MY MEMORIES OF WREXHAM F.C.... begin way back in the late 60's and early 70's. We would wear any red footy shirt at lunch time to play footy in,at Acton Park Junior School.(Hello! any Acky Parkers out there).This usually made us late for registration and a rollocking from Miss,I recall. She must be a Chester fan,we thought?
This followed my first experience of a match...v's Port Vale in '69/'70 I think? Names I recall? Brian Lloyd,Ian,Ian Moir('on the wing'of course),Arfon Griffiths,Eddie May. I sat behind the goal at the Tech' End and I mean behind the goal,in front of the ad' boards! I had a few close scares with balls steaming by my head but none hit me fortunately. Sat there, very stil, with Barry Williams( hi Baz!).
Many great memories thereafter of match days and nights on the Kop,under the Bushie stand,seemingly held together by chewing gum and sellotape,and later in the new Kop stand...luxury!!
The excitement and tension of matches against Newcastle,Blythe,etc I recall and later Arsenal,Birmingham,West Ham,etc etc. Not only that but nights listening on radio to as many cup exploits as I could.
I connect every game,big and small with school friends and those times.Great atmosphere at some games,cold wind and poor tea at others,journeys to Northhants for promotion,to East London for Roosters special strike in the cup(no fog that day),to St Andrews,Brum and made it onto M.O.T.D.THAT NIGHT!
I was at the Millemium to see our cup win.(Hi,Dean). Will never forget that day.Nor driving all the way home to Essex in a jam of cars from Southend,with my red scarf flying proudly from my window. O.K.unless I had to slow down!
V's Boston end of '06/'07.(the mother of my children is from Boston.Sorry,Charl!).
Of late,to Dagenham and Barnet to be thoroughly depressed.
Took my 2yr old to his first game,at the Racecourse at Easter. 1-1 and not the best. Can't even remember the name of our opponents,that's how poor it was.
The day of relegation was expected but no l
