For those of you who are missing my regular blogs – I realise that is probably not as many of you as I would like – I thought I would just update you with what I am currently doing. I have been writing a Memory Match for each season Wrexham AFC spent in the Football […]
Wrexham AFC in the FA Cup: 1888-1920 Read More »
I have finally completed a Memory Match for every season that Wrexham AFC played in the Football League between 1921 and 2008. I first started writing these columns in 2015 for the Wrexham AFC matchday programme. After submitting these contributions to the programme for two seasons I became disillusioned with the direction that the club

This is the last-but-one Memory Match that I will be writing before having written a match report for every season that Wrexham AFC enjoyed in the Football League, between 1921 and 2008. I will then be in a position to publish the book that I have been working on since 2015. Wouldn’t it be great,

In August 2000, I was sent on an exciting assignment by my employers – North Wales Newspapers. Cunard wanted someone to write an article about the disabled facilities aboard the QE2, on a journey from Southampton to New York. As luck would have it, the local rag had just hired a new employee – a

I received the following press release from Disability Wales and I thought it would be of interest to my readers. I have been a little depressed over the past few weeks. It is because I am feeling undervalued in many ways. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that I do not actually feature in

I now only have two chapters left to write of the Wrexham AFC Memory Match book I have been writing since 2015. I will then have written about a game from each season that Wrexham AFC competed in the Football League, from 1921 to their relegation to the non-league doldrums in 2008. I will then

Over the past few months, I have watched with interest as Hollywood superstars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have taken control of the club from the hapless Wrexham Supporters Trust. I am hopeful that things will improve under the new ownership and I am excited that I may soon be welcomed back to the Racecourse to

So Wrexham AFC fucked it up again yesterday, and failed to make the end-of-season National League play-offs. They had every opportunity and a victory would have sealed it, but I have supported the club for long enough to have known they would screw it up. A dreadful performance and a 1-1 draw was not enough,

I have done something a little different for this particular edition of Memory Match. Way back in 2007/08, I interviewed a series of Wrexham AFC legends about their favourite games with the club. One of these characters was Billy Ashcroft who spoke to me about the 1976 European Cup Winners Cup Quarter-Final games against Anderlecht.
