20 Wrexham legends recount some of the magic moments that paved the way to the Welsh soccer club's recent successes. Since its foundation in 1864, Wrexham AFC has developed into one of the most respected clubs in football history. Their highlights over the years include reaching the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on three occasions. Before the 'Hollywood era' under the ownership of stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, their most notable achievement included their famous win over Arsenal in the 1992 FA Cup. There have been countless other highs, though, even before that amazing Mickey Thomas moment over 30 years ago. In this book, past players will take you behind the curtain and grant you an Access All Areas pass like no other. You've seen 'Welcome to Wrexham' - now find out what happened before the cameras started rolling. If you like Wrexham AFC and funny soccer anecdotes, you'll love this book.
