Holyhead-born Roberts has been a Wrexham supporter since childhood but yesterday played his part in earning Dagenham a 0-0 draw at The Racecourse – further denting the Reds' hopes of avoiding the drop.

And Roberts is hoping Wrexham enjoy a change in fortunes in their nine game run-in: "A big club like this should not be down where they are," he said.

"Me being a Wrexham fan, I hope they go on a run and get the points to stay up because I really don't want to see them go down.

"I am from Holyhead just up the road, I came to The Racecourse as a supporter as a boy and I have been here a few times with the Wales squad.

"Wrexham means a lot to me as a club and I want them to stay up.

"We have got Mansfield last game of the season so hopefully if it comes down to that, I will pull out some saves, we will batter them and Wrexham go and win, and get the points to stay up."

Roberts, who won two full Wales caps, made a number of saves to deny Wrexham who created a host of chances.

The 38-year-old was happy Dagenham picked up a point and believes fifth from bottom Daggers now need just one more win to ensure they are playing League Two football next term.

"It was a big game for Wrexham, but we came here to try and spoil it and get a point," added Roberts.

"Wrexham had a few chances. They were quite tasty with the balls coming into the box and had a few chances but luckily for us did not take any.
"I made a couple of saves so I am well happy.

"We have got six games left and I think if we get another win, which would take us to 45 points, we should be okay.

"But you never know. We were on a good run, then lost a few, but everybody is beating each other in this league.

"We just have to keep on going and see what we get."
