Welcome to Wrexham S1E6 "Hamilton!" discussion thread (spoilers)

[LMH23]

Surprised about the inaccuracies in this one but it's cathartic to finally show the world the hell Hamilton put the club through.

Surprised about the inaccuracies in this one but it's cathartic to finally show the world the hell Hamilton put the club through.

Have noticed some odd subtitling errors like "Mr Lovett" became "Mr Lowitz" when discussing Dave Lovett's funeral. Also, the 2014 date for the WST takeover was pretty glaring (no criticism of Geraint but the producers could've easily checked).

I sort of get why they didn't go into the Moss/Roberts stuff as it's more recent and could be dicey from a legal point of view, but to miss it out entirely was a bit strange.

All that said, I thought these two were probably two of the strongest episodes and Hamilton was the most obvious choice of villain given how blatant he was about wanting to move us from the Racecourse.

I've no idea where he lives these days, but I like the idea of him getting stick when he walks down the street after someone recognises him from the documentary. Even better if he's unaware that he's featured beforehand

I still find it amazing that he ventured on to the Kop during a match and didn't get a whack

A girl I was in secondary school with was holding Jacko by the scruff of his neck to stop him running from the back of the Kop to get at him.

strange looking bloke that Hamilton

I was one of the stewards in the Kop asked to make sure he didn't get a smack to the head. Completely surreal and I just hung back being one of the younger stewards. I still can't believe how well restrained the Wrexham fans and its only looking back I can see the bigger picture that a punch would have probably turned the public perception. The whole thing showed him up to be the arse he was trying to be that day.

If I remember correctly it wasn't long after his brain surgery either? Might be Mandela Effect but I seem to remember him having some form of bandage like a giant target.

The full week in/week out Youtube video is worth a watch for anyone discovering this from the Documentary. Uploaded by Rob Clarke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh7wqpZG_EY

Wonder why Geoff Moss wasn’t mentioned at all on that episode?

How much has he benefited from our demise?

Was Moss any worse than Hamilton? Watching that I feel lucky how lucky we were. That woman with the white scarf on could be on for a Grammy!

Almost cried watching that. Class from Shaun "Chester didn't do that did they"

 

[KingConnolly]

I cried like a baby throughout this episode. The best yet.

I also watched much of the episode through teary eyes. We will never go back to those dark old days.

People who are not football fans will never understand what the club you support and watch week in, week out, means to you. What a part it plays in your life

Hamilton was obvious in his intent, Moss/Roberts you could argue that they where incompetent business men when it came to running a football club.

I was on the kop that day, it was absolutely surreal, but most people knew exactly what he wanted by going on the Kop. Lots of restraint given the crowd around him, i will dig out the couple of pics i have and share - they aren't great.

A girl I was in secondary school with was holding Jacko by the scruff of his neck to stop him running from the back of the Kop to get at him.

She didn't do a very good job as the pictures I have of it he's in front of me.
