Dad, what are we
going to do in March then
for your one hundredth?

Now, let'’s get
the important things
sorted first.

Which games are around
your-- around your birthday?

There'’s one
before your birthday.

The one a couple of days after
is Tranmere at home.

- Oh, well--
That'’d be
the one, wouldn'’t it?

- Well, yeah.
- That'’d be a good one,
wouldn'’t it?

- So we'’ll celebrate
your birthday there.
Yeah.

Then we'’ll organize
something else

for the non-footballing members
of the family.

But what are the highs, Dad,
you had over the 90 years?

Yeah.

Yeah.
Yeah.

It'’s the match that Lee Jones
will remember forever

because he scored all five.

Lee scoring five
against Cambridge.

That was another high,
wasn'’t it?

Yeah.

Nice play Okonkwo.

Yeah, great goalkeeping
from Arthur Okonkwo

we saw at the corner
a minute before.

Doesn'’t know
where he is. He'’s dizzy,
lightheaded, feels sick.

You'’re not gonna be able
to continue like that, are you?

- No.
- No.

You'’ve got to start thinking

second concussion, yeah?

More likely from the impact.

How are we doing?
I'’m good.

Still-- Still a lot of pain.

I don'’t know. I think it
doesn'’t feel quite right.

We'’ve obviously done the X-ray,

which has showed
the ramus fracture,
which is where you'’re feeling--

you'’re feeling your pain
when-- when you open
and close your mouth.

I'’ve had surgeries,
I'’ve had other injuries,

but I think
this one was definitely
my most painful period

just because of where we are
in the season.

After post-surgery,
how long is it normally
before get training again?

Yeah. Based on this type
of injury and experience
of dealing with it before,

we'’re probably looking,
best-case scenario,

with this one anywhere sort of
between two to six weeks.

But obviously, we'’re gonna
be aiming more towards

the two to three weeks
to get you back.

I couldn'’t chew.

So a lot of my diet
involved soups,
and smoothies, yogurts.

I lost around--
Over four kilograms.

Yeah, you'’re just in
a bad place.

And then being on the sidelines
and not watching the games--

Not my best-- my best time.

We'’ve had a lot of ins and outs
with goalkeepers

over the last couple of years.

You know, we had Bob Langton
starting out when he came in,

and Christian Dibble
as his very able backup.

Mark Howard bookending
Ben Foster'’s epic run.

- Saved!
- Foster was with us
for just eight games

at the end of last season
and five for the start
of this one.

And now we'’ve got
Arthur Okonkwo, who is
currently injured and on loan.

When you sign a player
on a loan, you'’re doing it
because you'’ve got a need.

And we could go out
and buy an experienced player,

but sometimes you can bring
a player in who'’s on a journey

in their own career,

which probably goes past
the level and standard
that you'’re at

but needs to find somewhere
to be able to prove themself.

In this case, Arthur has
temporarily left Arsenal

and joined us here at Wrexham
to get more playing time.

Now, here'’s the catch.

These loans occur during
the normal transfer windows
during the summer.

And in January, if Arsenal
suddenly need Arthur back,

they can recall him
for their squad at any time

during the January
transfer window.

For instance, this season,

Newcastle loaned midfielder
Joe White to Crewe Alexandra.

He did quite well for them.
They'’d have loved to
have kept him on

to help them in their push
for promotion to League One.

But Newcastle recalled him back
in the January transfer window.

David Beckham had
a hugely successful stint
for Preston North End

before being recalled
after a month on loan,
earlier in his career.

David Beckham'’s needed
little time to make his mark.

The better the player does
with their temporary team,

the more likely it is
that they will be called back.

So it'’s not
a permanent solution,
and it'’s not without risk.

We are working with
a Premier League-level keeper

who just happens to be young

and doesn'’t have a place
on the Arsenal squad yet.

It would be as if it'’s 1985

and the Chicago Bulls
draft Michael Jordan.

And they'’re like, "Well,
you'’re, like, 20-year-old kid."

And the Philadelphia 76ers
are like,

"Hey, guess what, Chicago,
we'’ll just take him
off your hands

for, like, two, three years,
and then we'’ll just build him up

'’cause he can start with us,
then he can come back to you."

Then he comes to Philly
and wins, like,
three championships.

They'’re like, "Great.
We'’re gonna start a dynasty."

And then Chicago
is like, "Fuck off.
We'’re taking him back."

- Yeah.
- That'’s exactly what it is.

It may sound weird to Americans,
but we'’ve been doing this
for a while.

Yeah, Tim.
That draw against Harrogate
was a bitter one

as we were two-nil up,
but results elsewhere
went our way.

We'’re actually second as we
take on Colchester at home.

Hello
and welcome to the Racecourse.

Wrexham against
Colchester United today.

Wrexham, one change.
Mark Howard in goal.

It'’s not easy
when you'’re a goalkeeper

coming on off the bench
because it'’s different
than an outfielder.

You can'’t run around
and get yourself going.

...back to him,
but he'’s spread out wide.

Fevrier again,
up against O'’Connor.

Interesting little battle, this.

You'’re straight back
into take goal kicks,

come for crosses, make saves.

Can he get the shot off?
He does.

Good save by Howard
low to his left.

But there'’s a warning shot.
Fevrier'’s always lively.

Attaboy, Mark.

If I'’m called upon,
if I'’m needed, I'm ready.

And that'’s all you
can ever try and do.

The long throw,
deep in the six-yard box.

Helped on. Lee hits it.
It'’s blocked. Lee again!

- Wrexham score!
- Yeah! Yeah!

His first shot'’s blocked.

It comes back out.

Right-footed finish
from close range.
Happy birthday, Mr. Lee.

- Keep competing.
Tozer. Nods it down.

Doesn'’t find Jay,
but he miscontrols it.

Now can Cannon,
who'’s looked very impressive
so far, start something?

Well, Evans is off here.

- Yeah, he'’s off.
- Cannon-- It'’s
a straight red as well.

Fucking hell!

So in football, the referee
has really one mechanism

for disciplining players
during games.

That is the yellow
and red card system.

- Well, he'’s--
- I think it'’s rightly so,
to be honest.

Yeah, it looked like a red
from where I'’m sitting.

In this case,
the dreaded red card is used
for more excessive infractions,

resulting in the player'’s
immediate dismissal.

So, Evans sent off.

But that changes the dynamic
of the game massively.

Ah-ha-ha!

- Fuck!
Leaving the team
down to ten men.

Unfortunately
for Wrexham, it'’s gonna be
a hell of a tough game now.

Keep scrapping for everything!
Come on!

Cross is headed partly away.

Read heads it back
in the goalmouth.

Mendy pokes it clear.

Greenidge now.
Feeds into the edge of the--

Chilvers,
chance on his right foot.

Hits it! Just wide.

I think Howard
might have had it covered.

Mendy. Looks like Jones

making a typical charge
around the outside.

- Yep.
- Wrexham are happy

to keep the ball
on the edge of the box here.

Lee helps it on.

McClean finally gets the ball.

Sets himself...

It'’s a goal!

Yeah!

That'’s a crucial,
crucial second goal.

A huge get into McClean.

It'’s an own goal.

It'’s a horrible own goal.

But I'’ll tell you what,

McClean puts it into
that dangerous area

and caused it.

Wrexham!

Whoo!

Chance, maybe, for Read,

25 yards out,
to change the angle.

Helps it across to Iandolo.

Here again,
Wrexham shift across.

Cross comes out.
It'’s a good ball.
Free header.

Great save by Howard.
Rebounds. It'’s in.

And Colchester
are given some hope.

What a wonderful save
it was by Howard.

- He was livid, and rightly.
It was.

- Fantastic save.
- Come on!

Swings it in. Boyle with
a good header to Iandolo.

Iandolo, chance to hit this.
Does so. Puts it over.

And Wrexham
just need to see this out.

Howard hits it long.
Ref'’s not looking
at his watch. Palmer.

And that is the final whistle.
And you hear that cheer.

There'’s relief
mixed in with it.

We were down to ten men
in the first half,
and we still managed to dig in.

Howard played really well today
as well. Really solid.

Three points. We'’ll take it.
- There we go.

- That was fun.
- That was nice.
Yeah. That was fun.

Have you got
your season tickets on you,
if that'’s all right?

Go on.
Thank you very much, girl.

You'’re welcome.
Here you go, mate.

- Have a nice day.
- Thank you so much.

You'’re welcome.

My name is Peter Wynne.

I'’m head of tickets
at Wrexham Football Club.

So when I started, you know,
you could turn up on the day,

cash in your hand,
pay your 15, 20 pound
on the gate,

and stadium was so big,
you could sit where you wanted.

Over the past couple of years,
that has changed phenomenally.

There'’s over
two-and-a-half thousand people
waiting to buy tickets.

It'’s just maths.

That level of demand,

there'’s always gonna be people
that miss out.

So the sooner we get
that Kop built...

...hopefully, some of
those problems should ease.

It'’s heartbreaking
when you'’re in the bar,

and you see people
that haven'’t got tickets,

and they'’ve traveled
from Colorado or Las Vegas,

and, you know,
they'’re begging for tickets
and there'’s none going.

The last thing
you wanna do is price fans out

or make it so
the website doesn'’t work
for a certain person,

and they never get a chance
or whatever it might be.

So that'’s where
the stress comes from for me,

it'’s that responsibility
of you'’re looking after
people'’s memories

or whatever it might be.

Hi.
Hi, guys.

We'’re here to talk
about a possible new stand

because it doesn'’t
look like the Kop
is gonna be up anytime soon.

No.

So, previously on the Kop.

The Kop was the iconic stand
at one end of the stadium,

and it has sadly sat
a kind of derelict mass

of rusting metal
for the last few years.

So, we applied to UK government
for some money

to build
a fancy new stand there.

And got denied, but we decided
to demolish the stand anyway.

And then we applied
for more money.
Got that approved.

And then ran into any number
of exciting regulatory issues,

that we had to iron out
before we actually built
the damn thing.

So what do you-- So we have--
we have all sorts of printouts.

Well, so this--
this map I'’ve got.

This is currently the site plan.

And this is the site plan
that encompasses,

you know, what we'’re aiming
to do with the Kop.

This section--

The Kop is very slow-moving.

It'’s hard to get everything
approved and kind of moving

at the rate that we wanna move.

And again,
it'’s that bureaucracy,
you know, is very tough.

People who have seen season 1
and season 2 know how much

I personally enjoy
British bureaucracy.

- It'’s your favorite color.
- Yeah, it'’s my favorite.

I can'’t maintain an erection

unless I'’m thinking
about British bureaucracy.

- It'’s hot.
- Yeah.

Even just thinking about it.
No, I have to--

That'’s why my legs are crossed.

Rob had proposed,
"What would happen

if we put
two and a half thousand seats

in that area right now
that are just temporary?"

That are just-- We just put--

And, you know,
Shaun and several other people--

I love Shaun, '’cause he's
always looking out for
our best interests-- was like--

Absolutely not.

'’Cause it absolutely
makes zero sense financially.

In order to practically build
a set of temporary seats,

you would need to either acquire
or license this land

from the university
and the council.

We need to do some stuff
to the ground

to make it safe
for people to enter
into the back of this thing.

That is the stupidest idea
I'’ve ever heard.

I don'’t know. We figure it out.

We also couldn'’t get
Phil Parkinson.
He was never gonna come.

Paul wasn'’t gonna come.
Ben wasn'’t gonna come.

No one goes to jail
if those guys
don'’t come to the club.

If the stand collapses
and kills a bunch of people...

- Okay. Okay.
- ...I go to jail.

Your first thought is,

"Oh, my God. I'’m going to jail
because this thing
is gonna collapse."

How would the world--
How has the world
functioned to this point?

- That-- Yeah--
Oh!
This is getting stupid.

First of all, you'’re dead right.

That'’s why we address
the safety issue,

and why we would do everything
legally aboveboard
and ethically.

My issue is genuinely not
that I think it'’s gonna collapse

'’cause we wouldn't put it up
unless it was safe, right?

- We all know that.
- Correct. The assumption
is that we...

My actual concern is
that we do all of this--

that we build this whole thing--
we maybe get one,

two games with
an extra 2,000 people in it
and then we gotta take it down.

And it sure would be nice
to get a couple thousand
more people in there.

That'’s the biggest complaint
that I'’ve been seeing

is people of the town saying
we can'’t get in to see the games
'’cause of the tickets.

Yeah.

And us losing a lot of money

seems to be, like,
kind of the...

- I have no problem with that.
- ...whole thing.

- That I'’m all for.
- Oh, my God. Losing--

Losing a ton of money
is so in right now.

- It'’s so--
- And it'’s red-hot.

Rolling it. Speed. Yeah.

Yeah?

Hello and welcome to
the Racecourse Ground...

Um...

Playing Aldershot.

In the warm-up,
I'’ve looked to the stand,

and I'’ve not seen my mum, dad,
and Chloe, my wife,

'’cause they were gonna be
coming to watch me.

Chloe was pregnant at the time.

So I thought, "A bit late.
It'’s not like them."

No texts.

So I thought, "Fine."
Played the game.

Tozer with the throw.

Looking for Tunnicliffe.

It'’s a scramble
in the box there.

Palmer. Oh... It'’s a goal.

Cleared off the line.
Finds James Jones,
and that'’s 2-nil.

We were winning.
Still couldn'’t see them.

And then...

- JJ. JJ. JJ, come here.
- The gaffer subbed me.

And as I'’m going off the pitch,
he said...

So just go down. Straight down.
Yeah? Good lad.

So I'’ve just quickly
got me stuff and gone
straight over to hospital.

You know, as soon as I saw her,
I knew it was serious.

She was in pain.

And just seeing her face,
it just wasn'’t right.

At this point,

the baby is 25 weeks
and one day... gestation.

All the time, you think about
having your child

and how special
that moment'’s gonna be.

And, instead,
you'’re just left distraught,
wondering what'’s gonna be.

Chloe was getting
progressively worse.

And they had to have
an emergency cesarean
to save her life.

7:49, Jude was born.

And they just showed us his face
as they wheeled him out
to intensive care,

and he was--

His face-- He was just, like--

He was just--
There was nothing of him.

He was tiny.

I remember the doctors saying,

like, Jude'’s
survival percentages
we'’re only, like, 40%.

It was off the back
of being born so early.

I'’m with Chloe just in,
like, the recovery,

and she goes, "James,
my eyes are starting to go."

And her eyes start flickering,
and starts twitching.

And she starts having a seizure.

They took-- Made the decision,

she'’s got to be taken
to intensive care as well.

So they'’re both
in intensive care,
and I was stuck in the middle

and thinking one or both
might not make it.

The uncertainty of life
can hit anybody.

Everything changed so quickly
from being, you know--

I was playing
a game of football.

We'’re winning, I scored.

And then suddenly
you'’re in this situation.

I just literally wandered
around the hospital

from one intensive care unit
to the other.

And it was just--
It dragged on for months.

Ah, the sun'’s
in his eyes.
Oh, dear.

Let'’s face you the other way.
Is that sun in your eyes?

Ready.

Steady.

Go.

- It was severe preeclampsia.
Yeah.

It developed
into HELLP syndrome. Yeah.

But normally,
with that condition,
they remove the placenta,

and then you start to recover.

- But I didn'’t. I just
kept getting worse.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- I know it was really tough.

There were
some really scary times.

Are you gonna go in the swing?

Can you sit you back?

Well,
it'’s his first birthday.
- Yeah.

Ready.

Steady.

Swing.

The fact that
they'’ve both come through now,

and Chloe is just
the best mum ever.

- She'’s just amazing for Jude.
- Yay.

And Jude'’s just, like, the best.

He'’s-- He's just so happy
and funny, and he'’s got
his own personality.

Wow, look at all this, Jude.

He'’s never
fully out of the woods
with different stuff,

but he'’s, at the minute,
he'’s just the best.

Aw.

When you take a step back
and you look at the big picture,

you realize
nothing lasts forever
and everything can change.

And how my life could have been.

I think I'’d take this all day.

I feel like
he helped me come out of it.

When he was just saying,
like, you know,

"I love you so much,
and I'’m here for you."

I feel like
that'’s what helped me.

And it'’s so true.
You'’re always here for us.

I'’m so lucky.

- Sorry.
- Don'’t. You'll set me off here.

I know.
I'’m so grateful though.

So grateful.

Because of my busy schedule,

I had to invite my co-chair,
Rob McElhenney,

to the set of Deadpool
in London...

This is amazing.
Yeah, right?

...to discuss
all things that are Wrexham.

- You wanna put your bag down?
Yeah.

And, yes, I did have to
promise him a role

in the upcoming
Deadpool film.

And for confidentiality reasons

nobody can see or hear
any of this stuff.

Here? There'’s Rob.

Hi, Rob.
- Hi.

- Sorry. Sorry.
- How are you? I don'’t
want to get anything

on that beautiful coat of yours.

There'’s blood all over me.

You seem to be a bit busy.

Hey, Ryan, what scene
are we shooting today?

- We'’re in here.

It'’s--

- So, it'’s like, uh...
So, in other words...

Basically, we get...

I'’m standing here. And this...

- And then quiet down.
- I just saw you do that.

Oh, a spray tan trailer.

Don'’t have to blur that.
No spoiler there.

- Yo. Hey. Hi.
- Hey, buddy.

- And we'’ve got--
- Come on in.

I am texting Ollie Palmer.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yep.

How much should I block
what I'’m wearing?

On this camera?

You'’re fine.
You'’re-- Just don't unzip.

- Can you not tease?
- Sorry. Sorry.

- This isn'’t
the Spearmint Rhino, Rob.
- Yeah.

Now,
I can'’t necessarily tell you

which character Rob
plays in Deadpool

for fear of being shot down
by the Marvel drone that follow
me and my kids around.

Wade Wilson?

Who'’s asking?

But it could be him. Or him.

Please. Oh, my fuck!

Maybe him.

Well, no, not him.

Possibly him.

Uh!

It'’s super comfortable

making superhero movies.

I know. Thanks for
doing a-a-a cameo.

- Super secret cameo.
- Yeah. It'’s really fun.

Just for the record,
Rob has never asked me

to be on It'’s Always
Sunny in Philadelphia

or Mythic Quest
or his podcast,
or any of his other many

- multimedia ventures.
- I asked you to be on this.

- Yeah. Thank you.
- Yeah, you said yes.

Yeah, and it'’s been hell.

You remember that temporary
stand that Humphrey said
he was gonna go to jail for?

- Yeah.
- It'’s being built. Did you see--

Yay! I saw some pictures, yeah.

Rob and Ryan
want to get as many people
into the stadium.

A temporary stand
is sensible in addressing
the shortage of tickets.

But from
a financial perspective,
it'’s anything but.

I'’ve long advocated a principle
of conscious decision-making.

You know, if people know
the facts and want to do it,

it'’s not the wrong decision.

But in isolation,
it'’s a financial nightmare.

Humphrey'’s like,
"Oh, God, I'’m going to prison."

- That is his first thought.
- Shaun and Humphrey are--

Their bodies are 90% ulcer
at this point.

I may still seek counsel
as I quite value my freedom.

I can'’t imagine there's
ever gonna be another year again

in the future of this club
where we'’re not in the middle
of something pivotal.

We'’re in a fight right now
to get our asses

out of League Two
and into League One.

And that feeling
is just never gonna go away.

All jokes aside,
Shaun came through

and built
a beautiful temporary stand,

but we are going to lose
a significant amount
of money on it.

However, I believe
it'’s a competitive advantage

to be able to close
that stadium in
and to hear that support.

I think it'’s gonna
be twice as loud in there

because you have
an extra 2,500 people.

But also because
the acoustics now
will keep everything locked in.

♪ The Red Army ♪

♪ Allez, allez, allez, oh
Allez, allez, allez, oh ♪

December 23rd forward, hopefully.

For, well, I guess,
our derby, right?

- Yes.
- Like Newport. Yeah.

- And where is that derby?
- Derby?

- Derby?
- Derby, yeah.

Sorry, quick chyron.

Derby, wrong. Derby, right.

Ryan.

Idiot.

Here we are
undefeated. '’Tis the season
for a Welsh derby match.

Wrexham versus Newport County
at the Racecourse Ground.

Fuck Wrexham.

Assholes.

Yeah, it'’s a strange one,

because Mark Howard'’s
actually done really well
in goal.

But I think
he'’s gonna be replaced because
Okonkwo is back from injury.

- I like the touch. I like it.
Do you like it?

As long as it does the job,
that'’s all that really matters,
isn'’t it?

Do you wanna try it on?

You put it on,
and I'’ll strap it around
in the back. Yeah.

So good news
on the Okonkwo injury front.

- Arthur'’s cleared
to continue to play.
- Just tuck this in.

He'’s been fitted with
a custom mask which should
prevent any further injuries.

So I know I'’m supposed to draw
a Deadpool comparison here,

but to be honest,
he looks more like Batman,

who we can all agree
is much cooler.

- You can see just when I--
- I can'’t feel it.

- That'’s not
going to impact that.
- No.

But more importantly is,
if you get a blow
to the front of the chin,

or you land on your chin,
or a ball hits you

when you'’re making a save
with your hands up,
you got that protection there.

It provides that impact
from the front
and from the side, really.

So, I think
it'’s a pretty secure mask
for what you need it for.

So welcome to

Wrexham against Newport County,
a Welsh derby.

Goodness me.

The atmosphere
already crackling.

Not least because we have got
a fourth side to the ground.

The temporary Kop is open.

To get asked today to come
and road test it

as a wheelchair user
working for the club,
to check everything'’s in place.

It'’s absolutely
brilliant facilities.

And just from a nostalgic
point of view,

to be back on the Kop
is just incredible.

Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!

Listen to that noise.

That'’s spine-tingling, that was

Yeah.

So going into
today'’s match,

Wrexham'’s opponents
are Newport County.

They are in 17th place
on 26 points.

Wrexham, we'’re in third
on 40 points.

One point ahead of Mansfield.

Today'’s match is crucial
to keep that momentum going.

As the teams are now coming out
to a raucous reception.

The temporary Kop
definitely adds something.

Adds a bit more atmosphere,

and feels like
a proper stadium again almost.

It just didn'’t seem right.

You always wanna win the games,
but there'’s definitely
those extra incentives.

And we had to make sure we won.

A derby match,

derby atmosphere,
four-sided ground.

Okonkwo'’s got
a protective mask on, hasn'’t he

Yeah. Yeah.

Gets to be the first goalkeeper

to greet the fans
at the temporary Kop stand.

I saw someone suggesting
that it should be called
the Ben Foster Stand

'’cause he only came in for a bi
but did a great job.

I rather like that.

- Away we go.

Wrexham kicking towards
the SToK Cold Brew end then.

Come on, Wrexham!

As Wrexham
looks to exploit that.

Great ball over the top.

Mullin on his own

down the right channel.

He'’s pressured by Delaney.

He goes down in the box.

And the ref is not interested.

Fucking hell!

Mendy, taking on the fullback.

Gets into the box,
right-hand side,
on his left foot.

Sweeps to the far post!

Just gone beyond.

Oh!

Well done, Jacob!

Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!

Bogle surging forwards,

knocks Tozer over
and plays a great ball.

Evans, tight angle.
It'’s a brilliant save
by Okonkwo.

But Newport
are penning Wrexham in with
the assistance of this wind.

Delaney goes back into
his own half.

Get up to the ball!

Then puts it out wide.

Picked up by Delaney
on the flank.

He puts a great cross in.
Header towards goal!

Another brilliant save
by Okonkwo!

- How did that not go in?
Goodness me.

That could'’ve gone either way.
That one.

Okonkwo. The masked avenger.

It'’s there for us, isn't it?
The game is there for us.

The moments of quality,
there might be five.

There might be five
in the game where we go, bang,
bang, bang, out the other side.

1 v 1, we get a goal.

But the rest of the game
is gonna be scrap, scrap, scrap.

Stay calm.
This is the type of game it is,
and we'’re gonna come out on top.

And when the moments
of quality come, they will
come from fucking us.

Keep doing the defensive work.
Keep doing the blocks.

Keep doing the crosses,
and it will fucking come.

Okay? Come on, boys.
Let'’s fucking go!

Come on! Come on, boys!

The crowd,

wait for it, is 12,095.

It'’s like I said,
the biggest crowd

since that Boston match in 2007
at the Racecourse.

Wrexham!

Wrexham just need something
to go our way.

As here come Wrexham.
Ball into the box.

Dalby backing in,
pinning his man.
Can he lay it off? Can he turn?

Hits it. Oh, just wide!

Lee'’s just behind McClean,
but he keeps it going.

Back to McClean again
from Dalby.

This is good from Wrexham.
Lee driving through the middle.

Hits the shot!

Hit the post.
Bounced back out,
hit the keeper.

Go again! Come on!

Let'’s go, gents!

Come on! Come on!

Chipping away, the bastard.

McClean,
what a tackle that was.

Pressure is building
and building.

Tozer then,
with the long throw.

Slings it into the edge
of the six-yard box.
Touches it on.

- Wrexham score! Wrexham score!

James Jones smashes it home!

- Get in! Come on.

James Jones, again,

in front of a populated Kop,
hits the net for Wrexham.

But you got to say
the last five minutes
has been coming, hasn'’t it?

Yeah, definitely,
it'’s been coming.

It'’s a great finish
by James Jones.

He really got a hold of that
and made sure it went in.

I didn'’t think
about it so much at the time.
I was just happy to score.

But it would be a nice feeling
to look back on,

to know that I was the first one
to score in front of four stands
again in,

what is it, 18 years?

So, yeah, it'’s a nice one
to have in your back pocket.

Hey, listen to that.

The atmosphere is incredible.

Wrexham!

James Jones. My heart'’s
still pounding. Gotta say.

- Yeah!

And the final whistle.
Wrexham win 2-nil.

It was one of those games.

I was unsure about whether
we'’d get the win or not,

but I'’ll take
2-nil today, anytime.

It was a proper derby.

Today,
a record attendance brokered
inside the Stok Cae Ras.

Four sides to it, and two goals
in front of the Kop.

- Must have been great to see.
- Yeah, that was--

I said to the lads at halftime,

you know, kicking to that end
with supporters

and, you know, "Let'’s really
kind of take the game
to Newport, knock attacks in,

kind of put them under
sustained periods of pressure."

You know, all in all,
I thought the lads have stuck
to the job in hand today

and got another very important
three points for us.

It'’s the first time
Wrexham players

have done that for 25 years,
clap the Kop.

Wow, that crowd today
was definitely the 12th man,

definitely pushed us
over the line.

Wrexham!
Wrexham! Wrexham!

So a very good weekend
for us really, you know,
yielded three points.

That'’s what we're after.

But elsewhere around the league

across the country to the east,
our old friends and foes,

Notts County,
finding it a bit more difficult.

A previous spot-kick.
It'’s Jennings down the middle.

Tranmere 4, Notts County 2.

When last
we met Notts County,

they were second in the league
and flying frankly.

But since then, things have been
a little tougher for them.

League Two'’s
a very competitive league.

It'’s a league where anyone
can beat anyone on a day.

Notts County today lose
serious ground to the top three

They'’re seven adrift now.

I think the team'’s
a bit wounded in terms of

having winning as a habit.

When you lose that habit
for a bit, it hurts.

Bigger news
has followed since that
last game, as Luke Williams

has departed to jump two league
to go to Swansea City
of the Championship.

Not only are
they struggling to find
their footing in League Two,

but they have lost
their very successful manager,
Luke Williams, to Swansea.

The end of
the Luke Williams era
at Notts County Football Club.

The reign is over,
giving certainly
many young Notts fans

the best days of their life
as Notts County supporters.

Was at Notts for 18 months,
and I'’ve returned to Swansea
as head coach.

That'’s my beloved Notts.

And, uh, you know,
it'’s always gonna be
a special football club to me.

It'’s indescribable.

It'’s impossible for us
to ever be really separated

even if we'’re no longer
day in, day out together.

I will, you know,
cherish the memories
of working with them

and the things
we'’ve done together.

A shot at redemption.

Scott sends Notts County
back to the Football League!

The game never stands still,
and nothing is ever permanent.

And this game is precarious
at the best of times.

So, I'’ve made a decision,
and it'’s extremely difficult.

Notts have struggled
and stuttered in recent months.

Gonna lose--

And again,

a leaky defense
is at it again.

If you look in isolation
at four or five games,

like, use the form
under the current manager
when he came in,

the results weren'’t
as we would have liked and as
he would'’ve liked, I'm sure.

It'’s another away loss
for County.

You just need
to look at the league table.

"We'’re in a hole trying
to climb out of it,"

I think is what I would say.

We'’ve slumped massively,
as everybody knows.

What a brilliant finish
from Cedwyn Scott.

When it'’s not going your way,
it'’s just not going your way.

It'’s really frustrating
because it'’s another team
that'’s come to Meadow Lane

and have not had to do a lot
to really beat us.

And that'’s the frustration.

Since we'’ve been
in charge as a management team,

we'’ve found that, uh,
that big moments within games
kind of haven'’t gone our way.

We'’ve had a lot of niggles
and injuries.

It'’s kind of been
out of our hands

to a degree, at certain stages,
since we'’ve come in.

To Robertson.

Plays it back to his goalkeeper
It'’s come off the post.

Could be a simple tap-in,
and it is.

They don'’t come much easier
than a tap-in like this.

We had high hopes
for this season, but it
shows the highs and lows

of football and how quickly
it can turn around.

It sounds cliché, but we'’ll
take each game as it comes.

The game must go on.

Football is temporary.

One week you'’re in great form,
the next you'’re in the doldrums.

So the new Goliath
in this league for us
is Stockport County.

Those of you
with a long memory will remember
they'’re an old Goliath for us

because they are the team
that pipped us to the title
in the 2021-22 season.

This Wrexham season is over!

Old foes resurface.

County are back!

...and the dream
has finally come true.

So now,
both teams are fighting
for top spot in League Two,

and it'’s turning into
a bit of a doozy of a battle.

Olaofe one-on-one,
and scores a magnificent goal.

We went to Edgeley Park
earlier in the season
and were well-beaten by them.

Olaofe with a header.

Olaofe scores the hat trick.

Did not see
this coming. Let'’s be frank.

No, not at all.
But 5-nil to Stockport. Wowie.

Ever since that,
Stockport County
have been on a bit of a tear.

And he scores,
sends the keeper the wrong way.

It'’s seven goals in seven games
for Louie Barry.

It'’s Bailey who goes for goal.

It'’s a stunner,
and the winning run
is set to continue.

And there it is.
County have got
the three points.

Nine wins in a row.

County stay top of the table.

Olaofe checks one way,
then the other,
on his left foot.

And he'’s made it 2-nil.
County have got
the three points tonight.

And it'’s day's dozen,
12 in a row
for Stockport County.

So we have a very important
event approaching.

Arthur Massey,
who is believed to be
our oldest fan, is turning 100.

We have a special surprise
where we will invite Arthur
onto the pitch,

we'’ll present him with a jersey

and more importantly,
he will receive
a standing ovation

from our home crowd
for a full 100 seconds.

And because of
our busy schedules, we'’re
sending Rob a few weeks early

- to give our thanks to Arthur.
- It'’s a nice neighborhood.

And hopefully,
he doesn'’t blow the secret.

- Hi.
- Hello, my darling, how are you?

- How are you?
- It'’s so good to see you.

It'’s so lovely to see you.

- Nice to meet you.
- Lovely to meet you.

Thank you for having us
at your home.

Oh!
- Thank you.

- How are you?
- Hi.

- How you doing?
- Nice to see you.

- It'’s so nice to see you.
- Nice to see you.

I wanted to make sure I came by
and said hello and thank you.

- And happy birthday.
- Oh, that'’s nice.

- Happy birthday.
- Wow.

That'’s very kind, thank you.

You did brilliant.
- Thank you.

And, well, so did you, you lived
almost a hundred years.

- I'’d say you're doing
something right.
Yes, yeah.

Whatever you'’re doing,
I want to do more of.

It'’s the brandy.

- The brandy.
Yes.

- Brandy.
- Let'’s have a brandy.

How long
have you lived in this house?

- Seventy-- Seventy-four years.
- Wow.

I lived very much--
I lived in a house like this.

This is how I grew up in a--
I don'’t know if you saw--

On the documentary.
You showed your son round.

But we shared
a bathroom though.

There was five of us.

Yes.
Yeah, that'’s right.

And, you know, as you get older,
the house looks so much smaller,

but I remember it
being so large,
and it was hard to go back.

-'’Cause it wasn't in good shape.
- No.

The person that was living there
was not in good shape,

and he felt
a little bit embarrassed.

And, you know,
the truth is that we--

I get a little emotional
to think about it because we--

I just remember love
in the house.

- Yeah. That'’s right.
Yeah.

- That'’s all I remember--
- That'’s all that's important.

- Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.

Dad'’s seen
lots of changes.

I think what those eyes
have seen over a hundred years.

Must be a very difficult part
of living a hundred years

is having to say goodbye
to so many people.

- That'’s life.
Yeah.

You have to accept what it is,
not what you want it to be.

You know what you want it to be,
but it'’s never like that, is it?

Happy birthday, Arthur.

Happy birthday.
You'’re 100 years old. Wow.

When people ask us,
they say, "Why Wrexham?"

Well, the answer could very well

- just be Arthur Massey.
- Yes.

What a treat
we have here today.

Our oldest fan, Arthur Massey,
will be honored here
at the Stok Cae Ras

with a hundred seconds
of applause.

- Hi, how are you doing, huh?
- Happy birthday.

One second for each year
of his remarkable life.

Hi.

What'’s his name?
- Jude.

Jude? Oh, lovely.

Hello, happy birthday.

- Hello.
- Greeting the old man.
Happy birthday, sir.

Thank you very much.
