179
00:06:43,717 --> 00:06:45,855
O'Connell has a great
ball down the line.
180
00:06:45,855 --> 00:06:48,192
And Mendy's hamstring is gone.
181
00:06:48,192 --> 00:06:50,531
Oh, no.
182
00:06:50,531 --> 00:06:52,334
What a shame that is.
183
00:06:52,334 --> 00:06:54,940
It was a great ball down
the line by O'Connell.
184
00:06:54,940 --> 00:06:56,944
ANNOUNCER: As soon as he
accelerated out of that,
185
00:06:56,944 --> 00:06:58,179
he's pulled up.
186
00:06:58,179 --> 00:06:59,849
ANNOUNCER: The gasp
from the crowd
187
00:06:59,849 --> 00:07:01,519
when it happened as well.
188
00:07:01,519 --> 00:07:03,524
He looks visibly distressed.
189
00:07:03,524 --> 00:07:05,595
He holds his shirt
to his face.
190
00:07:05,595 --> 00:07:07,832
What a shame.
191
00:07:09,268 --> 00:07:12,709
That's an awful way
to end the first half.
192
00:07:12,709 --> 00:07:14,579
Wrexham have shown threat
but will be disappointed
193
00:07:14,579 --> 00:07:16,181
not to have scored.
194
00:07:16,181 --> 00:07:18,319
With a look
at the live scores,
195
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:21,660
MK Dons have gone up 1-0.
196
00:07:21,660 --> 00:07:24,732
This is now a must-win
match for Wrexham.
197
00:07:25,768 --> 00:07:28,439
Wrexham from the kickoff,
gonna be long again.
198
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:30,209
A bit chaotic, this.
199
00:07:30,209 --> 00:07:31,680
Come on!
200
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,915
ANNOUNCER:
Colchester can start
201
00:07:32,915 --> 00:07:34,151
again from the halfway line.
202
00:07:34,151 --> 00:07:35,587
Helps it on nicely.
203
00:07:35,587 --> 00:07:37,124
McGeehan does well to feed
it to Akinde with the return
204
00:07:37,124 --> 00:07:38,126
pass is strong.
205
00:07:38,126 --> 00:07:39,061
But Akinde can hit this.
206
00:07:39,061 --> 00:07:40,130
It's in!
207
00:07:40,130 --> 00:07:41,465
Akinde slams it.
208
00:07:41,465 --> 00:07:44,806
Okonkwo got down low,
got his right hand to it,
209
00:07:44,806 --> 00:07:48,413
but it ricocheted off his
hand and into the net.
210
00:07:48,413 --> 00:07:50,483
And, well, Wrexham are
going to have to find
211
00:07:50,483 --> 00:07:53,523
an extra gear here now.
212
00:07:53,523 --> 00:07:54,860
That's just going
over the top.
213
00:07:54,860 --> 00:07:55,894
Barnett looks to pick him out.
214
00:07:55,894 --> 00:07:57,097
Keeper can't come for that.
215
00:07:57,097 --> 00:07:58,300
The defender heads
the ball away.
216
00:07:58,300 --> 00:07:59,636
Mullin heads it.
217
00:07:59,636 --> 00:08:02,542
So close to the 100th
goal for Mullin.
218
00:08:02,542 --> 00:08:05,214

Paul Mullin, Wrexham equalize.
223

And an historic moment,
the eighth Wrexham player to

00:08:22,314 --> 00:08:24,184
score 100 goals.
225
00:08:24,184 --> 00:08:26,823
It's an outstanding
achievement to get 100
226
00:08:26,823 --> 00:08:28,393
goals as quickly as he's done.
227
00:08:28,393 --> 00:08:31,432

feel he is to score a goal.

describe it, to be fair.

A bit of relief, excitement,
like, even not just because it
254
00:09:26,042 --> 00:09:27,812
was my first league goal,
but at the moment
255
00:09:27,812 --> 00:09:30,717
in the game that
we needed to win,
256
00:09:30,717 --> 00:09:32,087

I mean, the confidence that
she has in front of goal.
285

player to score 100 goals
in Wrexham
287
00:10:45,734 --> 00:10:47,337
and the first female.
288
00:10:47,337 --> 00:10:49,107
And she's done it
in ludicrous time.
289
00:10:49,107 --> 00:10:53,282
100 goals in 46
games is phenomenal.
290
00:10:53,282 --> 00:10:54,885
SPEAKER: To average two
goals per match
291
00:10:54,885 --> 00:10:56,723
and reach 100 goals
in record-breaking

00:10:56,723 --> 00:10:59,328
time is absolutely stunning.
293
00:10:59,328 --> 00:11:01,465
She is a big character around
the squad, isn't she?
294
00:11:01,465 --> 00:11:03,737
But I think that actually
adds to her performance
295
00:11:03,737 --> 00:11:06,409
and to the team's performance
because we just kind
296
00:11:06,409 --> 00:11:10,483
of all kind of go with her.
297
00:11:10,483 --> 00:11:12,688
Right, so how have you
found this season, girls?
298
00:11:12,688 --> 00:11:14,191
I didn't expect
us to do so well.
299
00:11:14,191 --> 00:11:16,362
Like, in all honesty,
I thought we'd go up and be,
300
00:11:16,362 --> 00:11:17,965
like, near relegation.
301
00:11:17,965 --> 00:11:20,738
And then to finish top
three, I'm surprised.
302
00:11:20,738 --> 00:11:21,907

women have had
303
00:11:21,907 --> 00:11:23,476
a really good campaign.
304
00:11:23,476 --> 00:11:25,580
If you think about it,
it's their first ever season

00:11:25,580 --> 00:11:27,450
in the Adran Premier League.
306
00:11:27,450 --> 00:11:29,956
It's a massive step up,
and they finished in third.
307
00:11:29,956 --> 00:11:31,559
SPEAKER: We've more than
competed in the league

00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:32,962
that we've gone into.
309
00:11:32,962 --> 00:11:34,799
We got a ridiculous
amount of points, scored

there and being very

at the top level,
313
00:11:41,512 --> 00:11:43,049

Oh, yes, she can.

SPEAKER: Yeah,
it's not just the league
316
00:11:47,558 --> 00:11:48,927
where they've exceeded
expectations.
317
00:11:48,927 --> 00:11:50,163
They've done really well
in the cup too.
318
00:11:50,163 --> 00:11:52,067
We had a decent cup run,
haven't we really?
319
00:11:52,067 --> 00:11:56,309
The FAW Women's Cup is
a separate cup competition.
320
00:11:56,309 --> 00:11:57,945
It's very different
to the league.
321
00:11:57,945 --> 00:12:00,016
You play teams that are
not only in your league
322
00:12:00,016 --> 00:12:02,187
but in other leagues as well.

As a women's section,
we've never won the Cup Final.

it's a chance to end
328

the season with a trophy,
329
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,477
but it's also a chance to get
a bit of revenge
330
00:12:14,477 --> 00:12:15,847
against the team that has
really been
331
00:12:15,847 --> 00:12:17,585
their nemesis, Cardiff City.
332
00:12:17,585 --> 00:12:19,221
Can't shake them off.
333
00:12:19,221 --> 00:12:21,292
Yeah, the Bluebirds have
dominated the top tier

00:12:21,292 --> 00:12:23,597
of Welsh women's football
for quite a while.
335
00:12:23,597 --> 00:12:26,569
They've got three league
titles, one Adran trophy,
336
00:12:26,569 --> 00:12:30,545

it's their fourth Welsh Cup.

I'm really privileged to
have been asked by the club

I never thought that would be

347

It's nice to still have
a bit of involvement,

Forest Green Rovers.

SPEAKER: Today is the day that
Wrexham could be promoted,

of a long shot.

Ready for some maths?
Well, here we go.
441
00:16:30,858 --> 00:16:32,494
Fact number one is Wrexham has
442
00:16:32,494 --> 00:16:34,330
to beat Forest Green Rovers.
443
00:16:34,330 --> 00:16:37,470
Fact number two is that
MK Dons need to lose or draw
444
00:16:37,470 --> 00:16:40,009
against Mansfield Town
as long as Wrexham wins
445
00:16:40,009 --> 00:16:41,546
against Forest Green Rovers.
446
00:16:41,546 --> 00:16:43,517
And fact number
three is Barrow needs
447
00:16:43,517 --> 00:16:45,787
to lose or draw against
Gillingham as long as Wrexham
448
00:16:45,787 --> 00:16:48,627
win against Forest Green
Rovers and MK Dons
449
00:16:48,627 --> 00:16:50,797
loses or draws against
Mansfield Town.
450
00:16:50,797 --> 00:16:53,235
All of these things need
to happen for Wrexham
451
00:16:53,235 --> 00:16:54,705
to have enough points
that no other team
452
00:16:54,705 --> 00:16:57,343
could bump them out of the
automatic promotion spots.
453
00:16:57,343 --> 00:16:59,549
If MK Dons or Barrow
are victorious,
454
00:16:59,549 --> 00:17:02,120
then Wrexham wouldn't
be promoted this week.

It's happened!
703
00:26:28,117 --> 00:26:30,824
The fans are on the pitch.
704
00:26:30,824 --> 00:26:33,496
Wrexham win
705
00:26:33,496 --> 00:26:37,871
and we are up!
706
00:26:40,743 --> 00:26:42,981
Yes!
707
00:26:42,981 --> 00:26:44,283
Whoo!
708
00:26:48,425 --> 00:26:51,230
MARK:
Fans from around the world
709
00:26:51,230 --> 00:26:53,067
have played
their part in this.
710
00:26:53,067 --> 00:26:56,007
Wrexham Football Club, wow.
711
00:26:56,007 --> 00:26:57,276
What a time to be alive, eh?
712
00:26:57,276 --> 00:26:58,646
Yeah.
713
00:26:58,646 --> 00:27:00,884

714
00:27:00,884 --> 00:27:02,621
MARK: Back-to-back promotions.
715
00:27:02,621 --> 00:27:04,324
This is special.
716
00:27:04,324 --> 00:27:05,527
Drink it in.
717
00:27:05,527 --> 00:27:07,530
Enjoy yourselves tonight,
Wrexham fans.
718
00:27:07,530 --> 00:27:09,802
Because you don't see
back-to-back promotions
719
00:27:09,802 --> 00:27:13,676
very often.
720
00:27:13,676 --> 00:27:16,280
Oh my fucking God.
721
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,251

Mr. McElhenney,

I'm sure you're
watching.
724
00:27:22,827 --> 00:27:24,063
Can we just say, on behalf
725
00:27:24,063 --> 00:27:25,499
of all Wrexham fans,
thank you.
726
00:27:25,499 --> 00:27:27,837

Oh, this town!
746
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:34,403
ROGER: Think it's a truly
transformative achievement.
747
00:28:34,403 --> 00:28:36,107
One season back in
the football league,
748
00:28:36,107 --> 00:28:37,944
you're moving up
already another level,
749
00:28:37,944 --> 00:28:39,380
back-to-back promotions
for the first
750
00:28:39,380 --> 00:28:42,119
time in the club's
159-year history.
751
00:28:42,119 --> 00:28:44,157
We're back to where
we were 20 years ago.
752
00:28:44,157 --> 00:28:46,996
Been a long, hard slog,
but what a fantastic season.
753
00:28:46,996 --> 00:28:48,499
It was hard to
think that we'd go
754
00:28:48,499 --> 00:28:50,069
up twice and go back-to-back.
755
00:28:50,069 --> 00:28:52,306
But the thing that Parkey's
done with the club is amazing.
756
00:28:52,306 --> 00:28:55,145
SPEAKER: You know, the town is
united at the moment.
757
00:28:55,145 --> 00:28:56,582
What's happening at
the football club
758
00:28:56,582 --> 00:28:59,053
is a catalyst for something,
something a bit bigger.
759
00:28:59,053 --> 00:29:00,422
I think we're
suddenly becoming
760
00:29:00,422 --> 00:29:02,159
the best
versions of ourselves,
761
00:29:02,159 --> 00:29:04,564
you know, because this, for
me, is the best thing I've
762
00:29:04,564 --> 00:29:06,635
been a part of for a while.
763
00:29:06,635 --> 00:29:09,808
You know, it was a bit
of an emotional day,
764
00:29:09,808 --> 00:29:11,578
another-- another great day.
765
00:29:11,578 --> 00:29:13,583
SPEAKER: It's a big step
up to League One.
766
00:29:13,583 --> 00:29:15,252
We're going to struggle.
767
00:29:15,252 --> 00:29:16,555
We'll find out where
we are in League One.
768
00:29:16,555 --> 00:29:18,559
And I think, you know,
a couple of players
769
00:29:18,559 --> 00:29:21,330
coming to the end
of long contracts,
770
00:29:21,330 --> 00:29:24,470
you know, you could
see them not being kept on.
771
00:29:27,109 --> 00:29:31,451
SPEAKER: The planning for
next season is ongoing.
772
00:29:31,451 --> 00:29:35,125
There's a lot of work to
be done in the summer.
773
00:29:35,125 --> 00:29:40,135
We've got several
players out of contract.
774
00:29:40,135 --> 00:29:43,008
SPEAKER: We haven't ended up
being here by chance.
775
00:29:43,008 --> 00:29:44,210
You know, a lot
of players going.
776
00:29:44,210 --> 00:29:45,646
New players will be arriving.
777
00:29:45,646 --> 00:29:47,751
But it's that continued
evolution that the squad
778
00:29:47,751 --> 00:29:49,320
has to go through.
779
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,226
It feels harsh and it's
never the easiest few days,
780
00:29:52,226 --> 00:29:54,965
but everybody who's been
inside that dressing room
781
00:29:54,965 --> 00:29:57,670
understands the journey
the football club's on.
782
00:29:57,670 --> 00:29:59,941
SPEAKER: The jump from League
Two to League One
783
00:29:59,941 --> 00:30:02,881
is a harder challenge
than National
784
00:30:02,881 --> 00:30:04,249
League into League Two.
785
00:30:04,249 --> 00:30:06,421
And we've got to be
prepared for that.
786
00:30:06,421 --> 00:30:08,726
We've got to, as a group,
make the right decisions
787
00:30:08,726 --> 00:30:12,567
to keep the club progressing
in the right direction.
788
00:30:12,567 --> 00:30:15,438
SPEAKER: Yes, and so, last
game of the season, Stockport,
789
00:30:15,438 --> 00:30:18,344
there is a little bit of needle
between Stockport and Wrexham.
790
00:30:18,344 --> 00:30:20,816
Losing 5-0 at Stockport
earlier in the season
791
00:30:20,816 --> 00:30:23,922
was one of our sort of
real shocks to the system.
792
00:30:23,922 --> 00:30:26,394
Everyone wants a win today,
but we've got the championship,
793
00:30:26,394 --> 00:30:28,800
and that's what's
most important.
794
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,672
MARK: And plenty for Wrexham
to prove against Stockport,
795
00:30:31,672 --> 00:30:33,843
not least carrying this
rivalry into next season.
796
00:30:33,843 --> 00:30:35,547
Go, Wrexham!
797
00:30:35,547 --> 00:30:37,216
SPEAKER: We're going to tangle
with these guys next year.
798
00:30:37,216 --> 00:30:40,155
You know, beating them at
home in front of our fans
799
00:30:40,155 --> 00:30:42,961
seems like a great
way to end the season.
800
00:30:42,961 --> 00:30:45,834
SPEAKER: Today is my first
time getting into the race
801
00:30:45,834 --> 00:30:47,369
course ever.
802
00:30:47,369 --> 00:30:50,342
I'm, you know,
I'm scared of crowds.
803
00:30:50,342 --> 00:30:52,547
I don't like loud noises.
804
00:30:52,547 --> 00:30:54,383
The camera allows me--
805
00:30:54,383 --> 00:30:57,757
it makes me feel like I'm
allowed to be somewhere.

Rob's going to be here,
so I'll just stand around
810
00:31:08,011 --> 00:31:11,317
with all these other people and
just wait very, very patiently.
811
00:31:17,663 --> 00:31:18,499
- Bye, y'all.

Bye!
813
00:31:19,668 --> 00:31:21,137
SPEAKER: Today is just
about pride.
814
00:31:21,137 --> 00:31:23,074
So it should be a
belter of a match.

Oh, Luke's-- Luke's starting.
817
00:31:31,390 --> 00:31:34,196
So this Stockport
game is going
818
00:31:34,196 --> 00:31:36,133
to be the last game for
some of these players
819
00:31:36,133 --> 00:31:40,576
that they play or are
involved with Wrexham.

high up the pitch,
and Eoghan O'Connell
824
00:31:50,062 --> 00:31:51,264
gives it away.
825
00:31:51,264 --> 00:31:52,466
Lovely footwork by Camps.

down the right.

McClean's in.
You won't catch him.

Stockport take the lead.
832
00:32:02,018 --> 00:32:04,524
That was excellent
work by Camps.
833
00:32:04,524 --> 00:32:07,931

Cannon wins it back.
838
00:32:19,755 --> 00:32:21,324
The frantic start we'd expect.
839
00:32:21,324 --> 00:32:24,263
Gone outside him and take
three defenders with him.
840
00:32:24,263 --> 00:32:25,734
Inside Young,
he takes a touch.
841
00:32:25,734 --> 00:32:26,735
Gets in the box.
842
00:32:26,735 --> 00:32:27,737
Great dribble by Young.
843
00:32:27,737 --> 00:32:28,906
And he tackles him.
844
00:32:28,906 --> 00:32:30,409
And Palmer should have scored.

How did that get saved?

00:32:40,997 --> 00:32:42,132
Please.

How's it going
over there, at Stok?

So happy.
857
00:32:58,231 --> 00:33:00,002
At the end of the day,
it feels like we're doing
858
00:33:00,002 --> 00:33:01,805
cool shit with cool people.
859
00:33:01,805 --> 00:33:02,940
Yeah, and that feels good.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, we missed a goal.

So if you've been
paying attention,
871
00:33:20,241 --> 00:33:22,747
you know that making
the sponsors feel good
872
00:33:22,747 --> 00:33:24,685
is important,
and I love Brittney,

879
00:33:47,129 --> 00:33:48,498
It came at horrible
highs, and he
880
00:33:48,498 --> 00:33:50,368
stooped and had to declare.
881
00:33:50,368 --> 00:33:51,939
But that's a good ball
by Young to Cannon,
882
00:33:51,939 --> 00:33:53,709
helps out, then
feeds it inside.
883
00:33:53,709 --> 00:33:55,412
Now involved.
884
00:33:55,412 --> 00:33:56,782
It's a three on three, and
this time it's a big ball.
885

Cannon drills it.
886
00:34:05,700 --> 00:34:09,106
Cannon slams it
through Hinchcliffe's hands!

Come on, let's finish it out!
894

I do want to be playing.

a few more years in me

left yet to regularly play.
915

And as much as I would
love to stay and still
916

be a part of this journey,
I'll have nothing
917

about everything

What a year to bow out and
have that success behind you.

And Ben Tozer is
on the bench, who's
921
00:35:24,323 --> 00:35:27,263
been our captain for the
last couple of seasons,
922
00:35:27,263 --> 00:35:29,634

when we got promoted.

BEN: When I came to the club,
my goal and ambition
926
00:35:35,579 --> 00:35:37,550
was to get the
club to League One
927
00:35:37,550 --> 00:35:39,286
and play a massive
part in doing that.
928
00:35:39,286 --> 00:35:43,194
And to have achieved that,
for me, it's incredible.
929
00:35:43,194 --> 00:35:45,566
No bitterness whatsoever.
930
00:35:45,566 --> 00:35:47,837
Just I understood my role
off the pitch.
931
00:35:47,837 --> 00:35:51,110

I've done that well.

944

It gets more complicated.
945
00:36:19,567 --> 00:36:20,937
And, you know, this
summer is-- this
946
00:36:20,937 --> 00:36:22,272
is the hardest
because we're saying
947
00:36:22,272 --> 00:36:25,378
goodbye to some
absolutely central
948
00:36:25,378 --> 00:36:27,149
figures in that success.
949
00:36:27,149 --> 00:36:29,754
You know, people
like Rob Lainton,
950
00:36:29,754 --> 00:36:34,630
Jordan Tunnicliffe, Callum
McFadzean, Aaron Hayden.
951
00:36:34,630 --> 00:36:36,801
It's been a very
memorable three years,
952
00:36:36,801 --> 00:36:39,273
and I can now move on
to my next chapter,
953
00:36:39,273 --> 00:36:41,945
not in sadness, but
in pride and happiness
954
00:36:41,945 --> 00:36:44,651
of what I've achieved over my
last few years at the club.
955
00:36:44,651 --> 00:36:47,656
And I wish the club all
the best for the future.
956
00:36:50,195 --> 00:36:53,869
Also our star goalie, Arthur
Okonkwo, his loan is over.
957
00:36:53,869 --> 00:36:56,407
And we don't know where
he's going to sign.
958
00:36:56,407 --> 00:36:57,676
But the one thing for
certain is all those
959
00:36:57,676 --> 00:36:59,246
that players feel spoken to
960
00:36:59,246 --> 00:37:00,949
can be
really proud of the part
961
00:37:00,949 --> 00:37:02,720
that they've played
on this journey.
962
00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:05,826
They will rightly wear the
title of kind of legend here.
963
00:37:05,826 --> 00:37:09,033
They will always be part of
that double promotion team.
964
00:37:09,033 --> 00:37:10,770
I hope that none
of them will ever
965
00:37:10,770 --> 00:37:13,842
have to buy a drink within a
100 mile radius of the stadium.
966
00:37:13,842 --> 00:37:15,344
There's already been
a couple of managers
967
00:37:15,344 --> 00:37:17,616
that have rang me about all
the players we've let go,
968
00:37:17,616 --> 00:37:20,222
asking me
about them as people.
969
00:37:20,222 --> 00:37:21,525
And, obviously,
there's-- they know
970
00:37:21,525 --> 00:37:22,994
what they're like as players.
971
00:37:22,994 --> 00:37:25,331
So there's going to be a lot
of opportunities for them.
972
00:37:25,331 --> 00:37:27,603
But, unfortunately, in
football, you've got to evolve
973
00:37:27,603 --> 00:37:29,072
and you've got to
keep moving forward.
974
00:37:29,072 --> 00:37:32,245
As a personal
achievement, this is big.
975
00:37:32,245 --> 00:37:35,152

have pushed past something.
976
00:37:35,152 --> 00:37:39,426
My heart's like going.
977
00:37:44,771 --> 00:37:46,741

is not going to be

00:37:46,741 --> 00:37:48,178
perfect for every player.
979
00:37:48,178 --> 00:37:49,781
And this is a business
where tough decisions
980
00:37:49,781 --> 00:37:51,016
have to be made.
981
00:37:51,016 --> 00:37:55,158
Regardless, starting
a new chapter is hard.

00:40:21,316 --> 00:40:23,154
Can we go back to back to back?
1051
00:40:23,154 --> 00:40:24,624
Yes, we can.
1052
00:40:24,624 --> 00:40:26,828
SINGER: ♪ Whatever it takes ♪
1053
00:40:26,828 --> 00:40:28,064
It'll be harder for
success next year,
1054
00:40:28,064 --> 00:40:30,736
but you never know,
do you, with this club.
1055
00:40:30,736 --> 00:40:32,740
This is a
dare-to-dream scenario.
1056
00:40:32,740 --> 00:40:34,710
RYAN: We're all in.
1057
00:40:34,710 --> 00:40:36,247
We want blood,
and we want it now.
1058
00:40:36,247 --> 00:40:38,785
Let's go.
1059
00:40:38,785 --> 00:40:40,590
You know, the whole
world is looking
1060
00:40:40,590 --> 00:40:42,225
at Wrexham at the moment.
1061
00:40:42,225 --> 00:40:44,698
It's an enormous amount of
pride, not only to the club,
1062
00:40:44,698 --> 00:40:46,100
to the city.
1063
00:40:46,100 --> 00:40:50,375
The football has changed
the city completely.
1064
00:40:50,375 --> 00:40:53,749
Not just on match days,
on every day for every,
1065
00:40:53,749 --> 00:40:56,186
every single person in the
community, whether they
1066
00:40:56,186 --> 00:40:57,723
follow football or not.
1067
00:40:57,723 --> 00:41:00,696
And the football has had
an impact on their lives
1068
00:41:00,696 --> 00:41:02,833
one way or another.
1069
00:41:02,833 --> 00:41:04,504
Whoo!
1070
00:41:04,504 --> 00:41:06,641
ROB: League One is going to
be a huge challenge for us.
1071
00:41:06,641 --> 00:41:09,513
But Wrexham has
never and will never
1072
00:41:09,513 --> 00:41:11,317
back down from a challenge.
1073
00:41:11,317 --> 00:41:14,422
RYAN: They've overcome 15
years in the National League,
1074
00:41:14,422 --> 00:41:20,268
a terrible mining disaster,
personal challenges,
1075
00:41:20,268 --> 00:41:22,072
economic issues.
1076
00:41:22,072 --> 00:41:24,243
And while Wrexham
embraces its history,
1077
00:41:24,243 --> 00:41:26,213
it's always looking
to the future.
1078
00:41:26,213 --> 00:41:30,154
No team at this level has ever
gone back to back to back.
1079
00:41:30,154 --> 00:41:34,530
But it doesn't mean
it can't be done.
1080
00:41:34,530 --> 00:41:36,934
I'm excited
about League One.

Well, they're having
a great old time,

00:42:00,314 --> 00:42:01,483
aren't they, those guys?
1092
00:42:01,483 --> 00:42:02,719
And still those kids play on.
1093
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:03,922
Some finish, oh,
what a tackle that was.
1094
00:42:03,922 --> 00:42:05,191
You see that in front
of the goal?
1095
00:42:05,191 --> 00:42:07,797
Oh, great work.
1096
00:42:07,797 --> 00:42:09,099
Look at that.
1097
00:42:09,099 --> 00:42:10,334
ANNOUNCER: Oh,
challenge that was.
1098
00:42:10,334 --> 00:42:12,405
That is a proper--
that embrace tackle.
1099
00:42:12,405 --> 00:42:13,742
that is.
1100
00:42:13,742 --> 00:42:15,645
They all look about
the same age.

don't they, eh?
