Think Lee Fowler deserves a mention. Regardless of people's feelings towards him and the few games he played, he was effortlessly good at times

[QUOTE=WasanActonlad;2040959]One of my favorite goals was an Ian Moir effort around 67 or 68, Oldham in the FA Cup, were 4-0 up, ended 4-2.
Moir's goal was towards the Tech end, mazy dribble down the right wing, cut in and unleashed a shot from edge of penalty box.


One wonders what they called the tech end before the the tech was built in early 50's.[/QUOTE]

I was at that game, Albert Kinsey scored a goal in front of the kop that almost burst the net

Wonder who will be the Wrexham legends of this era? Like, if there are fundraising events 20/30/40 years from now, who will be the "legends" who will speak at them??

[QUOTE=WasanActonlad;2040989]For those who recall him , how good was Wyn Davies when he played for Wrexham, it was a bit before my time, though I remember him for Newcastle and Wales late 60's.
Was it evident he was going to go on to better things[/QUOTE]

You take it from me for what you would call a local lad from the Welsh Coast he turned out to be one of our best ever number 9. A great header of a ball and a guy who would put himself around. Not a timid number 9. He left us to join Bolton and enjoyed fantastic times with both Newcastle and Man City. At Newcastle, he was known as the Mighty Wyn, which was a popular song called the Mighty Quinn at the time. He was well thought of at Newcastle and remains an hero that has worn the coveted number 9 shirt. Not bad wearing the Welsh shirt either!

Re: All our yesterdays- great ex players
 

Does anyone on here remember someone called Stanley Matthews playing for Wrexham.

Re: All our yesterdays- great ex players
 

Entertainers - Ian Moir, Bobby Shinton & Lee Trundle.

Great goals - Graham Whittle.

Legend - Arfon Griffiths

My favourite one club (490 games for Wxm FC) man, captain of our best team & 3 caps Wales - Gareth Davis.

Re: All our yesterdays- great ex players
 

The one man nobody has mentioned from that great 70's side, Mel Sutton. He made Wrexhams midfield. No frills but he never wasted a ball and brought the best out of the flair players. You don't need a team of fancy Dans just a balance and he provided it.
