We all have views as to what went wrong and when.

Lots of things have gone wrong over those decades, as well as getting alot of things right but we were punching well above our size through the 70s and significantly assisted by qualification into Europe via the Welsh Cup.

For me it was going to Anderlecht, with my late dad on a Majestic Travel trip. It was March 1975 and a flight from Manchester. Wandering around Brussels tasting this new tangled Stella Artois - did it catch on?
The city centre was full of dream cars, but all overshadowed when a Tecwyn Price coach flew round a corner with Eric Woodfine shouting at us. The Stadium was full and the locals plied us with Brandy. Considering the form book suggested a 4-0 home win, we did amazing to keep them down to one nil. Mickey Evans did ever so well against local hero Rob Rensenbrinck. As a 14 year old lad, I couldn’t imagine life getting better than this. A magic day out.

Fantastic times Willy.I was a few years to young for that game,could you tell me what kind of following did Wrexham take to Belguim.

Last ever Welsh Cup final in the Arms Park against Cardiff. Both won the cup the same amount of times and our last ever year in it Beating them in Cardiff was amazing. Carrington goal at Stoke was amazing, Keiran Durkin putting us one nil up at United. Beating Middlesbrough with all their starts. Beating west ham away.

Thinking about it, does anyone really believe them good times will ever come back in our lifetime?

Does anyone remember this classic relegation 6 pointer? We were both bottom 2 with one team going down

Great game.

Never knew Andy Marriott played for them that day

Vivid memories of that match as we were losing 1 - 2.
During the game we had every type of weather imaginable.
I was on the Kop and it was if an electric switch was flicked - the weather blew up, wind was howling and we were kicking towards the kop - as though the Gods were willing us to win and so we did with 2 goals.
It was a massive game at the time as we were running neck and neck for bottom spot and relegation - think ex Ipswich Town and England full back Mick Mills was the manager of Colchester United at the time.

Also whilst talking about Colchester - the season we gained promotion mid week by winning 0 - 2 at Northampton - the following Saturday we played our final league game at home to Colchester - nearly 10,000 there to see us win in an enthralling match 4 - 3 with a late Steve Watkin winner in the kop end.
Colour, scarves, ticker tape - game played in an electric atmosphere and on the pitch at the final whistle in our thousands.

We truly did have some magical times under the reign of Brian Flynn.

I have 3 , the 7 - 1 promotion victory against Rotherham , the win away at Northampton
again to clinch promotion , and the fantastic 3- 1 fa cup win at Birmingham 😊

I'll throw in beating Cloughie's Forest 3-1 in the FA Cup; Durkin scoring to put us one up at United (again in the FA Cup); Beating Chesterfield 6-0 in the best all-round display I've seen (Ashcroft scored 4) - all these away from home!

Top three in reverse order -
Cheesy's equaliser against Brighton at their place
King Karl sealing the 3-1 Cup win at Birmingham

and the winner, Noddy's equaliser v Arsenal, absolute bedlam

Oh so many cup wins...Arsenal has to forever be my number one with my dad and grandad either side of me as a 9 year old sat in the Yale...I’ll take it to my grave! Brum away was super special, as was West Ham away. Middlesbrough at home and West Ham at home in the snow!! Got to add Wembley and Cardiff victories in cup finals..a few Wembley lows offset it though. Brentford away was magic. Going 1-0 up at Old Trafford...

Luton away when we lost but the chant of ‘We’re proud of you!’ just made the hairs stand up and was more emotional than most games I’ve ever witnessed. It was a true ‘I’m Wrexham til I die’ moment due to the camaraderie on display and the true love and dedication for a team.

The day I was a ball boy at Cae Ras having not expected it when I arrived at the ground for a league game vs Rotherham when we had a wooden stand on the Mold Road...the roar when we scored was immense at pitch level, again hairs on end. Getting the ball from behind the cladding just seemed strange as the old stand was still there and it felt so spooky to see such a wonderful piece of our history empty when the game was going on.

The day we almost disappeared from existence and kids with piggy banks and deeds to properties turned up to aid the cause. Only Wrexham fans would manage what we did that day...proven by Bury recently (very sadly I add!).

Thanks for setting up this thread...needed to be reminded of the good times!!

Great post mate! A forgotten classic.

Very big gate at the time 4600.

It was the lull after the Dixie Leyton Orient play off defeat when we were getting 2000 tops. Bad times.

The start of the Flynn rebuild.

Every generation has their special moments.

I never saw the classic 70/80s teams people rave about. Old Div 2, European nights and Jim Steel 😀

But I saw the Leyton Orient play off game. Saw the fa cup antics and a promotion to old div 3 and Ian rush debut. And Lyngby, our Porto 😬

The next generation just know the fallout from the Hamilton, M0ss era.

Still some good memories tho.

Staying up v Boston
Getting Wrexham conference tour t shirts 13 years ago. Won 5-1.
Fa trophy. Both games memorable 😬
98 point season team
That vose goal.
Stoke
Salford

We will be back
