Random Trophy Final Memory - RedPassion.co.uk

Had one of those Facebook memory things pop up this morning which I hope you won’t mind me indulging myself by sharing.Promotion from this league will be the next thing to get those tear glands going. I want us in the championship but league 2 is a start.

Anyhow this was it:

“Looking forward to watching my team at Wembley for the first time in their 149 year history. I will be going with my super little boy who hugged me with delight when hearing the FT whistle and confirmation we were there. A couple of his little mates will be going along with their dads who I count as some of my closest friends and Wrexham fans to a man (and girl) with Alan Williams and Simon Durnell (Rachel Durnell)

It's a tinpot cup but that matters not. A club that they tried to kill, saved by the love and passion of a few and now owned and run by many but only us supporters. I am tremendously proud of the achievement of just being here and a small tear may be shed as they take the field.

It's moments like this that win or loose on the day I wouldn't swap my team for any in the world.

Yma o Hyd”

Cried that day myself, especially when Wrexham is the Name was played!

Was very drunk that day.

It was cold.

Finally seeing my team play (and win) at Wembley....nuff said

36,000 at Wembley watching Wrexham - unreal.
Tin pot trophy my arse - it was our finest hour by a mile but oh so bitterly cold.
Final whistle - Wrexham is the name but my memory was when Bowie's 'Heroes' (for just one day' started blasting on the speakers - if ever a song captured the moment that was it.
Also the sportsmanship demonstrated by Dean Keates to the Grimsby players.
It takes two teams to create a final - always spare a thought for the losing team and their supporters - as we were soon to find out.

A certain Mr Pearson gave the pen away I believe.
