New FiD episode on the Barnet win and Rooster's funny stories
A slightly more cheerful FiD podcast is out today after two wins on the bounce. This week features part two of our interview with Kevin 'Rooster' Russell, when he had some pretty funny stories to share, mostly from his time working as Denis Smith's right hand man. The topics covered included: - Why he believes Wrexham would never have been relegated if Smith was kept on - The night Pryce Griffiths literally hit the tiles in Magaluf - How a dodgy Dutch goalkeeper led to the club getting a call from Interpol - What it was like working for a club in administration - The time he came close to returning to the club during the non-league years - A classic Rooster prank that sent players into a panic over some half-inched golf clubs There's also some chat about the Barnet win, the rites of passage Rob and Ryan should undertake when they come to Wrexham and the return of Shitey Heroes as we pick the first of three strikers for our worst XI. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4VZ...Q_Kb8dCux9YRcg

The Pryce story and how Rooster tells it is the funniest thing I’ve heard in years

Re: Kev Russell on interpol, golf club prank and TRUTH behind Xavi Valero
For S****y Heroes - if it's a matter of the biggest disappointment, or the biggest gap between expectation and reality, then surely one Ian James Rush has to be given consideration; I remember bouncing along to Preston Away as a youngster, full of excitement to see the great man potentially turn out for Wrexham, only to see what seemed to me at the time an elderly man strolling around the pitch taking up a spot that could have been used to field an actual football player.
That's probably a bit harsh, and he was only 37 at the time (my youthful lack of perspective would probably have put him at, oh, 50ish if you'd asked me outside Deepdale afterwards), but I don't think I've ever been as disappointed to see a player live. |
