sister to have to,

638
00:28:16,486 --> 00:28:19,823
you know, look back on
to see your little--

639
00:28:19,823 --> 00:28:21,324
little career.

640
00:28:21,324 --> 00:28:24,994
Um, it captures basically
the last few seasons

641
00:28:24,994 --> 00:28:26,079
of your career, really.

642
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:28,206
Yeah, last couple seasons.

643
00:28:28,206 --> 00:28:32,460
"Local hero Roberts
keeps Dragons in hunt."

644
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:35,755
<i>That season started</i>

645
00:28:35,755 --> 00:28:37,590
<i>on a--on a massive high
for me,</i>

646
00:28:37,590 --> 00:28:39,884
'cause I was captain
of my hometown club.

647
00:28:39,884 --> 00:28:43,471
Um, there was a--there was
a very good squad in place.

648
00:28:44,472 --> 00:28:46,391
<i>And then, unfortunately,
it kind of took</i>

649
00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:47,892
<i>a turn for the worse.</i>

650
00:28:47,892 --> 00:28:50,019
<i>So a couple of players
moved on to--</i>

651
00:28:50,019 --> 00:28:52,647
<i>to what was
better opportunities for them,</i>

652
00:28:52,647 --> 00:28:54,607
and we became
a very young squad.

653
00:28:54,607 --> 00:28:56,276
This is the painful bit.

654
00:28:58,737 --> 00:29:00,196
"End of an era."

655
00:29:01,197 --> 00:29:03,783
{\an8}Yeah. That's me in tears.

656
00:29:03,783 --> 00:29:08,288
See, like, to read that,
it just--

657
00:29:08,288 --> 00:29:10,665
no, it's not--
it breaks my heart.

658
00:29:10,665 --> 00:29:11,791
It breaks my heart.

659
00:29:11,791 --> 00:29:13,585
Um...

660
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:15,420
<i>All right.
Talk about this in a second.</i>

661
00:29:15,420 --> 00:29:17,046
<i>Wrexham are out
of the Football League.</i>

662
00:29:17,046 --> 00:29:20,425
<i>They've lost by 2 goals to 0
this evening at Edgar Street.</i>

663
00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:21,885
<i>Gary Hooper to the first half.</i>

664
00:29:21,885 --> 00:29:23,595
<i>Theo Robinson,
his first goal in six...</i>

665
00:29:23,595 --> 00:29:25,430
<i>It did feel
like a nightmare.</i>

666
00:29:25,430 --> 00:29:27,682
{\an8}<i>And for me personally, it--
it was really tough,</i>

667
00:29:27,682 --> 00:29:29,893
{\an8}'cause I was captain
of the team that--

668
00:29:29,893 --> 00:29:31,227
that got relegated.

669
00:29:31,227 --> 00:29:33,229
So, you know, that was a--
that was a tough pill

670
00:29:33,229 --> 00:29:37,108
to swallow for me, really,
and still is to this day.

671
00:29:37,108 --> 00:29:40,862
<i>My personal take on it
is that it's, um--</i>

672
00:29:40,862 --> 00:29:43,490
<i>it--it did take
a big piece of me.</i>

673
00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:46,034
And I think it caught up
with me in--in later life,

674
00:29:46,034 --> 00:29:48,036
and I became
a little bit distant

675
00:29:48,036 --> 00:29:49,579
and, you know, maybe--

676
00:29:49,579 --> 00:29:52,624
maybe, to a point,
a different person as well.

677
00:29:52,624 --> 00:29:56,044
It's had a massive effect
on my--on my life,

678
00:29:56,044 --> 00:29:58,087
especially from
a family point of view.

679
00:29:58,087 --> 00:30:00,089
It was hard for us
to go out as a family

680
00:30:00,089 --> 00:30:03,384
without being subject
to certain things being said.

681
00:30:03,384 --> 00:30:05,178
Because, you know, obviously,

682
00:30:05,178 --> 00:30:07,013
the club does mean
that much to people.

683
00:30:07,013 --> 00:30:08,765
And that obviously
shouldn't happen.

684
00:30:08,765 --> 00:30:10,600
But you can see
why it does happen,

685
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,937
because if they're gonna put
fault on someone, the captain,

686
00:30:13,937 --> 00:30:16,439
you know, he's--he's well
up there in, you know,

687
00:30:16,439 --> 00:30:18,483
people to--to blame.

688
00:30:18,483 --> 00:30:20,819
Didn't know it was
after 87 years.

689
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:22,821
Mm-hmm. Yeah.

690
00:30:26,241 --> 00:30:29,285
You say all the right
things to make me feel better.

691
00:30:32,914 --> 00:30:36,292
<i>This season, for me, is--
it's more than football.</i>

692
00:30:36,292 --> 00:30:40,004
It might allow me a new--
a new start, in many ways,

693
00:30:40,004 --> 00:30:43,174
and a new--a new chapter

694
00:30:43,174 --> 00:30:45,760
<i>in my life
and my family's life.</i>

695
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,638
<i>You know, that's the one thing
that Rob and Ryan have</i>

696
00:30:48,638 --> 00:30:51,850
<i>given everybody in the town,
is--is belief.</i>

697
00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:55,728
Is belief and a kind of
"dare to dream" sort of thing.

698
00:30:57,146 --> 00:31:00,483
Basically just a summary
and a plan

699
00:31:00,483 --> 00:31:02,026
for--for me to finish this

700
00:31:02,026 --> 00:31:04,070
when Wrexham got back
in the league.

701
00:31:04,070 --> 00:31:05,780
Touch wood.

702
00:31:05,780 --> 00:31:08,449
Hopefully--hopefully we get
to finish it in a few months.

703
00:31:08,449 --> 00:31:11,286
Women's there, men's there.

704
00:31:11,286 --> 00:31:13,580
Let's hope, uh--
let's hope we do it.

705
00:31:13,580 --> 00:31:14,664
Yeah.

706
00:31:14,664 --> 00:31:15,999
But we'll do that together.

707
00:31:15,999 --> 00:31:18,334
Yeah.

708
00:31:18,334 --> 00:31:19,502
All right.

709
00:31:27,594 --> 00:31:29,262
{\an8}How you doing?
You all right?

710
00:31:29,262 --> 00:31:30,930
{\an8}Good to see you.
You all right, mate?

711
00:31:30,930 --> 00:31:33,349
Thank you.
- How are we? Okay?

712
00:31:36,311 --> 00:31:37,979
<i>As the Wrexham men continue</i>

713
00:31:37,979 --> 00:31:40,148
<i>to battle for promotion,
the women's team</i>

714
00:31:40,148 --> 00:31:42,609
<i>is nearing their finish line
with a critical match</i>

715
00:31:42,609 --> 00:31:44,485
<i>this weekend away to Rhyl.</i>

716
00:31:44,485 --> 00:31:47,071
<i>Win this one, and they'll
have won the league</i>

717
00:31:47,071 --> 00:31:49,908
<i>and set themselves up
for a significant promotion</i>

718
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:51,576
<i>up the football pyramid.</i>

719
00:31:52,660 --> 00:31:54,037
<i>The women's team
are coming off the back</i>

720
00:31:54,037 --> 00:31:55,747
<i>of their big win
against Connah's Quay</i>

721
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:57,081
and they're looking
really confident,

722
00:31:57,081 --> 00:31:58,541
as well they should.

723
00:31:58,541 --> 00:32:01,044
If they win this game,
they clinch the league.

724
00:32:02,086 --> 00:32:05,173
The fact that we could
win the league is massive.

725
00:32:05,173 --> 00:32:06,466
<i>That's what
all the girls want.</i>

726
00:32:06,466 --> 00:32:08,593
<i>We want to take this
to the next level,</i>

727
00:32:08,593 --> 00:32:11,387
and we want to make the town
and the owners proud, really.

728
00:32:11,387 --> 00:32:14,682
So we will do whatever it takes
to win that game.

729
00:32:15,642 --> 00:32:17,393
<i>You've got
to give Rhyl credit,</i>

730
00:32:17,393 --> 00:32:18,978
<i>because they held
Connah's Quay,</i>

731
00:32:18,978 --> 00:32:20,647
<i>they held Llandudno,</i>

732
00:32:20,647 --> 00:32:22,398
and only just lost out
2-1 there.

733
00:32:22,398 --> 00:32:23,900
So they're not gonna roll over.

734
00:32:23,900 --> 00:32:25,526
It's not gonna be easy.

735
00:32:25,526 --> 00:32:27,403
<i>We know that we're
going away from home.</i>

736
00:32:27,403 --> 00:32:30,823
And again, like, we've spoke
about that target on our back.

737
00:32:30,823 --> 00:32:32,909
<i>You know, they'll want
to spoil the party, really.</i>

738
00:32:32,909 --> 00:32:35,244
They're not gonna--
they're not gonna enjoy us,

739
00:32:35,244 --> 00:32:37,246
you know, beating them
and celebrating

740
00:32:37,246 --> 00:32:39,082
winning the league
at their place.

741
00:32:39,082 --> 00:32:41,000
I'll try not to look
as ill as I did last week.

742
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,169
Yeah. Oh.

743
00:32:43,169 --> 00:32:44,504
Yeah.

744
00:32:44,504 --> 00:32:46,005
That was
some pressure last week.

745
00:32:46,005 --> 00:32:47,507
The girls did
really well, though.

746
00:32:47,507 --> 00:32:49,258
Because they knew
what was at stake last week.

747
00:32:49,258 --> 00:32:50,593
Yeah.

748
00:32:50,593 --> 00:32:51,928
And just how resilient
they were.

749
00:32:51,928 --> 00:32:53,012
They were brilliant.
Mm-hmm.

750
00:32:53,012 --> 00:32:54,514
They were brilliant. Ah.

751
00:32:54,514 --> 00:32:55,974
Got to get the job done
first, though.

752
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:57,809
Go on. Definitely.

753
00:32:57,809 --> 00:32:59,227
Excited for it.
Let's do it.

754
00:32:59,227 --> 00:33:00,853
Let's smash it.
Let's beat them.

755
00:33:00,853 --> 00:33:02,188
'Cause we can.
We have done.

756
00:33:02,188 --> 00:33:03,982
So yeah, we'll do it.

757
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:05,400
And hopefully the pressure
of a cup game

758
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,901
won't get to us,
'cause it's the league.

759
00:33:06,901 --> 00:33:08,820
And obviously,
we've, um, won every game

760
00:33:08,820 --> 00:33:10,363
so far in the league.

761
00:33:10,363 --> 00:33:13,241
So hopefully we just continue
our, um, winning streak.

762
00:33:17,370 --> 00:33:20,164
We know exactly
what we've got to do, okay?

763
00:33:20,164 --> 00:33:22,583
We cannot make sure
that we obviously

764
00:33:22,583 --> 00:33:24,002
take this game lightly.

765
00:33:24,002 --> 00:33:26,004
<i>These won't want to see us
to come here</i>

766
00:33:26,004 --> 00:33:27,839
<i>and turn them over,
simple as that.</i>

767
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:29,382
<i>Last week was a slog.</i>

768
00:33:29,382 --> 00:33:32,093
This week, let the football
do the talking.

769
00:33:32,093 --> 00:33:34,012
<i>Get the ball down.
Use the pitch.</i>

770
00:33:34,012 --> 00:33:35,972
<i>How good does that feel,
coming in,</i>

771
00:33:35,972 --> 00:33:38,307
<i>when you've got 50-odd people
giving you a clap?</i>

772
00:33:38,307 --> 00:33:39,809
Yeah? All right.

773
00:33:39,809 --> 00:33:41,310
That's the ambition, yeah?

774
00:33:41,310 --> 00:33:43,062
That's the drive, okay?

775
00:33:43,062 --> 00:33:45,148
<i>Let's send them home
fucking happy,</i>

776
00:33:45,148 --> 00:33:48,484
<i>and let's send them home that
we fucking played well today,</i>

777
00:33:48,484 --> 00:33:50,945
<i>and we've done
our fucking jobs, okay?</i>

778
00:33:50,945 --> 00:33:52,864
<i>No regrets
at the end of this game.</i>

779
00:33:52,864 --> 00:33:55,533
Come on. Let's go.

780
00:33:57,785 --> 00:33:59,287
Come on, then, girls!

781
00:33:59,287 --> 00:34:00,371
Relax, Lil!

782
00:34:00,371 --> 00:34:01,706
Other side, Lili!

783
00:34:01,706 --> 00:34:03,374
<i>Their confidence
was warranted.</i>

784
00:34:03,374 --> 00:34:04,834
<i>They came flying
out of the traps</i>

785
00:34:04,834 --> 00:34:06,419
and scored three early goals.

786
00:34:06,419 --> 00:34:08,004
Yes!

787
00:34:08,004 --> 00:34:10,048
Follow in!

788
00:34:10,048 --> 00:34:12,383
{\an8}<i>-(bell dings)</i>

789
00:34:12,383 --> 00:34:13,468
{\an8}Whoo!

790
00:34:22,393 --> 00:34:25,021
{\an8}So I'm delighted to say,
look who's next to me here.

791
00:34:25,021 --> 00:34:26,397
{\an8}- Hello.
- Mr. Humphrey Ker is

792
00:34:26,397 --> 00:34:27,482
{\an8}at the game today.

793
00:34:27,482 --> 00:34:28,566
{\an8}Fantastic.

794
00:34:28,566 --> 00:34:29,692
{\an8}What do you think so far?

795
00:34:29,692 --> 00:34:31,110
{\an8}It's going well.
3-0 up.

796
00:34:31,110 --> 00:34:32,612
We just--just missed a penalty,

797
00:34:32,612 --> 00:34:34,030
but I'm hoping
that won't come back

798
00:34:34,030 --> 00:34:35,239
to haunt us in the second half.

799
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:36,532
But yeah, it's going well.

800
00:34:36,532 --> 00:34:37,825
<i>Obviously,
three points here means--</i>

801
00:34:37,825 --> 00:34:39,243
<i>means the title, so... Yeah.</i>

802
00:34:39,243 --> 00:34:40,703
<i>Um, yeah,
it's a great day.</i>

803
00:34:49,295 --> 00:34:50,963
{\an8}Yes, when people talk about
the beautiful game,

804
00:34:50,963 --> 00:34:53,966
they often, uh, summon
the spirit of 1970s Brazil.

805
00:34:53,966 --> 00:34:55,843
<i>But I think those people
maybe haven't seen</i>

806
00:34:55,843 --> 00:34:57,345
<i>2023 Wrexham women.</i>

807
00:35:03,643 --> 00:35:05,478
{\an8}Rosie Hughes is unbelievable.

808
00:35:05,478 --> 00:35:06,729
Like, I've been lucky enough
to see her

809
00:35:06,729 --> 00:35:08,189
a couple of times
in action now.

810
00:35:08,189 --> 00:35:10,108
{\an8}And, you know,
she's a Wrexham legend.

811
00:35:10,108 --> 00:35:11,567
{\an8}<i>Yeah, I'm really chuffed
for her.</i>

812
00:35:11,567 --> 00:35:13,194
<i>I'm really chuffed
for all the girls,</i>

813
00:35:13,194 --> 00:35:15,029
<i>and it'd be great to have
a double celebration</i>

814
00:35:15,029 --> 00:35:16,322
<i>at the end of the season.</i>

815
00:35:16,322 --> 00:35:17,698
Humphrey...
Thank you very much.

816
00:35:17,698 --> 00:35:19,659
Cheers, Tommy. Take care.

817
00:35:20,910 --> 00:35:23,079
<i>They're working hard,
working as a unit,</i>

818
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:25,832
and frankly putting Rhyl
to the sword.

819
00:35:25,832 --> 00:35:27,166
Go on.

820
00:35:27,166 --> 00:35:30,086
{\an8}Yes!

821
00:35:34,298 --> 00:35:36,134
{\an8}Oh. Come on, Rosie.

822
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:38,803
{\an8}Go on. Yes!

823
00:35:42,849 --> 00:35:45,643
{\an8}♪ We've got Rosie ♪</i>

824
00:35:45,643 --> 00:35:47,812
{\an8}<i>♪ Super Rosie Hughes ♪</i>

825
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:51,065
{\an8}<i>♪ Just don't think
you understand ♪</i>

826
00:35:52,483 --> 00:35:54,694
{\an8}Yes!

827
00:35:56,904 --> 00:35:59,115
{\an8}So the full-time
score is Rhyl 1,</i>

828
00:35:59,115 --> 00:36:00,950
<i>Wrexham 11,
which is an unbelievable way</i>

829
00:36:00,950 --> 00:36:03,619
<i>to end the Adran North League.</i>

830
00:36:09,667 --> 00:36:13,337
However, unfortunately,
despite having won the title

831
00:36:13,337 --> 00:36:15,047
<i>of the Adran Northern League--</i>

832
00:36:15,047 --> 00:36:18,384
and that's a fantastic
achievement in and of itself--

833
00:36:18,384 --> 00:36:20,469
it doesn't yet mean promotion.

834
00:36:20,469 --> 00:36:22,680
<i>There remains the playoff game
against the winners</i>

835
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:26,100
<i>of the Adran South,
and that is Briton Ferry.</i>

836
00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:29,061
So we've still got
one more game.

837
00:36:35,026 --> 00:36:36,360
Oh, amazing.

838
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,446
I mean, it feels like
all the hard work's paid off.

839
00:36:38,446 --> 00:36:39,780
We should have done it
last season,

840
00:36:39,780 --> 00:36:42,283
and--and to do it
in an 11-1 win today

841
00:36:42,283 --> 00:36:43,492
and get a goal for meself,

842
00:36:43,492 --> 00:36:45,369
it is a dream come true,
to be honest.

843
00:36:45,369 --> 00:36:47,079
And to do it for this badge
as well is--

844
00:36:47,079 --> 00:36:48,664
<i>yeah, it means everything
to me.</i>

845
00:36:48,664 --> 00:36:51,459
You know, playing for this club
and doing it for these people

846
00:36:51,459 --> 00:36:53,461
is--is something
I've always dreamed of doing,

847
00:36:53,461 --> 00:36:54,879
and the fact that I've done it

848
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:57,590
is something
I'll always be proud of.

849
00:36:57,590 --> 00:36:59,217
<i>We won the league.</i>

850
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:01,761
<i>However, that didn't guarantee
automatic promotion.</i>

851
00:37:01,761 --> 00:37:03,262
<i>But we'd still won our league.</i>

852
00:37:03,262 --> 00:37:05,473
And I thought that
that was really important

853
00:37:05,473 --> 00:37:07,391
that we celebrated that,

854
00:37:07,391 --> 00:37:09,268
for the girls to have
their celebration.

855
00:37:09,268 --> 00:37:11,229
<i>Because if we didn't go up,</i>

856
00:37:11,229 --> 00:37:13,105
<i>it was still
an incredible achievement.</i>

857
00:37:22,907 --> 00:37:24,867
There's a little message
for you here,

858
00:37:24,867 --> 00:37:27,870
from one of our chairmen.

859
00:37:27,870 --> 00:37:29,372
<i>Hey there,
this is just a quick message</i>

860
00:37:29,372 --> 00:37:30,998
<i>for the Wrexham AFC women.</i>

861
00:37:30,998 --> 00:37:33,626
<i>I, um--boy.</i>

862
00:37:33,626 --> 00:37:35,878
<i>I just want to say
congratulations on--on, um--</i>

863
00:37:35,878 --> 00:37:39,006
<i>on one of the most incredible
and historic seasons,</i>

864
00:37:39,006 --> 00:37:42,718
<i>uh, so far, um, we've ever had.</i>

865
00:37:42,718 --> 00:37:46,806
<i>Um, you know, by we,
I mean this club and you.</i>

866
00:37:46,806 --> 00:37:48,849
<i>Uh, you guys have been
putting up</i>

867
00:37:48,849 --> 00:37:50,601
<i>what I guess could
only be described</i>

868
00:37:50,601 --> 00:37:52,103
<i>as basketball scores.</i>

869
00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:53,729
<i>It's been incredible.</i>

870
00:37:53,729 --> 00:37:56,983
<i>Um, and I just want
to say congratulations,</i>

871
00:37:56,983 --> 00:37:58,859
<i>and thank you, uh,</i>

872
00:37:58,859 --> 00:38:02,071
<i>for putting your heart, soul,
and last drop of blood</i>

873
00:38:02,071 --> 00:38:03,572
<i>into every single one
of these matches.</i>

874
00:38:03,572 --> 00:38:06,075
<i>Um, each and every one of you
are heroes.</i>

875
00:38:06,075 --> 00:38:09,328
<i>And, uh, I'm sending you tons
