The ever smiling Fred Tomlinson led the club at board room level on that night.

Highlights of the match are shown from the 45 second mark.

Worthy of note - we also played the game in red shorts.

Can't believe it was 1976 - 42 years ago - feels like it was only a couple of weeks ago.
The ground had some atmosphere and the payers were all well known real characters and seemed to stay around for more than a season or two. Takes some believing looking back that there were 19,000 plus in the ground that night - when you look at it today.

It was Mickey Thomas. John Neal's tactic in European games was to play an extra midfielder in away games - Mickey Thomas, but then change to a more attack minded game for the home ties. This meant Brian Tinnion coming back on the right wing, I think!

Great display! That is the Holy Grail of all Wrexham shirts I would absolutely love one.

Graham Whittle played instead of Mickey for the return leg at the Racecourse. Brian Tinnion played in all six European games that season.

I wonder if in 30 years we will be asking questions about our home game against boreham wood?

Sounds about right. I think I can remember being on the kop and being disappointed that Mickey wasn't playing that night, although nowadays my memory is most often clouded.
