Wrexham FC's Rise and What It's Done to the Town
Seven years ago, Wrexham FC were in the National League. Crowds of three or four thousand rattling around the Racecourse on a Tuesday night. A club that had spent fifteen years outside the Football League and, if we're being honest, looked like it might stay that way.
