Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:22,189 --> 00:00:25,292
I work in
the largest prison in the UK.
2
00:00:27,794 --> 00:00:30,396
It's a male prison, category C.
3
00:00:31,665 --> 00:00:34,100
It can hold a maximum
of 2,100 prisoners.
4
00:00:37,638 --> 00:00:39,071
I'm actually
a manager there now.
5
00:00:39,072 --> 00:00:42,441
I've been there 5 1/2 years.
6
00:00:42,442 --> 00:00:45,711
I used to be a POELT mentor
which was, um,
7
00:00:45,712 --> 00:00:48,248
where you introduce,
like, the new starters
8
00:00:48,249 --> 00:00:50,216
to the prison,
so I've done loads of tours.
9
00:00:50,217 --> 00:00:52,097
So I'll just give you
one of them type of tours.
10
00:00:55,389 --> 00:00:57,756
So we've got a custodial caf,
11
00:00:57,757 --> 00:01:00,026
where you can stop and go
and get some food.
12
00:01:00,027 --> 00:01:02,528
A reception area, which...
13
00:01:02,529 --> 00:01:05,331
The prisoners come off
these GEOAmey buses,
14
00:01:05,332 --> 00:01:07,800
head through reception.
15
00:01:07,801 --> 00:01:09,335
Kitchen's here on the left.
16
00:01:09,336 --> 00:01:13,205
Food for over 1,800 prisoners.
17
00:01:13,206 --> 00:01:15,375
You just kind of have
to make yourself aware.
18
00:01:15,376 --> 00:01:17,210
Like, you have to have
trust in your staff,
19
00:01:17,211 --> 00:01:18,677
but also back yourself.
20
00:01:18,678 --> 00:01:20,546
Never put yourself
in an unsafe position.
21
00:01:20,547 --> 00:01:22,181
Of course,
we're taught, you know,
22
00:01:22,182 --> 00:01:24,117
how to look after ourselves,
how to protect ourselves.
23
00:01:24,118 --> 00:01:25,684
Use all the tools
that you have...
24
00:01:25,685 --> 00:01:27,720
A baton, handcuffs, radio.
25
00:01:27,721 --> 00:01:31,224
Alert staff
whenever you need them.
26
00:01:31,225 --> 00:01:34,160
I found myself being
in this line of work
27
00:01:34,161 --> 00:01:36,362
because I'm not
the type of person that can
28
00:01:36,363 --> 00:01:38,598
sit still or sit in an office.
29
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:40,266
It's so hands-on.
30
00:01:40,267 --> 00:01:42,001
You're kind of free
to be yourself.
31
00:01:42,002 --> 00:01:44,004
That's where I flex.
32
00:01:45,138 --> 00:01:47,273
Like this.
33
00:01:48,742 --> 00:01:50,910
And it's a people's business,
at the end of the day.
34
00:01:50,911 --> 00:01:52,512
You know,
you're working with people.
35
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:57,984
We're... we're there
as parents, as teachers,
36
00:01:57,985 --> 00:01:59,952
as health care, firefighters.
37
00:01:59,953 --> 00:02:02,055
It's an emergency service job.
38
00:02:05,092 --> 00:02:07,126
I follow you.
39
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:08,894
I feel proud every day
to put the uniform on,
40
00:02:08,895 --> 00:02:09,895
to clip the belt on.
41
00:02:13,333 --> 00:02:16,268
The job that I do is difficult.
42
00:02:16,269 --> 00:02:17,437
It's emotionally straining.
43
00:02:17,438 --> 00:02:20,706
It's hard work,
but it's also rewarding.
44
00:02:20,707 --> 00:02:22,875
I've had family members
that have been in prison.
45
00:02:25,011 --> 00:02:27,646
I grew... grew up
going to visit prisons.
46
00:02:27,647 --> 00:02:30,349
I've seen my sister in prison,
my brother,
47
00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:32,918
you know,
so it wasn't new to me.
48
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,621
Um, and I know
they're just humans,
49
00:02:34,622 --> 00:02:36,289
at the end of the day.
50
00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:39,191
So it's easy for me
to, you know, be there.
51
00:02:39,192 --> 00:02:41,661
No, I don't think so.
I think we're pretty much...
52
00:02:46,633 --> 00:02:50,469
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to Wrexham.
53
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:52,705
And wow, what an occasion
we've got here.
54
00:02:52,706 --> 00:02:55,808
Wrexham playing
at the Racecourse.
55
00:02:55,809 --> 00:02:57,944
The atmosphere here
is fantastic.
56
00:02:57,945 --> 00:03:00,346
The crowds are wonderful.
57
00:03:00,347 --> 00:03:02,582
- Let's go, Wrexham!
- Up Wrexham!
58
00:03:10,524 --> 00:03:12,825
Come on, Jonesy.
Come on!
59
00:03:15,196 --> 00:03:18,163
One thing that a lot of
people don't know and realize
60
00:03:18,164 --> 00:03:21,834
is that the number one
goal scorer for Wrexham
61
00:03:21,835 --> 00:03:23,769
is not Paul Mullin.
62
00:03:23,770 --> 00:03:25,971
It's not Ollie Palmer.
It's not Elliot Lee.
63
00:03:25,972 --> 00:03:27,840
It's not Sam Dalby.
64
00:03:27,841 --> 00:03:29,242
It's Rosie Hughes.
65
00:03:31,144 --> 00:03:33,346
Clears it now.
White is on the chase.
66
00:03:33,347 --> 00:03:34,547
Will she get there first?
Yes, she does.
67
00:03:34,548 --> 00:03:36,082
She knocks it past the player.
68
00:03:36,083 --> 00:03:38,250
Hughes now up against
the last defender with White,
69
00:03:38,251 --> 00:03:40,119
and it's a first one-on-one.
70
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,823
Hughes passed,
and Hughes got a goal!
71
00:03:48,995 --> 00:03:50,696
Wrexham take the lead.
72
00:03:50,697 --> 00:03:52,198
It had to be Rosie Hughes.
73
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:53,666
It had to be.
74
00:04:38,845 --> 00:04:41,948
The men's team is
currently in second place
75
00:04:41,949 --> 00:04:43,248
midway through the season.
76
00:04:43,249 --> 00:04:45,718
But Wrexham has another team
77
00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:47,620
that is in first place
78
00:04:47,621 --> 00:04:51,156
and is, for lack
of a better expression,
79
00:04:51,157 --> 00:04:53,959
kicking the living shit
out of everyone.
80
00:05:07,807 --> 00:05:10,142
It's not just the men
at Wrexham Football Club.
81
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:12,345
There is a women's section.
82
00:05:13,447 --> 00:05:15,048
It's very similar
on the women's side
83
00:05:15,049 --> 00:05:16,749
to the men's side.
84
00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:19,285
The women are in a really
good, strong position
85
00:05:19,286 --> 00:05:21,020
to be challenging for promotion.
86
00:05:27,194 --> 00:05:29,495
We are the women's first team,
87
00:05:29,496 --> 00:05:31,197
unbeaten in the league so far.
88
00:05:31,198 --> 00:05:32,598
Won every game.
89
00:05:35,101 --> 00:05:36,468
Looking for promotion to get up
90
00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:37,904
to the highest league in Wales,
91
00:05:37,905 --> 00:05:40,372
which is where we want to be.
92
00:05:40,373 --> 00:05:42,942
There's so many people are
looking at our results
93
00:05:42,943 --> 00:05:44,110
and our players
94
00:05:44,111 --> 00:05:45,645
because our players are special,
95
00:05:45,646 --> 00:05:48,347
and they deserve every bit
of attention that they get.
96
00:05:51,518 --> 00:05:53,586
I am Wrexham's goal scorer.
97
00:05:53,587 --> 00:05:55,555
I'm a nuisance.
I'm... I'm a pain.
98
00:05:55,556 --> 00:05:57,623
Defenders do not want
to defend me.
99
00:05:57,624 --> 00:06:00,193
I've scored three hat tricks
in one game before,
100
00:06:00,194 --> 00:06:02,328
against my former team,
which, you know, sorry,
101
00:06:02,329 --> 00:06:04,029
but I love every goal.
102
00:06:04,030 --> 00:06:05,731
Yes!
103
00:06:05,732 --> 00:06:07,800
Rosie Hughes, character-wise,
104
00:06:07,801 --> 00:06:09,735
is... is great to have around.
105
00:06:09,736 --> 00:06:12,438
Very uplifting,
confident individual.
106
00:06:15,409 --> 00:06:16,943
When I'm on the pitch,
107
00:06:16,944 --> 00:06:20,213
a fire within me,
it just kind of explodes.
108
00:06:20,214 --> 00:06:21,447
I look like I'm laughing
109
00:06:21,448 --> 00:06:23,116
in the opponents' faces,
but I'm not.
110
00:06:23,117 --> 00:06:25,051
I'm just...
I'm just happy for me.
111
00:06:27,087 --> 00:06:28,354
You can see on the pitch,
112
00:06:28,355 --> 00:06:30,456
the quality of touch
is fabulous.
113
00:06:30,457 --> 00:06:32,258
And you know,
the pitch isn't perfect,
114
00:06:32,259 --> 00:06:34,627
but she tames it superbly.
115
00:06:34,628 --> 00:06:36,428
She's ludicrous.
116
00:06:39,166 --> 00:06:40,566
Thank you.
117
00:06:42,136 --> 00:06:44,937
I'd love to sign it.
118
00:06:44,938 --> 00:06:48,607
I do believe that
I'm the female Paul Mullin.
119
00:06:48,608 --> 00:06:50,376
Not that I'm gonna
compare myself to him,
120
00:06:50,377 --> 00:06:53,179
'cause I feel like
he's the male Rosie Hughes.
121
00:06:54,247 --> 00:06:56,049
I know exactly how he feels,
122
00:06:56,050 --> 00:06:57,751
and I'm sure he knows
how I feel.
123
00:06:57,752 --> 00:07:00,853
I've got girls
shouting my name on the pitch
124
00:07:00,854 --> 00:07:02,087
and, like, coming to watch us.
125
00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:03,155
Like, for me, that's everything.
126
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:04,356
That's all I've ever wanted,
is people
127
00:07:04,357 --> 00:07:06,192
just to come
and watch me play football.
128
00:07:06,193 --> 00:07:08,260
Granted, it's not in front
of a load of viewers,
129
00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:09,896
which I would love.
130
00:07:11,265 --> 00:07:13,599
Wrexham, Wrexham, Wrexham!
131
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,734
That's... that's just the thing.
132
00:07:15,735 --> 00:07:19,305
The Wrexham women's home games
are not at the Racecourse.
133
00:07:19,306 --> 00:07:21,807
We're here in Rhos,
one of the satellite towns
134
00:07:21,808 --> 00:07:23,742
just outside Wrexham.
135
00:07:23,743 --> 00:07:26,212
We play at
Rhos Aelwyd's grounds.
136
00:07:26,213 --> 00:07:28,948
We have one small stand,
137
00:07:28,949 --> 00:07:30,850
which actually isn't open
to the public.
138
00:07:30,851 --> 00:07:32,084
There's no bleachers.
139
00:07:32,085 --> 00:07:33,853
It's just people
with a metal barrier
140
00:07:33,854 --> 00:07:36,055
around the pitch leaning on it
and watching it.
141
00:07:36,056 --> 00:07:37,924
Must be
a couple of hundred here,
142
00:07:37,925 --> 00:07:40,526
but this is growth.
143
00:07:40,527 --> 00:07:42,595
That's all right.
That's okay.
144
00:07:42,596 --> 00:07:44,464
It's all about
the knock-on effect, really.
145
00:07:44,465 --> 00:07:46,665
It's... you know, with the men's
team winning yesterday,
146
00:07:46,666 --> 00:07:50,036
um, I think a few more are
starting to become interested
147
00:07:50,037 --> 00:07:51,637
in the women's side as well,
which is...
148
00:07:51,638 --> 00:07:53,606
Which can only benefit,
you know, the girls.
149
00:07:53,607 --> 00:07:56,108
They want...
They want supporters here to...
150
00:07:56,109 --> 00:07:58,311
You know, to be here and...
151
00:07:58,312 --> 00:08:00,446
And encourage them
and support them.
152
00:08:00,447 --> 00:08:02,749
So we're on the start
of... of what is
153
00:08:02,750 --> 00:08:06,853
a really, really exciting
journey for them, I think.
154
00:08:06,854 --> 00:08:09,789
Go on. Go on, Rosie.
155
00:08:09,790 --> 00:08:11,091
Yes! Yes!
156
00:08:11,092 --> 00:08:12,659
Come on, Rosie!
157
00:08:17,898 --> 00:08:19,698
Whoo!
158
00:08:19,699 --> 00:08:22,468
- Yeah, Rosie!
- Yes!
159
00:08:22,469 --> 00:08:24,470
That's the way to end a half.
160
00:08:24,471 --> 00:08:26,706
We didn't know that there was
a women's team in Wrexham
161
00:08:26,707 --> 00:08:28,508
until we took
stewardship of the club
162
00:08:28,509 --> 00:08:31,844
and recognized that there was
a program that was in place.
163
00:08:31,845 --> 00:08:33,880
And they, just like the men,
164
00:08:33,881 --> 00:08:37,484
need to win the league
to get promoted up
165
00:08:37,485 --> 00:08:40,686
and out and into
the professional ranks.
166
00:08:40,687 --> 00:08:43,890
The club is a group
of different teams,
167
00:08:43,891 --> 00:08:45,191
from the powerchair team
168
00:08:45,192 --> 00:08:46,992
to a seven-a-side team,
169
00:08:46,993 --> 00:08:49,729
you know, to the youth teams
and the girls teams.
170
00:08:49,730 --> 00:08:54,467
So the women's team is
as much a part of the club.
171
00:08:54,468 --> 00:08:56,502
We play on a nice, lovely pitch.
172
00:08:56,503 --> 00:08:57,837
I say lovely.
173
00:08:57,838 --> 00:09:00,739
I use that term quite loosely.
174
00:09:00,740 --> 00:09:03,075
On certain days,
it's not the nicest place...
175
00:09:03,076 --> 00:09:05,277
Place to be.
176
00:09:05,278 --> 00:09:07,213
Yeah, we try not to... we do...
177
00:09:07,214 --> 00:09:08,182
I was gonna say
we don't complain.
178
00:09:08,183 --> 00:09:09,581
We do complain.
179
00:09:09,582 --> 00:09:11,551
Um, we all do it
because we love football,
180
00:09:11,552 --> 00:09:13,720
and because we love
the club that is Wrexham.
181
00:09:13,721 --> 00:09:16,655
And I think you can see that
when you come to games.
182
00:09:16,656 --> 00:09:18,457
We don't just turn up
for a laugh.
183
00:09:18,458 --> 00:09:20,693
We turn up and we take it
quite seriously,
184
00:09:20,694 --> 00:09:23,863
because we know the importance
of wearing that badge.
185
00:09:28,468 --> 00:09:29,969
Wow.
186
00:09:29,970 --> 00:09:31,337
Was that Lili?
187
00:09:31,338 --> 00:09:33,205
- Lili, yeah.
- Whoo!
188
00:09:33,206 --> 00:09:35,508
And with that dominant 5-2 win,
189
00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:37,811
the Wrexham women sit
first in the league,
190
00:09:37,812 --> 00:09:38,945
neck and neck with
191
00:09:38,946 --> 00:09:40,145
the only other undefeated
192
00:09:40,146 --> 00:09:41,814
team, Connah's Quay Nomads,
193
00:09:41,815 --> 00:09:43,082
who aim to spoil Wrexham's
194
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:44,684
chances at promotion.
195
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,320
This way?
196
00:09:48,923 --> 00:09:50,857
Ladies!
197
00:09:50,858 --> 00:09:53,059
That was absolutely amazing.
198
00:09:53,060 --> 00:09:55,327
Wow. Wow.
199
00:09:55,328 --> 00:09:57,564
That was my first game,
and I've seen you guys win
200
00:09:57,565 --> 00:09:59,131
as many times
as I've seen the men win.
201
00:10:00,267 --> 00:10:01,868
We definitely need to work on
202
00:10:01,869 --> 00:10:03,303
drainage on that pitch.
203
00:10:03,304 --> 00:10:05,738
And maybe new washing machines,
because I don't know
204
00:10:05,739 --> 00:10:08,440
how you're gonna...
How we're gonna... look at that!
205
00:10:09,610 --> 00:10:11,577
That's amazing.
Well, congratulations.
206
00:10:11,578 --> 00:10:12,912
Thank you for having me.
207
00:10:12,913 --> 00:10:16,282
And, um, Ryan and I have been
talking quite a bit about
208
00:10:16,283 --> 00:10:19,385
how we want to prioritize
this program.
209
00:10:19,386 --> 00:10:22,922
And for so many reasons
in the past, it hasn't been.
210
00:10:22,923 --> 00:10:24,156
You're all very important to us,
211
00:10:24,157 --> 00:10:26,025
and we want to continue
to support you.
212
00:10:26,026 --> 00:10:28,193
And if you keep winning,
it makes it a lot easier.
213
00:10:28,194 --> 00:10:30,096
So thank you.
214
00:10:30,097 --> 00:10:31,364
More goals next time.
215
00:10:31,365 --> 00:10:33,198
Next time.
216
00:10:33,199 --> 00:10:35,334
I came here for a hat trick,
and I don't know...
217
00:10:35,335 --> 00:10:36,769
It was great.
218
00:10:36,770 --> 00:10:38,437
It was fantastic.
Thank you.
219
00:10:39,906 --> 00:10:41,674
Last year, both
the men's and women's teams
220
00:10:41,675 --> 00:10:43,776
very narrowly missed out
on promotion.
221
00:10:43,777 --> 00:10:46,513
This year, things are looking
a little brighter.
222
00:10:47,481 --> 00:10:49,315
Right now, our women's team
is an amateur side.
223
00:10:49,316 --> 00:10:50,950
None of the players get paid.
224
00:10:50,951 --> 00:10:51,984
If the women win
225
00:10:51,985 --> 00:10:53,152
the Adran North League,
226
00:10:53,153 --> 00:10:54,253
they will then go into
227
00:10:54,254 --> 00:10:55,254
a playoff against the winner
228
00:10:55,255 --> 00:10:56,522
of the Adran South League,
229
00:10:56,523 --> 00:10:57,857
and the winner of that will be
230
00:10:57,858 --> 00:10:59,325
promoted to the Adran Premier.
231
00:10:59,326 --> 00:11:00,626
If that's the case,
232
00:11:00,627 --> 00:11:02,195
then we have grand plans
233
00:11:02,196 --> 00:11:04,163
that involve going
to a semi-professional status,
234
00:11:04,164 --> 00:11:05,498
which means paying the players.
235
00:11:05,499 --> 00:11:06,933
I'm just giving you a hard time.
236
00:11:06,934 --> 00:11:08,167
Congratulations.
237
00:11:08,168 --> 00:11:09,335
- Yeah. Thank you.
- It was great.
238
00:11:09,336 --> 00:11:10,837
I don't necessarily
even just think
239
00:11:10,838 --> 00:11:12,838
it's an ethical responsibility
to do something like that.
240
00:11:12,839 --> 00:11:17,176
I think that there is a massive
business to be created there.
241
00:11:17,177 --> 00:11:18,678
Wow, this is cra...
242
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,047
I can't believe
you played in this.
243
00:11:21,048 --> 00:11:23,215
Yeah.
There's so much to do there.
244
00:11:23,216 --> 00:11:25,318
Which is great, you know.
It's daunting, too, for us.
245
00:11:25,319 --> 00:11:27,319
It's like, for us
to cultivate and grow
246
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,222
that business as well
is gonna be
247
00:11:29,223 --> 00:11:31,490
a real privilege and fun,
but you know,
248
00:11:31,491 --> 00:11:34,026
we've got a long road ahead.
249
00:11:34,027 --> 00:11:36,262
For us as players,
all we can do is
250
00:11:36,263 --> 00:11:37,964
put out really good
performances on the pitch
251
00:11:37,965 --> 00:11:39,465
and just keep winning.
252
00:11:39,466 --> 00:11:41,868
Prove you're worth watching,
you're worth following.
253
00:11:41,869 --> 00:11:44,337
You know, prove to us
your... your worth,
254
00:11:44,338 --> 00:11:46,272
because that's how
we get more attention.
255
00:11:46,273 --> 00:11:48,641
That's how, you know,
we bring more success.
256
00:11:48,642 --> 00:11:50,977
Not just to the women's game,
but to football
257
00:11:50,978 --> 00:11:52,445
as a whole for Wrexham,
258
00:11:52,446 --> 00:11:55,715
and I think that's all
we need to focus on.
259
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,460
I'm 17,
260
00:12:07,461 --> 00:12:10,764
and I'm in school
9:00 till 3:30 most days.
261
00:12:11,899 --> 00:12:13,699
Tuesdays and Thursdays,
I'm at work.
262
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:14,767
So I work 5:00 till 11:00.
263
00:12:14,768 --> 00:12:16,268
So yeah.
264
00:12:16,269 --> 00:12:18,070
No time
for anything else, really.
265
00:12:19,306 --> 00:12:21,007
Rob's cleaned up
from the other tea.
266
00:12:21,008 --> 00:12:22,375
Thank you. You can follow...
267
00:12:26,247 --> 00:12:28,848
It's actually vile, innit?
268
00:12:28,849 --> 00:12:31,383
I'm a kitchen porter.
269
00:12:31,384 --> 00:12:33,319
Probably one of the hardest
270
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,555
and most humbling jobs
you'll ever do.
271
00:12:35,556 --> 00:12:38,891
The six hours goes quite fast
when you're bent over a sink.
272
00:12:38,892 --> 00:12:40,192
This is hot off the kettle.
273
00:12:40,193 --> 00:12:41,633
How the fuck am I
gonna get that off?
274
00:12:44,265 --> 00:12:46,165
We do ask a lot
of these players,
275
00:12:46,166 --> 00:12:47,667
considering they are
amateur players.
276
00:12:47,668 --> 00:12:48,868
They're not professional.
277
00:12:48,869 --> 00:12:50,770
They're not on contracts
in any way, shape, or form.
278
00:12:50,771 --> 00:12:55,107
So we play football
on top of a working day.
279
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:56,275
Chilling.
280
00:12:56,276 --> 00:12:57,843
Are you coming on Sunday,
or what?
281
00:12:57,844 --> 00:12:59,545
- No, I'm not.
- Why?
282
00:12:59,546 --> 00:13:01,113
- I'm busy.
- You're busy?
283
00:13:01,114 --> 00:13:02,949
All right. Fucking hell.
284
00:13:02,950 --> 00:13:04,884
It is tough trying
to balance everything out,
285
00:13:04,885 --> 00:13:07,419
but end of the day,
it's what's got to be done.
286
00:13:07,420 --> 00:13:08,754
Everyone else has got to do it,
287
00:13:08,755 --> 00:13:10,790
so I'll do it as well,
you know what I mean?
288
00:13:10,791 --> 00:13:11,992
Yeah.
289
00:13:16,896 --> 00:13:18,898
Stop looking at me.
290
00:13:18,899 --> 00:13:20,600
Does it feel like
it's like a dream?
291
00:13:20,601 --> 00:13:23,703
You know, first you're, like,
playing your dream career
292
00:13:23,704 --> 00:13:24,737
in front of loads of people,
293
00:13:24,738 --> 00:13:26,405
and then next day,
you're cleaning pots.
294
00:13:26,406 --> 00:13:28,174
I know. It's mad, innit?
295
00:13:29,009 --> 00:13:30,176
And do you enjoy it?
296
00:13:30,177 --> 00:13:31,744
- What, working or playing?
- Playing.
297
00:13:31,745 --> 00:13:33,012
I love it.
298
00:13:33,013 --> 00:13:34,480
It's... I live and breathe for it.
299
00:13:34,481 --> 00:13:37,183
I, like... yeah,
I love every second of it.
300
00:13:37,184 --> 00:13:40,386
But... you know?
301
00:13:40,387 --> 00:13:42,088
I'm just telling her
that when she's famous,
302
00:13:42,089 --> 00:13:43,656
she needs to come in.
303
00:13:43,657 --> 00:13:44,958
When I'm famous.
304
00:13:44,959 --> 00:13:46,425
- We'll see.
- Yeah.
305
00:13:46,426 --> 00:13:47,994
- Do you reckon?
- Yeah.
306
00:13:47,995 --> 00:13:50,163
I think
you're a good footballer.
307
00:13:50,164 --> 00:13:52,598
I've read about you.
308
00:13:54,601 --> 00:13:57,704
Started playing football
at around six years old.
309
00:13:57,705 --> 00:13:59,672
Obviously there weren't
many girls teams around
310
00:13:59,673 --> 00:14:02,408
at that time,
so my dad threw me in with...
311
00:14:02,409 --> 00:14:04,143
With the under-six lads team,
312
00:14:04,144 --> 00:14:06,246
which was a bit daunting
at the time.
313
00:14:06,247 --> 00:14:08,314
My dad always used to tell me,
"Get involved, get involved."
314
00:14:08,315 --> 00:14:10,216
And eventually I did.
315
00:14:10,217 --> 00:14:12,377
I was probably the best player
on the team at the time.
316
00:14:14,554 --> 00:14:18,991
About age 13, I got scouted
to play for Everton.
317
00:14:18,992 --> 00:14:20,827
Spent a couple of seasons there,
318
00:14:20,828 --> 00:14:22,695
um, which I absolutely loved.
319
00:14:22,696 --> 00:14:26,032
Playing against big opposition
like Man City, Chelsea.
320
00:14:26,033 --> 00:14:29,335
I was then drafted in,
then, with the Welsh squad.
321
00:14:29,336 --> 00:14:31,738
I played at that level
at 15s and 17s,
322
00:14:31,739 --> 00:14:34,107
which was an unreal experience,
playing in countries
323
00:14:34,108 --> 00:14:36,309
like Sweden, Portugal.
324
00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:38,244
And then I returned,
then, back...
325
00:14:38,245 --> 00:14:40,846
Back playing for Wrexham,
where I'm at now, and...
326
00:14:44,919 --> 00:14:46,886
I probably would have stayed
at Everton a bit longer
327
00:14:46,887 --> 00:14:48,421
if I hadn't lost my dad.
328
00:14:48,422 --> 00:14:52,191
Um, he struggled
with mental health
329
00:14:52,192 --> 00:14:53,559
and anxiety, depression.
330
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,728
Um, people knew
he was going through it.
331
00:14:55,729 --> 00:14:57,063
I guess we just didn't know
332
00:14:57,064 --> 00:14:58,531
how much it really was
affecting him.
333
00:14:58,532 --> 00:15:00,699
We knew it was getting bad,
but that was a cycle
334
00:15:00,700 --> 00:15:02,202
we'd dealt with a lot.
335
00:15:02,203 --> 00:15:06,105
My dad took his own life, um,
18th of April, I think, 2021.
336
00:15:07,908 --> 00:15:10,209
Lili's gone through
quite a difficult period
337
00:15:10,210 --> 00:15:12,245
in her life at such a young age.
338
00:15:12,246 --> 00:15:14,847
Now, her dad, like... like mine,
339
00:15:14,848 --> 00:15:17,350
is the reason why
she comes to watch Wrexham,
340
00:15:17,351 --> 00:15:19,485
why she's the fan that she is.
341
00:15:19,486 --> 00:15:22,354
Yeah, he was a massive
fan of the club as well.
342
00:15:22,355 --> 00:15:25,257
Some of... he used to make
these stupid videos,
343
00:15:25,258 --> 00:15:26,592
trying to... trying to catch
344
00:15:26,593 --> 00:15:28,394
Rob and Ryan's attention
all the time.
345
00:15:28,395 --> 00:15:30,996
Um...
346
00:15:30,997 --> 00:15:35,835
I'm here with,
um, my daughter Lili,
347
00:15:35,836 --> 00:15:39,972
who's also played
348
00:15:39,973 --> 00:15:43,643
for Wrexham girls.
349
00:15:43,644 --> 00:15:44,743
Yeah.
350
00:15:44,744 --> 00:15:46,412
Her dad was... was absolutely...
351
00:15:46,413 --> 00:15:48,447
What an incredible man
her dad was.
352
00:15:48,448 --> 00:15:50,984
And you know, we knew her dad
really, really well.
353
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,057
He was a massive character,
and everyone seems to know him,
354
00:15:58,058 --> 00:15:59,859
and everyone seems to have
a story about him,
355
00:15:59,860 --> 00:16:01,627
which... which is very comforting.
356
00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:03,729
I do feel like he's still
with us all the time.
357
00:16:03,730 --> 00:16:05,898
He's at my football games, watching.
358
00:16:05,899 --> 00:16:08,534
The flag we designed
after... after he passed.
359
00:16:08,535 --> 00:16:10,536
Every time I step on the pitch
and every time I step off
360
00:16:10,537 --> 00:16:12,404
is, would I have made
my dad proud?
361
00:16:12,405 --> 00:16:14,106
What would my dad think of this?
362
00:16:14,107 --> 00:16:17,577
And what he'd say and what he'd
think of my performance, so...
363
00:16:26,921 --> 00:16:29,955
She is Wrexham,
just like I feel that I am.
364
00:16:29,956 --> 00:16:34,293
And you know, for her to pull
on a Wrexham kit every week
365
00:16:34,294 --> 00:16:37,096
means the...
Means the world to her.
366
00:16:37,097 --> 00:16:38,231
You know, if she's here
367
00:16:38,232 --> 00:16:39,866
and she helps us gain promotion,
368
00:16:39,867 --> 00:16:42,134
it would be pretty special
for her, I would say.
369
00:16:42,135 --> 00:16:44,504
And you know, probably
more so than if it was
370
00:16:44,505 --> 00:16:47,473
any other club that she might
have been playing for.
371
00:16:47,474 --> 00:16:49,075
Almost since he's gone,
I've fell in love
372
00:16:49,076 --> 00:16:50,443
with the club even more.
373
00:16:50,444 --> 00:16:51,511
I honestly don't know
where I'd be
374
00:16:51,512 --> 00:16:53,046
if I didn't have that support
375
00:16:53,047 --> 00:16:54,681
and the people around the club
376
00:16:54,682 --> 00:16:56,282
who are there for me
all the time.
377
00:16:56,283 --> 00:16:59,986
I took his love...
Love on for it, really.
378
00:17:05,892 --> 00:17:08,561
Wrexham!
379
00:17:08,562 --> 00:17:11,030
Knackered now.
380
00:17:25,111 --> 00:17:27,413
You know,
football has, strangely,
381
00:17:27,414 --> 00:17:29,549
always been seen
as a boys' sport.
382
00:17:29,550 --> 00:17:33,319
Um, even though
the women's game was...
383
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,855
Was much, much, much bigger
than the men's game.
384
00:17:35,856 --> 00:17:37,623
So I think it's important
to have some context
385
00:17:37,624 --> 00:17:38,691
around women's football.
386
00:17:38,692 --> 00:17:41,127
Because, you know,
we've seen it of late.
387
00:17:41,128 --> 00:17:43,062
There's been this huge
increase in interest.
388
00:17:43,063 --> 00:17:44,597
England won the Euros.
389
00:17:44,598 --> 00:17:46,899
You know, the women's game
in the U.S. is really big.
390
00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:48,368
But for a long time,
women's football
391
00:17:48,369 --> 00:17:49,635
has been in the wilderness.
392
00:17:50,905 --> 00:17:52,872
Right back at its very origins
in the 1880s,
393
00:17:52,873 --> 00:17:56,776
there were big teams that drew
massive crowds across the UK
394
00:17:56,777 --> 00:17:59,578
and even internationally.
395
00:17:59,579 --> 00:18:01,313
Women's football got
a real shot in the arm
396
00:18:01,314 --> 00:18:02,682
during the First World War.
397
00:18:02,683 --> 00:18:04,584
With all of the men away
fighting in the trenches
398
00:18:04,585 --> 00:18:07,086
on the Western Front,
women's football was really
399
00:18:07,087 --> 00:18:08,354
kind of the only game in town.
400
00:18:08,355 --> 00:18:09,789
And even when
the men returned home,
401
00:18:09,790 --> 00:18:11,424
the women's game still
remained enormously popular.
402
00:18:11,425 --> 00:18:14,760
On December 26, 1920,
53,000 people turned out
403
00:18:14,761 --> 00:18:16,429
to watch a women's game.
404
00:18:16,430 --> 00:18:19,331
That is a crowd we can
only dream of at Wrexham
405
00:18:19,332 --> 00:18:21,534
these days, um, and speaks
406
00:18:21,535 --> 00:18:23,803
to the enormous
popularity of it.
407
00:18:23,804 --> 00:18:25,371
In fact, it was so popular
that it was deemed
408
00:18:25,372 --> 00:18:26,839
to be a threat
to the men's game,
409
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,043
and the FA took the step
in the following year, 1921,
410
00:18:30,044 --> 00:18:31,778
to ban all women
from playing football,
411
00:18:31,779 --> 00:18:35,047
saying, "The game of football
is unsuitable for females
412
00:18:35,048 --> 00:18:37,249
and ought not
to be encouraged."
413
00:18:37,250 --> 00:18:39,519
And they in fact banned
women's football
414
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:40,853
until the 1970s.
415
00:18:40,854 --> 00:18:43,489
So women's football
was banned until 1971,
416
00:18:43,490 --> 00:18:45,258
but a female football
committee at the FA
417
00:18:45,259 --> 00:18:47,560
was not set up until 1993.
418
00:18:47,561 --> 00:18:50,430
And thank goodness it was,
because without that,
419
00:18:50,431 --> 00:18:52,798
you wouldn't be seeing
all the many manifold triumphs
420
00:18:52,799 --> 00:18:54,200
of women's football today.
421
00:19:07,848 --> 00:19:09,581
Of course we want
to be a part of that,
422
00:19:09,582 --> 00:19:13,219
and it's definitely
a long road ahead,
423
00:19:13,220 --> 00:19:14,921
but it's worth it.
424
00:19:14,922 --> 00:19:17,290
Rob and Ryan, of course,
they're supporting us.
425
00:19:17,291 --> 00:19:19,125
And Blake, she obviously,
426
00:19:19,126 --> 00:19:21,026
um, sponsors our team as well.
427
00:19:21,027 --> 00:19:22,462
When I first started Betty Buzz,
428
00:19:22,463 --> 00:19:24,196
I set out to create
the best-tasting
429
00:19:24,197 --> 00:19:25,498
sparkling drink out there.
430
00:19:29,403 --> 00:19:31,070
It's pretty special
that they are
431
00:19:31,071 --> 00:19:32,705
supporting us in that way.
432
00:19:32,706 --> 00:19:35,774
And you know, that makes us,
as a team and as a section,
433
00:19:35,775 --> 00:19:38,712
feel... feel very, very much
part of the club.
434
00:19:42,216 --> 00:19:44,784
Gemma is the beating heart
of the entire...
435
00:19:44,785 --> 00:19:46,152
The entire club.
436
00:19:46,153 --> 00:19:48,187
I'd say Gemma's heart extends
437
00:19:48,188 --> 00:19:50,690
into the Wrexham
AFC men's club too.
438
00:19:50,691 --> 00:19:53,126
She's putting her last drop
of blood into this...
439
00:19:53,127 --> 00:19:54,994
This... this team, and...
440
00:19:54,995 --> 00:19:56,563
And building it and growing it.
441
00:19:56,564 --> 00:19:57,964
It's gonna be incredible.
442
00:19:57,965 --> 00:19:59,999
I'm really, really
excited about it.
443
00:20:02,135 --> 00:20:04,137
I oversee the entire women's
444
00:20:04,138 --> 00:20:05,705
and girls section at the club.
445
00:20:05,706 --> 00:20:09,709
So that's all the way
from our little under-eights
446
00:20:09,710 --> 00:20:12,278
all the way up
to our senior women's team,
447
00:20:12,279 --> 00:20:14,914
and organizing everything
in between, basically.
448
00:20:17,084 --> 00:20:18,685
I'm born and bred Wrexham.
449
00:20:18,686 --> 00:20:20,552
Always had a football
by my feet.
450
00:20:20,553 --> 00:20:23,055
Um, I've never really been
a girly-girl, if I'm honest.
451
00:20:23,056 --> 00:20:25,557
Um, yeah, I grew up with,
452
00:20:25,558 --> 00:20:27,126
you know,
going on the football field
453
00:20:27,127 --> 00:20:29,528
with the kids
that lived locally.
454
00:20:29,529 --> 00:20:31,297
There might have been
me and one other girl,
455
00:20:31,298 --> 00:20:33,266
and then the rest of them
were all boys.
456
00:20:33,267 --> 00:20:36,035
And that's... that...
Yeah, that was me.
457
00:20:36,036 --> 00:20:37,736
I loved it.
458
00:20:37,737 --> 00:20:40,339
My husband's Gareth Owen,
one of the best midfielders
459
00:20:40,340 --> 00:20:42,308
we've had at the club.
460
00:20:42,309 --> 00:20:46,079
His main sort of time period
was the '90s.
461
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,547
I grew up watching him, yeah,
462
00:20:47,548 --> 00:20:50,583
which was quite strange,
you know, going back to
463
00:20:50,584 --> 00:20:52,919
when you used to stand
at the side of the pitch
464
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,454
and high-fiving players.
465
00:20:54,455 --> 00:20:55,921
Yeah, that was...
He was one of them,
466
00:20:55,922 --> 00:20:57,990
which is a little bit weird, but...
467
00:20:57,991 --> 00:21:01,227
he is now the under-19's manager
468
00:21:01,228 --> 00:21:03,663
with our women's side as well.
469
00:21:03,664 --> 00:21:05,765
I try and learn as much
as I can off him,
470
00:21:05,766 --> 00:21:07,500
and... yeah, he's... he's great.
471
00:21:07,501 --> 00:21:09,735
He's... he's playing a big part,
at the moment,
472
00:21:09,736 --> 00:21:12,071
in the growth
of our women's side as well.
473
00:21:12,072 --> 00:21:14,373
We will not be putting you
up front again.
474
00:21:14,374 --> 00:21:16,642
No, Gem, listen!
Full-size... my...
475
00:21:18,078 --> 00:21:21,381
Gemma Owen,
head of all female...
476
00:21:21,382 --> 00:21:23,049
everything that goes on
at Wrexham.
477
00:21:23,050 --> 00:21:24,317
No! Next one.
478
00:21:24,318 --> 00:21:26,152
Come on, Grace.
It's got to be you.
479
00:21:26,153 --> 00:21:27,820
I don't think football for women
480
00:21:27,821 --> 00:21:30,456
would be as big as it is in
Wrexham if it wasn't for her.
481
00:21:30,457 --> 00:21:34,527
So North Wales can basically
thank Gemma Owen for that.
482
00:21:38,298 --> 00:21:41,367
I'm trying to give
as many girls and women
483
00:21:41,368 --> 00:21:44,204
the opportunity to get
involved with what I think is
484
00:21:44,205 --> 00:21:46,806
the best sport in the world.
485
00:21:46,807 --> 00:21:50,343
And being in amongst the club
that I have been supporting
486
00:21:50,344 --> 00:21:53,546
for my entire life is...
487
00:21:53,547 --> 00:21:54,914
It's a dream.
488
00:21:54,915 --> 00:21:56,650
It is an absolute dream.
489
00:22:04,091 --> 00:22:05,558
It's Connah's Quay.
490
00:22:05,559 --> 00:22:07,160
They make me nervous.
And they're awful.
491
00:22:07,161 --> 00:22:09,563
They're not nice players, either.
492
00:22:11,932 --> 00:22:14,233
We're top of the league now,
493
00:22:14,234 --> 00:22:16,336
and they're only...
They're second,
494
00:22:16,337 --> 00:22:17,870
but with two points below us.
495
00:22:17,871 --> 00:22:19,004
So obviously, if they win,
496
00:22:19,005 --> 00:22:20,039
they're gonna go back
497
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,607
to the top of the league.
498
00:22:21,608 --> 00:22:23,076
Um...
499
00:22:24,578 --> 00:22:25,912
In the changing rooms, like,
500
00:22:25,913 --> 00:22:27,814
I know, like,
everyone will be nervous.
501
00:22:27,815 --> 00:22:29,315
And it gets to you.
502
00:22:29,316 --> 00:22:30,449
You can either get...
Let the pressure get to you,
503
00:22:30,450 --> 00:22:33,519
or you can perform really well.
504
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,521
We used to have these feelings
against Llandudno,
505
00:22:35,522 --> 00:22:39,358
because last season, they were
probably our main competitors.
506
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,327
But this season,
it's been Connah's Quay.
507
00:22:41,328 --> 00:22:43,696
So it's 90 minutes, isn't it?
508
00:22:43,697 --> 00:22:45,932
And we all... we can be
better than them.
509
00:22:45,933 --> 00:22:48,734
We can beat any team
if we put our minds to it.
510
00:22:48,735 --> 00:22:52,172
Just have to do the easy ball.
Just play football.
511
00:23:02,082 --> 00:23:04,050
Quite a big game for us today.
512
00:23:04,051 --> 00:23:05,751
Top of the table clash.
513
00:23:05,752 --> 00:23:07,520
And we've still got to play
them twice in the league.
514
00:23:07,521 --> 00:23:10,089
So, you know, these...
These two games
515
00:23:10,090 --> 00:23:13,026
are gonna be vitally important
to us hopefully,
516
00:23:13,027 --> 00:23:15,027
fingers crossed,
winning the title.
517
00:23:15,028 --> 00:23:17,397
So I think
it'll be a close game.
518
00:23:17,398 --> 00:23:21,067
I don't expect anything other
than it being a close game.
519
00:23:22,202 --> 00:23:23,369
Right.
520
00:23:23,370 --> 00:23:25,738
We've said everything
that we need to say, okay?
521
00:23:25,739 --> 00:23:28,641
We don't need to sell it
to you anymore, okay?
522
00:23:28,642 --> 00:23:32,278
It's a game, okay, that we have
to take seriously, okay?
523
00:23:32,279 --> 00:23:33,679
We've got to be aggressive
524
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,115
with and without
the ball today, all right?
525
00:23:36,116 --> 00:23:37,249
So let's make sure
that we get bodies
526
00:23:37,250 --> 00:23:39,285
in and around the box, okay?
527
00:23:39,286 --> 00:23:41,087
Be patient
with each other as well.
528
00:23:41,088 --> 00:23:43,188
Come on, girls.
Yeah. Big fucking 90.
529
00:23:43,189 --> 00:23:44,924
Come on. Come on.
530
00:23:44,925 --> 00:23:46,126
Here they come now.
531
00:23:48,596 --> 00:23:50,396
They look ready.
532
00:23:50,397 --> 00:23:52,198
On your toes, girls!
533
00:23:57,638 --> 00:23:59,806
Yeah, just screen
in front of your toes.
534
00:23:59,807 --> 00:24:01,241
Yes. Through toes.
535
00:24:01,242 --> 00:24:03,202
You can see that we're both
very, very good teams.
536
00:24:05,712 --> 00:24:08,648
And probably deserve to be
in the Welsh Prem, to be fair.
537
00:24:15,956 --> 00:24:17,289
Connah's Quay!
538
00:24:17,290 --> 00:24:18,758
Connah's Quay!
539
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:20,226
Is wonderful!
540
00:24:20,227 --> 00:24:21,660
Is wonderful!
541
00:24:21,661 --> 00:24:23,162
Their coaching staff
are very barky.
542
00:24:23,163 --> 00:24:24,563
The players are very barky.
543
00:24:24,564 --> 00:24:27,266
And a few tough decisions
made against us,
544
00:24:27,267 --> 00:24:31,338
and we have to bark back
louder than that.
545
00:24:32,973 --> 00:24:35,007
Rosie.
Straight in on it, mate.
546
00:24:35,008 --> 00:24:36,108
Straight in on it.
547
00:24:36,109 --> 00:24:38,244
Come on, Wrexham!
548
00:24:38,245 --> 00:24:40,746
I think that we managed
to do that.
549
00:24:54,995 --> 00:24:57,430
- Get them!
- Whoo!
550
00:25:01,435 --> 00:25:02,936
Everyone there put
their body on the line.
551
00:25:02,937 --> 00:25:05,604
The tackles were...
Tackles were being put in,
552
00:25:05,605 --> 00:25:07,407
passes were being made quickly.
553
00:25:07,408 --> 00:25:11,311
And you know, when one player
was going 10%, we were...
554
00:25:11,312 --> 00:25:13,579
10% less, we were just
getting that extra 10%
555
00:25:13,580 --> 00:25:15,648
from somewhere else.
556
00:25:23,223 --> 00:25:25,992
We've got a good... good little
team going, I think.
557
00:25:38,972 --> 00:25:41,674
Go on! Yeah!
558
00:25:41,675 --> 00:25:42,942
Listen in.
559
00:25:42,943 --> 00:25:44,510
Today, I couldn't give a shit
560
00:25:44,511 --> 00:25:45,878
how you win a game of football.
561
00:25:45,879 --> 00:25:47,479
It's about fucking digging in
and making sure
562
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:48,814
that we win a game of football.
563
00:25:48,815 --> 00:25:50,316
We fucking enjoy it right now,
564
00:25:50,317 --> 00:25:52,185
and we enjoy it tomorrow
in the gym.
565
00:25:52,186 --> 00:25:54,386
Tuesday, Wednesday,
our fucking heads turn now.
566
00:25:54,387 --> 00:25:56,322
Sunday, we get it
fucking wrapped up.
567
00:25:56,323 --> 00:25:57,690
We win the fucking league
568
00:25:57,691 --> 00:25:59,171
and get everything
we fucking deserve.
569
00:26:04,598 --> 00:26:06,832
Yeah, I'm so proud of my team.
570
00:26:06,833 --> 00:26:08,835
Proper happy.
Excited, buzzing.
571
00:26:08,836 --> 00:26:10,369
Feeling amazing.
572
00:26:10,370 --> 00:26:12,138
Just, can't contain
my excitement, really.
573
00:26:30,891 --> 00:26:32,692
It's just...
It's unbelievable, isn't it?
574
00:26:32,693 --> 00:26:34,360
Putting that...
Putting that shirt on
575
00:26:34,361 --> 00:26:35,795
and... and playing
for that badge is something
576
00:26:35,796 --> 00:26:38,030
that every single girl
on the team knows...
577
00:26:38,031 --> 00:26:39,465
Knows what that weight carries.
578
00:26:39,466 --> 00:26:42,935
And you know,
putting two, then three,
579
00:26:42,936 --> 00:26:44,503
is... it's just
an unbelievable feeling,
580
00:26:44,504 --> 00:26:46,706
and I can't wait to do it
again next Sunday.
581
00:26:54,815 --> 00:26:59,018
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the 1864 Suite.
582
00:26:59,019 --> 00:27:00,186
I've got to introduce
583
00:27:00,187 --> 00:27:02,555
our former player guests
for tonight.
584
00:27:02,556 --> 00:27:04,891
Making his Football League
debut for Wrexham
585
00:27:04,892 --> 00:27:09,095
in September 1997, he also won
two Welsh Premier cup medals,
586
00:27:09,096 --> 00:27:11,297
and also played for Wales
at full international.
587
00:27:11,298 --> 00:27:13,933
He is a Wrexham lad.
Neil Roberts, everybody.
588
00:27:22,743 --> 00:27:24,977
Your time at Wrexham, Neil...
What was the highlight for you?
589
00:27:24,978 --> 00:27:26,679
You know, I'm standing here now,
590
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,382
and I'm still in awe of Mickey,
sat at the table there,
591
00:27:29,383 --> 00:27:31,951
'cause he was
one of my heroes growing up.
592
00:27:31,952 --> 00:27:34,487
More importantly than anything
is having my daughter,
593
00:27:34,488 --> 00:27:36,622
one of my daughters,
here tonight, who represents
594
00:27:36,623 --> 00:27:38,424
the women's football team
for Wrexham.
595
00:27:38,425 --> 00:27:39,425
And...
596
00:27:45,065 --> 00:27:47,333
I don't remember
football ever being something
597
00:27:47,334 --> 00:27:49,502
that wasn't part of my life.
598
00:27:49,503 --> 00:27:51,971
As soon as I could walk,
I think I was kicking a ball,
599
00:27:51,972 --> 00:27:53,806
as the clichรฉ goes.
600
00:27:53,807 --> 00:27:57,009
We had Mia when I was...
I was 24.
601
00:27:57,010 --> 00:27:58,444
Came as really no surprise
602
00:27:58,445 --> 00:28:02,015
for her to go down
the footballing route.
603
00:28:04,684 --> 00:28:08,855
First time to have
a look through it together.
604
00:28:08,856 --> 00:28:13,392
It's basically something
my, um, nana put together, to...
605
00:28:13,393 --> 00:28:16,329
For me and my brother
and sister to have to,
606
00:28:16,330 --> 00:28:19,699
you know, look back on
to see your little...
607
00:28:19,700 --> 00:28:21,200
Little career.
608
00:28:21,201 --> 00:28:24,871
Um, it captures basically
the last few seasons
609
00:28:24,872 --> 00:28:26,005
of your career, really.
610
00:28:26,006 --> 00:28:28,140
Yeah, last couple seasons.
611
00:28:28,141 --> 00:28:32,312
"Local hero Roberts
keeps Dragons in hunt."
612
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,548
That season started
613
00:28:35,549 --> 00:28:37,450
on a... on a massive high for me,
614
00:28:37,451 --> 00:28:39,685
because I was captain
of my hometown club.
615
00:28:39,686 --> 00:28:44,290
Um, there was a... there was
a very good squad in place.
616
00:28:44,291 --> 00:28:46,158
And then, unfortunately,
it kind of took
617
00:28:46,159 --> 00:28:47,627
a turn for the worse.
618
00:28:47,628 --> 00:28:49,762
A couple of players
moved on to...
619
00:28:49,763 --> 00:28:52,431
To what was
better opportunities for them,
620
00:28:52,432 --> 00:28:54,333
and we became
a very young squad.
621
00:28:54,334 --> 00:28:58,571
This is the painful bit.
622
00:28:58,572 --> 00:29:00,974
End of an era.
623
00:29:00,975 --> 00:29:03,476
Yeah. That's me in tears.
624
00:29:03,477 --> 00:29:08,114
See, like, to read that,
it just...
625
00:29:08,115 --> 00:29:10,583
No, it's not...
It breaks my heart.
626
00:29:10,584 --> 00:29:11,618
It breaks my heart.
627
00:29:11,619 --> 00:29:13,019
Um...
628
00:29:13,020 --> 00:29:15,287
All right.
Talk about this in a second.
629
00:29:15,288 --> 00:29:16,856
Wrexham are out
of the Football League.
630
00:29:16,857 --> 00:29:20,193
They've lost by 2 goals to 0
this evening at Edgar Street.
631
00:29:20,194 --> 00:29:21,594
Gary Hooper to the first half.
632
00:29:21,595 --> 00:29:23,362
Theo Robinson,
his first goal in six...
633
00:29:23,363 --> 00:29:25,297
It did feel like a nightmare.
634
00:29:25,298 --> 00:29:27,433
And for me personally, it...
It was really tough,
635
00:29:27,434 --> 00:29:29,702
because I was captain
of the team that...
636
00:29:29,703 --> 00:29:31,137
That got relegated.
637
00:29:31,138 --> 00:29:33,139
So, you know, that was a...
That was a tough pill
638
00:29:33,140 --> 00:29:36,809
to swallow for me, really,
and still is to this day.
639
00:29:36,810 --> 00:29:40,580
My personal take on it
is that it's, um...
640
00:29:40,581 --> 00:29:43,282
It... it did take
a big piece of me.
641
00:29:43,283 --> 00:29:45,918
And I think it caught up
with me in... in later life,
642
00:29:45,919 --> 00:29:47,854
and I became
a little bit distant.
643
00:29:47,855 --> 00:29:49,388
And you know, maybe...
644
00:29:49,389 --> 00:29:52,391
Maybe, to a point,
a different person as well.
645
00:29:52,392 --> 00:29:55,694
It's had a massive effect
on my... on my life,
646
00:29:55,695 --> 00:29:57,730
especially from
a family point of view.
647
00:29:57,731 --> 00:29:59,766
It was hard for us
to go out as a family
648
00:29:59,767 --> 00:30:03,135
without being subject
to certain things being said.
649
00:30:03,136 --> 00:30:05,004
Because, you know, obviously,
650
00:30:05,005 --> 00:30:06,873
the club does mean
that much to people.
651
00:30:06,874 --> 00:30:08,475
And that obviously
shouldn't happen.
652
00:30:08,476 --> 00:30:10,443
But you can see
why it does happen,
653
00:30:10,444 --> 00:30:13,646
because if they're gonna put
fault on someone, the captain,
654
00:30:13,647 --> 00:30:16,115
you know, he's... he's well
up there in, you know,
655
00:30:16,116 --> 00:30:18,217
people to... to blame.
656
00:30:18,218 --> 00:30:20,619
Didn't know it was
after 87 years.
657
00:30:20,620 --> 00:30:22,588
Yeah.
658
00:30:25,893 --> 00:30:28,995
You say all the right
things to make me feel better.
659
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,135
This season, for me, is...
It's more than football.
660
00:30:36,136 --> 00:30:39,739
It might allow me a new...
A new start, in many ways,
661
00:30:39,740 --> 00:30:43,008
and a new... a new chapter
662
00:30:43,009 --> 00:30:45,511
in my life and my family's life.
663
00:30:45,512 --> 00:30:48,381
You know, that's the one thing
that Rob and Ryan have
664
00:30:48,382 --> 00:30:51,551
given everybody in the town,
is... is belief.
665
00:30:51,552 --> 00:30:55,455
Is belief and a kind of
"dare to dream" sort of thing.
666
00:30:56,757 --> 00:31:00,159
Basically just a summary
and a plan
667
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,628
for... for me to finish this
668
00:31:01,629 --> 00:31:03,730
when Wrexham got back
in the league.
669
00:31:03,731 --> 00:31:05,498
Touch wood.
670
00:31:05,499 --> 00:31:08,134
Hopefully... hopefully we get
to finish it in a few months.
671
00:31:08,135 --> 00:31:11,037
Women's there, men's there.
672
00:31:11,038 --> 00:31:13,372
Let's hope...
Let's hope we do it.
673
00:31:13,373 --> 00:31:14,274
Yeah.
674
00:31:14,275 --> 00:31:15,675
But we'll do that together.
675
00:31:15,676 --> 00:31:17,943
Yeah.
676
00:31:17,944 --> 00:31:19,145
All right.
677
00:31:27,254 --> 00:31:29,021
How you doing?
You all right?
678
00:31:29,022 --> 00:31:30,523
- Good to see you.
- You all right, mate?
679
00:31:30,524 --> 00:31:32,958
- Thank you.
- How are we? Okay?
680
00:31:36,497 --> 00:31:38,130
As the Wrexham men continue
681
00:31:38,131 --> 00:31:39,966
to battle for promotion,
the women's team
682
00:31:39,967 --> 00:31:42,768
is nearing their finish line
with a critical match
683
00:31:42,769 --> 00:31:44,237
this weekend away to Rhyl.
684
00:31:44,238 --> 00:31:46,706
Win this one, and they'll
have won the league
685
00:31:46,707 --> 00:31:49,642
and set themselves up
for a significant promotion
686
00:31:49,643 --> 00:31:52,312
up the football pyramid.
687
00:31:52,313 --> 00:31:53,613
The women's team are
coming off the back
688
00:31:53,614 --> 00:31:55,347
of their big win
against Connah's Quay
689
00:31:55,348 --> 00:31:56,749
and they're looking
really confident,
690
00:31:56,750 --> 00:31:58,250
as well they should.
691
00:31:58,251 --> 00:32:01,654
If they win this game,
they clinch the league.
692
00:32:01,655 --> 00:32:05,057
The fact that we could
win the league is massive.
693
00:32:05,058 --> 00:32:06,392
That's what all the girls want.
694
00:32:06,393 --> 00:32:08,328
We want to take this
to the next level,
695
00:32:08,329 --> 00:32:11,096
and we want to make the town
and the owners proud, really.
696
00:32:11,097 --> 00:32:15,267
So we will do whatever it takes
to win that game.
697
00:32:15,268 --> 00:32:17,069
You've got to give Rhyl credit,
698
00:32:17,070 --> 00:32:18,638
because they held Connah's Quay,
699
00:32:18,639 --> 00:32:20,273
they held Llandudno,
700
00:32:20,274 --> 00:32:22,041
and only just lost out
2-1 there.
701
00:32:22,042 --> 00:32:23,609
So they're not gonna roll over.
702
00:32:23,610 --> 00:32:25,211
It's not gonna be easy.
703
00:32:25,212 --> 00:32:26,980
We know that we're
going away from home.
704
00:32:26,981 --> 00:32:30,750
And again, like, we've spoke
about that target on our back.
705
00:32:30,751 --> 00:32:32,552
You know, they'll want
to spoil the party, really.
706
00:32:32,553 --> 00:32:34,987
They're not gonna...
They're not gonna enjoy us,
707
00:32:34,988 --> 00:32:36,956
you know, beating them
and celebrating
708
00:32:36,957 --> 00:32:38,658
winning the league
at their place.
709
00:32:38,659 --> 00:32:40,626
I'll try not to look
as ill as I did last week.
710
00:32:40,627 --> 00:32:42,729
Yeah.
711
00:32:42,730 --> 00:32:44,097
Yeah.
712
00:32:44,098 --> 00:32:45,498
That was
some pressure last week.
713
00:32:45,499 --> 00:32:47,166
The girls did
really well, though.
714
00:32:47,167 --> 00:32:48,835
Because they knew
what was at stake last week.
715
00:32:48,836 --> 00:32:50,170
Yeah.
716
00:32:50,171 --> 00:32:51,470
And just how resilient
they were.
717
00:32:51,471 --> 00:32:52,671
They were brilliant.
718
00:32:52,672 --> 00:32:54,140
They were brilliant.
719
00:32:54,141 --> 00:32:55,608
Got to get the job done
first, though.
720
00:32:55,609 --> 00:32:57,343
Go on. Definitely.
721
00:32:57,344 --> 00:32:58,878
Excited for it.
Let's do it.
722
00:32:58,879 --> 00:33:00,379
Let's smash it.
Let's beat them.
723
00:33:00,380 --> 00:33:01,814
'Cause we can.
We have done.
724
00:33:01,815 --> 00:33:03,549
So yeah, we'll do it.
725
00:33:03,550 --> 00:33:05,084
And hopefully the pressure
of a cup game
726
00:33:05,085 --> 00:33:06,486
won't get to us,
'cause it's the league.
727
00:33:06,487 --> 00:33:08,288
And obviously,
we've, um, won every game
728
00:33:08,289 --> 00:33:09,855
so far in the league.
729
00:33:09,856 --> 00:33:12,792
So hopefully we just continue
our, um, winning streak.
730
00:33:16,830 --> 00:33:19,598
We know exactly
what we've got to do, okay?
731
00:33:19,599 --> 00:33:22,135
We cannot make sure
that we obviously
732
00:33:22,136 --> 00:33:23,535
take this game lightly.
733
00:33:23,536 --> 00:33:25,538
These won't want to see us
to come here
734
00:33:25,539 --> 00:33:27,306
and turn them over,
simple as that.
735
00:33:27,307 --> 00:33:28,808
Last week was a slog.
736
00:33:28,809 --> 00:33:31,577
This week, let the football
do the talking.
737
00:33:31,578 --> 00:33:33,513
Get the ball down.
Use the pitch.
738
00:33:33,514 --> 00:33:35,548
How good does that feel,
coming in,
739
00:33:35,549 --> 00:33:37,850
when you've got 50-odd people
giving you a clap?
740
00:33:37,851 --> 00:33:39,318
Yeah? All right.
741
00:33:39,319 --> 00:33:40,887
That's the ambition, yeah?
742
00:33:40,888 --> 00:33:42,589
That's the drive, okay?
743
00:33:42,590 --> 00:33:44,758
Let's send them home
fucking happy,
744
00:33:44,759 --> 00:33:48,061
and let's send them home that
we fucking played well today,
745
00:33:48,062 --> 00:33:50,429
and we've done
our fucking jobs, okay?
746
00:33:50,430 --> 00:33:52,331
No regrets
at the end of this game.
747
00:33:52,332 --> 00:33:55,001
Come on. Let's go.
748
00:33:57,238 --> 00:33:58,838
Come on, then, girls!
749
00:33:58,839 --> 00:33:59,872
Relax, Lil!
750
00:33:59,873 --> 00:34:01,274
Other side, Lili!
751
00:34:01,275 --> 00:34:03,008
Their confidence was warranted.
752
00:34:03,009 --> 00:34:04,277
And they came flying
out of the traps
753
00:34:04,278 --> 00:34:05,878
and scored three early goals.
754
00:34:11,885 --> 00:34:13,886
Whoo!
755
00:34:21,795 --> 00:34:24,430
So I'm delighted to say,
look who's next to me here.
756
00:34:24,431 --> 00:34:25,898
- Hello.
- Mr. Humphrey Ker is
757
00:34:25,899 --> 00:34:26,932
at the game today.
758
00:34:26,933 --> 00:34:28,001
Fantastic.
759
00:34:28,002 --> 00:34:29,168
What do you think so far?
760
00:34:29,169 --> 00:34:30,469
It's going well.
3-0 up.
761
00:34:30,470 --> 00:34:32,104
We just... just missed a penalty,
762
00:34:32,105 --> 00:34:33,439
but I'm hoping
that won't come back
763
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:34,773
to haunt us in the second half.
764
00:34:34,774 --> 00:34:36,108
But yeah, it's going well.
765
00:34:36,109 --> 00:34:37,343
Obviously,
three points here means...
766
00:34:37,344 --> 00:34:39,245
Means the title, so... um, yeah.
767
00:34:39,246 --> 00:34:40,446
It's a great day.
768
00:34:48,722 --> 00:34:50,456
Yes, when people talk about
the beautiful game,
769
00:34:50,457 --> 00:34:53,392
they often, summon
the spirit of 1970s Brazil.
770
00:34:53,393 --> 00:34:55,261
But I think those people
maybe haven't seen
771
00:34:55,262 --> 00:34:56,830
2023 Wrexham women.
772
00:35:03,203 --> 00:35:05,004
Rosie Hughes is unbelievable.
773
00:35:05,005 --> 00:35:06,339
I've been lucky enough
to see her
774
00:35:06,340 --> 00:35:07,573
a couple of times in action now.
775
00:35:07,574 --> 00:35:09,475
And you know,
she's a Wrexham legend.
776
00:35:09,476 --> 00:35:11,110
Yeah, I'm really chuffed
for her.
777
00:35:11,111 --> 00:35:12,645
I'm really chuffed
for all the girls,
778
00:35:12,646 --> 00:35:14,413
and it'd be great to have
a double celebration
779
00:35:14,414 --> 00:35:15,882
at the end of the season.
780
00:35:15,883 --> 00:35:17,149
Thank you very much.
781
00:35:17,150 --> 00:35:20,319
Cheers, Tommy. Take care.
782
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,488
They're working hard,
working as a unit,
783
00:35:22,489 --> 00:35:25,124
and frankly putting Rhyl
to the sword.
784
00:35:25,125 --> 00:35:26,559
Go on.
785
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,596
Yes!
786
00:35:33,734 --> 00:35:36,435
Come on, Rosie.
787
00:35:36,436 --> 00:35:38,738
Yes!
788
00:35:51,952 --> 00:35:54,053
Yes!
789
00:35:56,389 --> 00:35:58,524
So the full-time
score is Rhyl 1,
790
00:35:58,525 --> 00:36:00,293
Wrexham 11,
which is an unbelievable way
791
00:36:00,294 --> 00:36:03,063
to end the Adran North League.
792
00:36:08,969 --> 00:36:12,805
However, unfortunately,
despite having won the title
793
00:36:12,806 --> 00:36:14,474
of the Adran Northern League...
794
00:36:14,475 --> 00:36:17,843
And that's a fantastic
achievement in and of itself...
795
00:36:17,844 --> 00:36:19,846
It doesn't yet mean promotion.
796
00:36:19,847 --> 00:36:21,948
There remains the playoff game
against the winners
797
00:36:21,949 --> 00:36:25,451
of the Adran South,
and that is Briton Ferry.
798
00:36:25,452 --> 00:36:28,487
So we've still got
one more game.
799
00:36:34,495 --> 00:36:35,728
Amazing.
800
00:36:35,729 --> 00:36:37,897
I mean, it feels like
all the hard work's paid off.
801
00:36:37,898 --> 00:36:39,165
We should have done it
last season,
802
00:36:39,166 --> 00:36:41,700
and... and to do it
in an 11-1 win today
803
00:36:41,701 --> 00:36:42,935
and get a goal for meself,
804
00:36:42,936 --> 00:36:44,670
it is a dream come true,
to be honest.
805
00:36:44,671 --> 00:36:46,405
And to do it for this badge
as well is...
806
00:36:46,406 --> 00:36:47,940
Yeah, it means everything to me.
807
00:36:47,941 --> 00:36:50,743
You know, playing for this club
and doing it for these people
808
00:36:50,744 --> 00:36:52,878
is... is something
I've always dreamed of doing,
809
00:36:52,879 --> 00:36:54,213
and the fact that I've done it
810
00:36:54,214 --> 00:36:56,983
is something
I'll always be proud of.
811
00:36:56,984 --> 00:36:58,585
We won the league.
812
00:36:58,586 --> 00:37:01,087
However, that didn't guarantee
automatic promotion.
813
00:37:01,088 --> 00:37:02,555
But we'd still won our league.
814
00:37:02,556 --> 00:37:04,824
And I thought that
that was really important
815
00:37:04,825 --> 00:37:06,659
that we celebrated that,
816
00:37:06,660 --> 00:37:08,460
for the girls to have
their celebration.
817
00:37:08,461 --> 00:37:10,529
Because if we didn't go up,
818
00:37:10,530 --> 00:37:12,498
it was still
an incredible achievement.
819
00:37:22,242 --> 00:37:24,144
There's a little message
for you here,
820
00:37:24,145 --> 00:37:27,280
from one of our chairmen.
821
00:37:27,281 --> 00:37:28,781
Hey there,
this is just a quick message
822
00:37:28,782 --> 00:37:30,416
for the Wrexham AFC women.
823
00:37:30,417 --> 00:37:32,852
I, um... boy.
824
00:37:32,853 --> 00:37:35,087
I just want to say
congratulations on... on, um...
825
00:37:35,088 --> 00:37:38,257
On one of the most incredible
and historic seasons,
826
00:37:38,258 --> 00:37:42,061
so far, um, we've ever had.
827
00:37:42,062 --> 00:37:46,132
Um, you know, by we,
I mean this club and you.
828
00:37:46,133 --> 00:37:48,200
You guys have been putting up
829
00:37:48,201 --> 00:37:49,902
what I guess could
only be described
830
00:37:49,903 --> 00:37:51,303
as basketball scores.
831
00:37:51,304 --> 00:37:53,139
It's been incredible.
832
00:37:53,140 --> 00:37:56,176
Um, and I just want
to say congratulations,
833
00:37:56,177 --> 00:37:58,044
and thank you,
834
00:37:58,045 --> 00:38:01,414
for putting your heart, soul,
and last drop of blood
835
00:38:01,415 --> 00:38:02,782
into every single one
of these matches.
836
00:38:02,783 --> 00:38:05,417
Um, each and every one of you
are heroes.
837
00:38:05,418 --> 00:38:08,521
And I'm sending you tons
of love from... from New York.
838
00:38:08,522 --> 00:38:10,356
- Love you, Ryan.
- There we go.
839
00:38:26,106 --> 00:38:29,042
Working in football
is incredibly difficult.
840
00:38:29,043 --> 00:38:30,910
It's... it's a lot of time.
841
00:38:30,911 --> 00:38:32,611
There's a lot of hours
that go into it.
842
00:38:34,981 --> 00:38:39,285
But it's all worth it when
you can help play some part,
843
00:38:39,286 --> 00:38:41,120
however small,
into growing the club
844
00:38:41,121 --> 00:38:43,189
that you have idolized
for your entire life.
845
00:38:43,190 --> 00:38:46,826
It means the absolute world.
It really does.
