Re: Wrexham’s Oldest Footage ?
Those defenders need to learn to stay on their feet. VAR would have a field day
One of the things that stands out though is how quickly the keeper kicks the ball. Takes an age to restart the game these days - with Lainton being particularly bad for it. Last edited by tokyored; 22nd February 2021 at 12.24:41.. |

Re: Wrexham’s Oldest Footage ?
I think back then the rules were that a gk could only bounce the ball if he wanted to move with it , allied to the shoulder charge rule which was still in use , then if you were a keeper you probably wanted to get rid of the ball ASAP !

Re: Wrexham’s Oldest Footage ?
Interesting to see Tommy Bannan who was a good player for the town. Another player who was a miner, came from Scotland, also worked in our coalfield and played semi pro. So many like him in the 1950's 60's. How would the cosseted players today have managed?

Re: Wrexham’s Oldest Footage ?
Glyn Hughes of Llay ex-Sheffield Wednesday was a good all round local sportsman including cricket and later bowls. A fine winger, he had the beating of most left backs in Division 3 North, except the great George Hardwick, player manager of Oldham Athletic. Tommy Bannan like many sportsmen at that time chose a mining career to avoid national service!
