1
00:00:06,599 --> 00:00:11,044
[Parkinson] There's
a fucking belief about us
2
00:00:11,045 --> 00:00:13,391
because everyone will start thinking
we're promoted now, won't they?
3
00:00:13,392 --> 00:00:16,222
You know what I mean? I You know
And I'm convinced after that Burton game.
4
00:00:16,223 --> 00:00:18,638
So we're gonna block
all that out. We don't get carried away,
5
00:00:18,639 --> 00:00:23,126
we keep our feet on the fucking ground,
and we get ready for fucking war. [echoes]
6
00:00:23,264 --> 00:00:26,405
[Griffiths]
With just five games remaining in the season,
7
00:00:26,543 --> 00:00:29,270
we take a big step forward
towards that dream
8
00:00:29,408 --> 00:00:31,686
of back-to-back-to-back
promotions.
9
00:00:31,687 --> 00:00:34,861
[McElhenney] Going back to the beginning
of the season, we were picked,
10
00:00:34,862 --> 00:00:39,591
based on almost every opinion,
to be, hopefully, mid-table.
11
00:00:39,729 --> 00:00:41,834
I think
they'll miss out this year.
12
00:00:41,835 --> 00:00:44,491
Couple of years in League One.
It's got to be a slow progression.
13
00:00:44,492 --> 00:00:47,253
It's very true. It's a very difficult league.
It's a big jump for us.
14
00:00:47,254 --> 00:00:48,738
- The jump
- Might be too big.
15
00:00:48,876 --> 00:00:50,636
might be too big this year.
16
00:00:50,774 --> 00:00:53,225
I think everybody had, um,
17
00:00:53,363 --> 00:00:54,985
measured expectations.
18
00:00:54,986 --> 00:00:57,608
As long as
we escape relegation, I'll be happy. [chuckles]
19
00:00:57,609 --> 00:01:00,991
[Griffiths] A lot of people say
consolidation this season.
20
00:01:01,130 --> 00:01:03,615
There was
a lot of talk of consolidation.
21
00:01:03,753 --> 00:01:05,443
You need to settle in
for a while,
22
00:01:05,444 --> 00:01:08,094
figure out what you need to do
to get to the next level.
23
00:01:08,137 --> 00:01:11,207
If I'm being honest,
I don't really know what that word means.
24
00:01:11,554 --> 00:01:14,246
We just went all in and
25
00:01:14,971 --> 00:01:16,283
[chuckles]
26
00:01:16,284 --> 00:01:18,249
- [Griffiths] Marriott hits it!
- [cheering]
27
00:01:18,250 --> 00:01:20,148
[Fay] Wrexham are on the brink
of making history
28
00:01:20,149 --> 00:01:23,635
with a third straight promotion
now within touching distance.
29
00:01:23,773 --> 00:01:25,671
I'm believing now.
I am believing.
30
00:01:26,155 --> 00:01:29,503
[Moore] They've really exceeded
expectations in this league.
31
00:01:29,641 --> 00:01:32,831
[Fay] They are
on the brink of history, back-to-back-to-back.
32
00:01:32,832 --> 00:01:34,817
[Roberts] It's difficult
to put into words
33
00:01:34,818 --> 00:01:36,208
- how hard that is.
- Come on!
34
00:01:36,303 --> 00:01:37,649
It's incredible.
35
00:01:38,339 --> 00:01:42,964
So with five games to go, those measured
expectations have changed somewhat.
36
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:45,070
- We're going up!
- Up the town.
37
00:01:45,208 --> 00:01:48,578
A lot of people think
we're gonna do it, aren't we? The three in a row.
38
00:01:49,661 --> 00:01:51,525
Wrexham!
39
00:01:51,526 --> 00:01:55,010
It's expected because
that's what we've done the two previous seasons.
40
00:01:55,011 --> 00:01:57,082
Town's going up!
Town's going up!
41
00:01:57,220 --> 00:02:02,536
Not only do you want to be promoted
again and make history, you almost have to.
42
00:02:02,674 --> 00:02:03,934
Back-to-back-to-back!
43
00:02:03,985 --> 00:02:06,195
And then it gets
really fucking stressful.
44
00:02:06,333 --> 00:02:07,851
Back-to-back-to-back!
45
00:02:09,198 --> 00:02:12,511
Never been done before.
Town's going up.
46
00:02:13,478 --> 00:02:17,328
If I can't feel optimistic now,
I don't think football's for me, to be honest.
47
00:02:17,329 --> 00:02:21,070
[Jones] When you flash back to, like,
the club being 12 hours away from going bust,
48
00:02:21,071 --> 00:02:22,693
the supporters just having to
rally around
49
00:02:22,694 --> 00:02:24,798
and people having to put
deeds up for their houses.
50
00:02:24,799 --> 00:02:26,767
Just stop for five minutes
51
00:02:26,768 --> 00:02:29,148
and think about what the football
club's gone through in the last 30 years.
52
00:02:29,149 --> 00:02:32,699
We're five games away
from history, and the fans get what they deserve.
53
00:02:33,187 --> 00:02:38,365
It's easy to get carried away,
of course, but we've got to be careful
54
00:02:38,503 --> 00:02:41,933
because there's still
every possibility that we could do a Wrexham.
55
00:02:42,092 --> 00:02:44,094
We've seen it so often
in the past where
56
00:02:44,095 --> 00:02:47,476
we'd snatch defeat
from the jaws of victory, as they say.
57
00:02:47,477 --> 00:02:50,239
Five games, sitting pretty.
58
00:02:50,377 --> 00:02:53,518
At what point do you think
we'll Wrexham it?
59
00:02:58,937 --> 00:03:02,665
[Griffiths] Welcome to
The Brick Community Stadium.
60
00:03:02,803 --> 00:03:07,739
Another big, big game
as Wrexham push on to try and make history.
61
00:03:07,877 --> 00:03:11,467
[fans cheering]
62
00:03:11,605 --> 00:03:15,471
[Harvey] With Birmingham
now promoted and effectively champions elect,
63
00:03:15,609 --> 00:03:19,060
you know, we're now in a direct
fight with Wycombe Wanderers
64
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,787
for that last
automatic promotion place.
65
00:03:21,925 --> 00:03:24,652
We've also got to be conscious
of Stockport County
66
00:03:24,790 --> 00:03:26,723
and Charlton Athletic
behind us.
67
00:03:26,861 --> 00:03:29,623
With five games to go,
things are in our own hands.
68
00:03:29,761 --> 00:03:31,521
Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!
69
00:03:31,522 --> 00:03:33,798
A little nervous,
yeah, I think you do at this stage of the season,
70
00:03:33,799 --> 00:03:35,352
but I think we've been used
to it over the last few years now.
71
00:03:35,353 --> 00:03:36,975
[fan] Wycombe right behind us.
72
00:03:37,113 --> 00:03:40,081
We've got to win pretty much
every game now to keep ahead.
73
00:03:40,082 --> 00:03:43,083
[Griffiths]
Fasten your seat belts 'cause, I tell you,
74
00:03:43,084 --> 00:03:45,432
Wrexham are gonna make
a lot of noise.
75
00:03:45,570 --> 00:03:48,020
Wrexham led out
by James McClean
76
00:03:48,158 --> 00:03:52,542
against his old club that
he served with distinction.
77
00:03:52,543 --> 00:03:55,924
And here we go, Wrexham
getting things underway.
78
00:03:55,925 --> 00:03:57,444
James dinking over the top.
79
00:03:57,445 --> 00:03:59,410
That's a good ball for Smith,
left channel.
80
00:03:59,411 --> 00:04:01,861
- Forced wide, flag goes up.
- Was that offside, Jonah?
81
00:04:01,862 --> 00:04:06,280
Matty James shapes the switch, then
pulls it to the left and gets the path wrong.
82
00:04:06,418 --> 00:04:08,938
I see Paul Mullin is here
with the away fans.
83
00:04:09,076 --> 00:04:10,284
That's quite a surprise.
84
00:04:10,905 --> 00:04:13,322
Wrexham boxed in now,
Mellish feeding it back.
85
00:04:13,460 --> 00:04:17,498
Long-range shot
is a spectacular one, and Okonkwo gets down.
86
00:04:17,636 --> 00:04:19,051
I think he had it covered.
87
00:04:19,052 --> 00:04:21,501
That's fucking nowhere near
fucking good enough.
88
00:04:21,502 --> 00:04:24,402
Smithy, second fucking best.
Longy, second best.
89
00:04:24,403 --> 00:04:26,817
Maxie, weak as piss
in that fucking challenge.
90
00:04:26,818 --> 00:04:30,753
Wigan away was a tough one
'cause we obviously could have played better.
91
00:04:30,754 --> 00:04:33,755
[Griffiths]
Elliot Lee, good ball to the edge of the area.
92
00:04:33,756 --> 00:04:36,379
Oh, and it went through
Fletcher's legs.
93
00:04:36,517 --> 00:04:37,863
Fucking hell!
94
00:04:37,864 --> 00:04:39,968
- [whistle blows]
- [Griffiths] And that is that.
95
00:04:39,969 --> 00:04:42,765
Wigan have earned
a goalless draw against Wrexham,
96
00:04:42,903 --> 00:04:47,079
and it looks like Wycombe
are going to win with an injury time goal.
97
00:04:47,217 --> 00:04:50,669
We said one goal could
make all the difference,
98
00:04:50,807 --> 00:04:53,983
and Wrexham have dropped
two points here.
99
00:04:53,984 --> 00:04:56,364
Wycombe look like
they're gonna get the three.
100
00:04:56,365 --> 00:04:58,642
We gotta be fucking ready
if we're gonna get promotion.
101
00:04:58,643 --> 00:05:01,161
Well, forget promotion if we're gonna
fucking get anything out of this game.
102
00:05:01,162 --> 00:05:05,408
[Salt] Wigan was as bad
as I've seen us playing in a long, long time.
103
00:05:05,546 --> 00:05:08,929
Dare I say a slight bit of
fatigue, complacency.
104
00:05:08,930 --> 00:05:10,826
I thought fatigue
was definitely a factor.
105
00:05:10,827 --> 00:05:13,242
I thought some of those players
looked pretty tired.
106
00:05:13,243 --> 00:05:15,555
What do you think about
Mullin being up at the Wigan game there?
107
00:05:15,556 --> 00:05:18,489
I've known players
to come and watch Wrexham after they'd left,
108
00:05:18,490 --> 00:05:21,458
but I've never known
a player to come while he's still on the books.
109
00:05:21,459 --> 00:05:23,079
While he's under contract, yeah.
110
00:05:23,184 --> 00:05:25,594
You know, this must be
some friction somewhere.
111
00:05:25,704 --> 00:05:27,257
[fans chanting]
112
00:05:27,396 --> 00:05:30,122
[Griffiths] Welcome to
this massive, massive match.
113
00:05:30,260 --> 00:05:34,368
Wrexham at home to Bristol Rovers,
who are fighting for their lives.
114
00:05:34,506 --> 00:05:38,372
Four matches left. The stakes
are exceptionally high.
115
00:05:38,510 --> 00:05:41,099
There's one point
between us and Wycombe, so
116
00:05:41,237 --> 00:05:43,032
I feel more nervous
than ever now.
117
00:05:43,033 --> 00:05:44,377
Squeaky bum time now, innit?
118
00:05:44,378 --> 00:05:45,723
Squeaky bum, I think, innit?
119
00:05:45,724 --> 00:05:47,622
- Squeaky bum time.
- It is squeaky bum time.
120
00:05:47,623 --> 00:05:51,178
So, the Good Friday game,
we're at home to Bristol Rovers,
121
00:05:51,316 --> 00:05:52,800
and Mr. McElhenney's in town.
122
00:05:52,801 --> 00:05:55,630
[McElhenney] Okay, here we go.
I'll get down to my spot.
123
00:05:55,631 --> 00:05:58,341
[Harvey] Wrexham are always
favorite for home games
124
00:05:58,342 --> 00:06:00,462
and particularly when
we're second in the league.
125
00:06:00,463 --> 00:06:04,294
Yet, you know, we have to make
sure that we do what everybody expects
126
00:06:04,433 --> 00:06:06,124
and pick up
another three points.
127
00:06:06,125 --> 00:06:09,402
[Griffiths] We've just got to
win this, haven't we? No matter how.
128
00:06:09,403 --> 00:06:11,232
They want to beat us bad.
129
00:06:11,233 --> 00:06:13,441
[Griffiths]
It's Rathbone inside. Cleworth 25 yards out.
130
00:06:13,442 --> 00:06:15,719
They're backing off him.
He's in the box. He hits it.
131
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,825
- Oh, that's a great save.
- [groaning]
132
00:06:17,963 --> 00:06:20,345
Barnett cuts inside
easily again, squares it.
133
00:06:20,483 --> 00:06:24,314
Lee's got space here. Tell Tom to shoot.
He does, but he took a bit of time.
134
00:06:24,453 --> 00:06:27,559
We're better than this team.
We just got to put one in.
135
00:06:28,457 --> 00:06:30,597
Here is
the away-swinging corner. It's in.
136
00:06:30,976 --> 00:06:35,325
And Bristol Rovers are looking
to pull off a real shock here.
137
00:06:35,326 --> 00:06:37,603
I'm gonna go sit with
the Philly crew for a little bit
138
00:06:37,604 --> 00:06:41,677
and kind of hopefully
change up the the juju.
139
00:06:41,815 --> 00:06:44,645
Let's go, let's go.
We need something.
140
00:06:44,783 --> 00:06:46,992
Longman delivers
to the far post.
141
00:06:47,130 --> 00:06:50,582
Fletcher gets up, heads it over the bar.
That was a huge, huge chance.
142
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,033
The Wrexham crowd
really getting up here.
143
00:06:53,171 --> 00:06:56,301
Longman chance to cross,
digs the ball into that six-yard box.
144
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:58,245
Headed, path clear. Driven in!
145
00:06:58,383 --> 00:07:00,420
[cheering]
146
00:07:01,179 --> 00:07:07,496
Wrexham pulls it back!
The 76th minute, and Matty James, a great finish.
147
00:07:07,634 --> 00:07:12,397
And he wheels his arms,
telling the crowd to get on their feet.
148
00:07:12,846 --> 00:07:14,744
Just one. Just one.
149
00:07:14,882 --> 00:07:19,231
[Griffiths]
Thirteen minutes left, one all. It's not enough.
150
00:07:19,369 --> 00:07:21,510
This is where
the Wrexham magic happens.
151
00:07:21,511 --> 00:07:24,684
Sweeps it with height
beyond the far post. Lee heads it back in.
152
00:07:24,685 --> 00:07:28,235
Defender gets a touch,
it's in the goalmouth and Ward gets there first.
153
00:07:28,275 --> 00:07:31,002
Wrexham looking for
this most precious goal.
154
00:07:31,140 --> 00:07:34,419
Bristol Rovers
fighting like hell, defending their box.
155
00:07:34,557 --> 00:07:36,973
Cleworth helps it on,
James puts it off target.
156
00:07:37,698 --> 00:07:42,220
And Bristol Rovers
have come here and dealt Wrexham a huge blow,
157
00:07:42,358 --> 00:07:44,533
and we have dropped two points.
158
00:07:44,671 --> 00:07:49,296
Wycombe have gone 2-nil up
as well at Bolton, so they will be
159
00:07:49,434 --> 00:07:51,850
into the top two.
160
00:07:51,988 --> 00:07:54,059
[Cleworth] It felt like a loss.
161
00:07:54,060 --> 00:07:56,854
We sort of had to win that game
just to stay ahead of Wycombe, but we didn't.
162
00:07:56,855 --> 00:08:01,066
And so Wycombe jumped in front of
us, and with three games to go, you know,
163
00:08:01,067 --> 00:08:02,722
it's out of your hands
at that stage.
164
00:08:02,723 --> 00:08:05,588
The 1-1 draw
was a massive disappointment.
165
00:08:05,726 --> 00:08:08,695
So that's two draws
on a back-to-back basis.
166
00:08:09,212 --> 00:08:10,962
Things are no longer
in our hands,
167
00:08:11,042 --> 00:08:14,424
and you can see and sense
the mood amongst the players.
168
00:08:14,425 --> 00:08:16,011
It's gonna come
down to the wire.
169
00:08:16,012 --> 00:08:17,738
It's gonna go down
to the last day.
170
00:08:17,739 --> 00:08:19,739
And when you look at
the fixtures ahead for both sides,
171
00:08:19,740 --> 00:08:23,157
every game now is a cup final,
every game matters so much.
172
00:08:27,866 --> 00:08:31,717
Discipline needs to improve,
boys, come on.
173
00:08:31,718 --> 00:08:34,444
We're two years
into our Category 3 academy.
174
00:08:34,583 --> 00:08:37,965
For us to finish second
in the league table against these top clubs
175
00:08:37,966 --> 00:08:40,726
is testament to the good work
and the support that we've had
176
00:08:40,727 --> 00:08:42,176
in setting up the academy.
177
00:08:42,314 --> 00:08:43,364
Keep the tempo up!
178
00:08:43,365 --> 00:08:46,041
But in terms of the lads'
progress and development,
179
00:08:46,042 --> 00:08:47,975
they come in
as first-year scholars
180
00:08:47,976 --> 00:08:50,908
and they're straightaway thinking
they're gonna get a professional contract.
181
00:08:50,909 --> 00:08:52,719
- Quicker.
- That's why they're here.
182
00:08:52,850 --> 00:08:59,917
We're now towards the end of
the season, and this is the point where players
183
00:08:59,918 --> 00:09:03,300
will find out whether they will
receive professional contracts or not.
184
00:09:03,301 --> 00:09:06,191
[academy manager] Leanne,
David, Bryn, great to see you.
185
00:09:06,235 --> 00:09:07,615
It's that time of the season
186
00:09:07,616 --> 00:09:09,789
where we discuss
some next steps, et cetera.
187
00:09:09,790 --> 00:09:12,412
And I think the first thing
I wanna do is just thank you for your time.
188
00:09:12,413 --> 00:09:13,793
You've been here a long time.
189
00:09:13,794 --> 00:09:15,623
Because you're such
a great character,
190
00:09:15,624 --> 00:09:17,494
these decisions
become even harder.
191
00:09:17,798 --> 00:09:21,708
Unfortunately, Bryn, we won't be offering
you registration for next season.
192
00:09:23,114 --> 00:09:24,391
Okay.
193
00:09:25,116 --> 00:09:30,017
I know it's tough to take.
You're a committed, fantastic young man.
194
00:09:37,818 --> 00:09:40,338
We want to support you,
so that coaching side.
195
00:09:40,821 --> 00:09:44,731
You're still very young, you've got
a massive part of your future ahead of you.
196
00:09:49,796 --> 00:09:51,867
You are a fantastic young man.
197
00:09:52,005 --> 00:09:53,351
- You really are.
- Thanks.
198
00:09:53,352 --> 00:09:55,076
I was quite confident
going into the meeting
199
00:09:55,077 --> 00:09:57,367
that he would be able to see
the wider picture
200
00:09:57,368 --> 00:10:00,322
and be able to use the skills
that he's gained here at the academy.
201
00:10:00,323 --> 00:10:04,258
And there's no doubt in my mind
Bryn's gonna go on to have a fantastic future.
202
00:10:07,020 --> 00:10:10,195
- How we feeling? How we doing?
- Yeah, fine. Okay, yeah. So
203
00:10:10,196 --> 00:10:14,060
We're really nervous,
me and my mum, my dad and my little brother come.
204
00:10:14,061 --> 00:10:16,787
Probably the biggest day of me life.
I just try to be as chill as possible.
205
00:10:16,788 --> 00:10:18,375
All right,
first and foremost, Tom,
206
00:10:18,376 --> 00:10:19,997
- I want to talk about you
as a person. - Yeah.
207
00:10:19,998 --> 00:10:22,288
Absolute credit
to yourself and your family.
208
00:10:22,289 --> 00:10:25,451
Your attitude, your commitment
on the field, off the field
209
00:10:25,452 --> 00:10:28,800
is absolutely exactly
as it should be, so thank you for that.
210
00:10:29,180 --> 00:10:32,610
There's been some
tough decisions, and we're at the stage now where
211
00:10:32,611 --> 00:10:35,392
we'd like offer you
a professional contract.
212
00:10:35,393 --> 00:10:38,603
- Well done. [chuckling]
- [sighs, chuckles]
213
00:11:01,315 --> 00:11:06,251
? You'll get there
Because we know you can ?
214
00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:10,635
? Run, Humphrey, run, Humphrey
Run, run, run ?
215
00:11:10,773 --> 00:11:15,847
So, eight months ago, I made
a [sighs] um, shall we say, impulsive declaration
216
00:11:15,985 --> 00:11:18,954
that if the foundation
did not raise enough money
217
00:11:18,955 --> 00:11:21,921
for the Wrexham Miners Project
that I would run a marathon.
218
00:11:21,922 --> 00:11:24,406
- [Ganz] There he is. Good job.
- [chuckles, groans]
219
00:11:24,407 --> 00:11:27,617
When I started my training,
I could run without stopping
220
00:11:27,756 --> 00:11:32,588
I don't know if
I mean, if I was being chased by a dog with a gun
221
00:11:32,726 --> 00:11:34,210
[Ganz] First seven-mile run.
222
00:11:34,348 --> 00:11:35,453
quarter of a mile?
223
00:11:35,591 --> 00:11:37,420
- My back hurts.
- Oh, my God.
224
00:11:38,490 --> 00:11:39,595
I've gotten sciatica.
225
00:11:39,733 --> 00:11:42,598
- [groaning]
- My left knee locked up.
226
00:11:42,736 --> 00:11:44,911
[panting, exhales deeply]
227
00:11:45,049 --> 00:11:48,397
- [both laughing]
- This is not an act.
228
00:11:49,605 --> 00:11:51,295
Mostly,
I've just hated running.
229
00:11:51,365 --> 00:11:52,573
This is miserable!
230
00:11:53,367 --> 00:11:57,199
Now, very unfortunately,
I have to go and do the marathon.
231
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,857
[announcer]
You are at the start of your epic, epic adventure
232
00:12:00,858 --> 00:12:05,103
that is the 2025
Manchester Marathon.
233
00:12:07,934 --> 00:12:08,984
Yeah.
234
00:12:09,659 --> 00:12:13,077
- [horn blows]
- [cheering]
235
00:12:16,736 --> 00:12:18,013
[cheers]
236
00:12:19,773 --> 00:12:23,812
[McElhenney] I knew that he was gonna
find himself getting into great shape
237
00:12:23,950 --> 00:12:25,434
and he was gonna feel great.
238
00:12:25,572 --> 00:12:27,367
Keep going! Keep going!
239
00:12:27,368 --> 00:12:30,162
[McElhenney] And that this was
going to be life-changing for him
240
00:12:30,163 --> 00:12:33,442
and that he was then
gonna embrace fitness.
241
00:12:33,580 --> 00:12:36,617
- Humphrey, let's go!
- Yes, lad!
242
00:12:36,618 --> 00:12:38,446
And that's not what happened.
243
00:12:38,447 --> 00:12:39,759
[groans] Aw.
244
00:12:39,897 --> 00:12:42,140
Sorry. Oh, my God, sorry.
245
00:12:42,762 --> 00:12:45,972
At no point did he enjoy it.
246
00:12:47,180 --> 00:12:50,252
Miles 17 to 21,
everything felt like lead.
247
00:12:50,942 --> 00:12:53,220
And then, yeah, the nipples.
248
00:12:54,290 --> 00:12:56,914
Yeah, the old nips fell off, basically.
249
00:13:01,504 --> 00:13:03,161
They're actually fine now.
250
00:13:03,162 --> 00:13:06,439
Yeah, it did look slightly
like I'd been shot
251
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,202
with a sort of very
low-caliber bullet. [chuckles]
252
00:13:09,340 --> 00:13:11,169
[crowd cheering]
253
00:13:11,170 --> 00:13:14,758
[announcer 2] Three cheers,
you've crossed the line. Well done, ladies.
254
00:13:14,759 --> 00:13:16,450
Many congratulations.
255
00:13:16,588 --> 00:13:18,004
Well done.
256
00:13:18,487 --> 00:13:19,557
Hey.
257
00:13:19,695 --> 00:13:22,456
Wrexham, Wrexham,
Wrexham, Wrexham.
258
00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:29,394
I know full well all I
have to do is cross that line
259
00:13:29,532 --> 00:13:34,089
and then fucking Rob and Ryan
have to pay up 50 grand to the miners.
260
00:13:43,684 --> 00:13:45,894
[chuckling]
261
00:13:46,032 --> 00:13:47,516
Can you endure a hug?
262
00:13:47,517 --> 00:13:50,656
- I completed
the Manchester marathon - Thank you so much.
263
00:13:50,657 --> 00:13:52,452
and saw Rob.
264
00:13:52,453 --> 00:13:54,418
And then behind him,
much more importantly,
265
00:13:54,419 --> 00:13:56,075
people from
Wrexham Miners Project.
266
00:13:56,076 --> 00:13:58,486
You know, you run a marathon
because it it sucks
267
00:13:58,527 --> 00:14:00,840
and that's why people
sponsor you to do it.
268
00:14:02,048 --> 00:14:03,704
And it really sucked.
269
00:14:03,705 --> 00:14:07,569
Sort of directly proportional
to the amount of money we ended up raising.
270
00:14:07,570 --> 00:14:12,852
? Run, Humphrey, run, Humphrey
Run, run, run ?
271
00:14:18,754 --> 00:14:21,377
Wrexham! Wrexham!
272
00:14:21,378 --> 00:14:23,275
This time
we're going to Blackpool.
273
00:14:23,276 --> 00:14:25,173
Again, another team that's
played in the Premier League,
274
00:14:25,174 --> 00:14:27,452
currently tenth in the table.
275
00:14:27,453 --> 00:14:29,937
Now your season boils down
to maybe three games.
276
00:14:29,938 --> 00:14:31,318
The pressure comes onto it.
277
00:14:31,319 --> 00:14:33,354
The fans and expectations
that they have
278
00:14:33,355 --> 00:14:35,425
and fans, all leading up to
these playoff games.
279
00:14:35,426 --> 00:14:38,670
"Come on,
we want to get promoted." And it gets so big.
280
00:14:38,671 --> 00:14:41,603
We can taste it. We're so close
to promotion, we can taste it,
281
00:14:41,604 --> 00:14:45,436
but I mean,
we keep dropping points. Very frustrating.
282
00:14:45,815 --> 00:14:49,509
It's a crucial game,
with Wycombe picking up points the other day.
283
00:14:50,268 --> 00:14:53,306
Today is the sort of, you know,
do or die really.
284
00:14:53,444 --> 00:14:56,274
I think that Wycombe will be
the more likely to go ahead,
285
00:14:56,275 --> 00:14:58,620
especially with the one point
advantage, with three left.
286
00:14:58,621 --> 00:15:00,622
I think Wycombe have
the experience as well,
287
00:15:00,623 --> 00:15:03,764
more so in this division
in this league. There's a lot at stake.
288
00:15:06,215 --> 00:15:08,562
It's a huge day of matches
in League One.
289
00:15:08,700 --> 00:15:13,326
If Wrexham lose against Blackpool and
Wycombe win their match against Charlton,
290
00:15:13,464 --> 00:15:16,363
Wycombe will take
a significant lead over Wrexham.
291
00:15:16,501 --> 00:15:22,473
And our hopes of regaining that automatic
promotion spot may start slipping away.
292
00:15:22,611 --> 00:15:25,338
The pressure from the outside
was on us
293
00:15:25,476 --> 00:15:27,202
after two draws.
294
00:15:27,203 --> 00:15:30,307
Every cunt's
written us off, aren't they? Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em.
295
00:15:30,308 --> 00:15:32,345
Let's go and fucking show 'em.
Come on.
296
00:15:32,483 --> 00:15:33,967
Let's fucking go!
297
00:15:34,105 --> 00:15:36,901
- Thank you!
- Let's go. We're sitting right here.
298
00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:40,525
That's Rob McElhenney
down there. I just realized, in the crowd.
299
00:15:40,663 --> 00:15:43,045
- All right, let's go.
Squeeze in. - [cheering]
300
00:15:43,183 --> 00:15:48,671
Listen to this noise from the Wrexham
fans as Wrexham get things underway.
301
00:15:48,809 --> 00:15:50,880
- Come on.
- Poor ball by Coulson.
302
00:15:50,881 --> 00:15:53,606
Longman hits the shot.
It's blocked. Chance at the edge of the area.
303
00:15:53,607 --> 00:15:56,093
Rathbone's shot is blocked
and that's a corner.
304
00:15:56,231 --> 00:15:58,233
Whoa. This is the sort of start
you want.
305
00:15:58,371 --> 00:16:00,407
[chanting]
306
00:16:00,545 --> 00:16:05,585
[Griffiths] This feels frantic already.
Wrexham are pushing hard here.
307
00:16:05,723 --> 00:16:09,520
What a chance for McClean.
And what a save by Tyrer!
308
00:16:09,521 --> 00:16:14,179
It's been absolutely brilliant, apart
from getting that ball in the back of the net.
309
00:16:14,180 --> 00:16:17,907
It's Dobson to Rodriguez.
What a save again by Tyrer!
310
00:16:18,046 --> 00:16:19,668
Oh, my God!
311
00:16:19,806 --> 00:16:22,602
Wrexham on fire
but can't hit the net.
312
00:16:22,740 --> 00:16:24,604
How many chances
are we gonna get?
313
00:16:24,742 --> 00:16:27,917
Jay! Brilliant, son,
keep finding the pockets.
314
00:16:28,056 --> 00:16:32,957
There was a sense that everybody was
starting to tighten up and try too hard
315
00:16:33,095 --> 00:16:36,167
and second-guess themselves
and worry about everything.
316
00:16:36,305 --> 00:16:38,583
And we knew
that needed to change.
317
00:16:38,721 --> 00:16:44,624
Chance to hit it, and it's
just over from the man in That was close.
318
00:16:44,762 --> 00:16:49,387
I'm a little concerned about Blackpool.
They've managed to get back into the game.
319
00:16:49,525 --> 00:16:54,220
Still no score, and the referee
ends the first half.
320
00:16:54,358 --> 00:16:58,293
At Wycombe, they remain
2-nil down against Charlton.
321
00:16:58,294 --> 00:17:01,433
You two are gonna fight tooth and nail
to keep the ball at the top of the pitch.
322
00:17:01,434 --> 00:17:04,402
Jay, in the pocket.
Smithy, down the side.
323
00:17:04,403 --> 00:17:06,886
[Griffiths] Away we go,
as we get the game underway.
324
00:17:06,887 --> 00:17:09,545
But the big thing is,
is the physicality.
325
00:17:09,683 --> 00:17:14,447
Headers, tackles,
real fighting spirit at battles with the quality,
326
00:17:14,585 --> 00:17:16,395
'cause we're capable
of doing both.
327
00:17:16,396 --> 00:17:18,726
We've done it and we're gonna
go and do it again. Let's go.
328
00:17:18,727 --> 00:17:20,418
[players cheer]
329
00:17:20,556 --> 00:17:22,726
We just need that breakthrough,
don't we?
330
00:17:22,765 --> 00:17:24,457
Dobson sweeps it!
331
00:17:25,837 --> 00:17:27,080
McClean.
332
00:17:30,290 --> 00:17:32,982
Drills it in the goalmouth!
It's there!
333
00:17:33,121 --> 00:17:37,953
Wrexham get that goal!
McClean with a brilliant driven ball in.
334
00:17:38,091 --> 00:17:40,680
Wrexham take the lead.
335
00:17:41,853 --> 00:17:42,992
Yeah!
336
00:17:43,131 --> 00:17:45,616
Come on, Wrexham!
337
00:17:46,996 --> 00:17:50,486
[Roberts] That first-time ball
out wide is absolutely ridiculous,
338
00:17:50,586 --> 00:17:52,312
the bend that he gets on it.
339
00:17:52,450 --> 00:17:57,006
And then it's fizzed in
and wheels away. Wow!
340
00:17:57,145 --> 00:17:59,388
It is pandemonium
in that away end!
341
00:17:59,768 --> 00:18:05,429
[Griffiths] It certainly is.
Goodness me. This noise. Wow!
342
00:18:05,430 --> 00:18:09,811
Longman delivers into the box.
Back to goal, Rodriguez takes it well.
343
00:18:09,812 --> 00:18:12,815
Hits shot! It's 2-nil!
344
00:18:12,953 --> 00:18:15,473
Lovely take by Rodriguez!
345
00:18:15,611 --> 00:18:17,544
Yes! Yes!
346
00:18:17,682 --> 00:18:21,962
And it is Rathbone
who drills it home. Great finish by Rathbone.
347
00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:26,829
And Wrexham are on fire!
Unbelievable!
348
00:18:27,382 --> 00:18:31,558
[Roberts] It's definitely gone
up a few decibels as well. Wow.
349
00:18:31,972 --> 00:18:33,733
Wrexham!
350
00:18:33,871 --> 00:18:37,288
[Griffiths] And there is the final whistle.
What a performance!
351
00:18:37,426 --> 00:18:40,705
What an away day by Wrexham!
352
00:18:40,843 --> 00:18:43,363
A brilliant, brilliant effort.
353
00:18:43,501 --> 00:18:47,333
We most certainly took
the grip back
354
00:18:47,471 --> 00:18:50,232
- in this promotion battle
with Wycombe. - Come on!
355
00:18:50,370 --> 00:18:54,719
Wycombe lose 4-nil at home,
Wrexham win 2-1 at Blackpool,
356
00:18:54,857 --> 00:18:57,860
and fans are rewarded with
an unbelievable performance
357
00:18:57,998 --> 00:19:01,105
- from start to finish.
- Town are going up, ol๏ฟฝ, ol๏ฟฝ!
358
00:19:01,106 --> 00:19:03,865
It's never easy
following Wrexham.
359
00:19:03,866 --> 00:19:05,799
- Next Saturday we can relax.
- Yeah.
360
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,355
I think it'll be
the hardest match for us against Charlton.
361
00:19:10,356 --> 00:19:12,529
As the players leave the field,
all of a sudden
362
00:19:12,530 --> 00:19:15,706
everything's in our hands again
for automatic promotion.
363
00:19:15,844 --> 00:19:20,538
But, of course, we do have to be aware.
Wycombe are still chasing us,
364
00:19:20,676 --> 00:19:22,575
Charlton are coming up
on the rails.
365
00:19:22,713 --> 00:19:27,131
And any form of overconfidence
will soon be picked up on,
366
00:19:27,132 --> 00:19:30,513
and we'll be back
in the position again where it's not in our hands
367
00:19:30,514 --> 00:19:33,448
and lose
that automatic promotion place.
368
00:19:38,177 --> 00:19:40,455
- [Sarah] Hiya.
- Hi. You all right?
369
00:19:40,456 --> 00:19:42,041
- What's happening, child?
- Good.
370
00:19:42,042 --> 00:19:43,389
- How are we?
- Good.
371
00:19:43,527 --> 00:19:46,046
Archie's a lovely kid.
He's a Wrexham fan.
372
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:48,601
He's got a rare form
of blood cancer.
373
00:19:48,739 --> 00:19:50,258
- Yeah. Yeah.
- You okay? Yeah?
374
00:19:50,396 --> 00:19:53,261
Archie has recovered
from the last cycle of chemo,
375
00:19:53,399 --> 00:19:55,209
and this is
our first proper day out.
376
00:19:55,210 --> 00:19:57,264
- Is your pool any better?
- I bet I could beat you next time.
377
00:19:57,265 --> 00:19:58,955
- You think you can beat me
next time? - Yeah.
378
00:19:58,956 --> 00:20:02,235
[Sarah] We start bone marrow
transplant on Monday.
379
00:20:02,373 --> 00:20:04,651
So today was
very, very special for him.
380
00:20:04,652 --> 00:20:06,100
- Hello again.
- Hello again.
381
00:20:06,101 --> 00:20:08,241
- Hi. [chuckling]
- Hey, little man.
382
00:20:08,379 --> 00:20:11,417
- Go get special treatment now.
- What's up, man?
383
00:20:11,796 --> 00:20:13,142
- How are you?
- Good.
384
00:20:13,281 --> 00:20:15,455
It's so good
to finally meet you in person.
385
00:20:15,456 --> 00:20:18,319
[McElhenney] I met Archie
while I was on set, actually,
386
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,490
because I got a FaceTime
from Ollie Palmer.
387
00:20:20,491 --> 00:20:22,772
And I was in between takes,
and so I answered it.
388
00:20:22,773 --> 00:20:24,671
- Hey, Archie.
- [Sarah] Oh.
389
00:20:24,809 --> 00:20:26,259
- That's the best, huh?
- Wow.
390
00:20:26,260 --> 00:20:28,122
[McElhenney]
Then we just stayed in touch.
391
00:20:28,123 --> 00:20:30,953
And so I reached out to
Archie's parents.
392
00:20:30,954 --> 00:20:33,403
And I wanted to give him a tour
of the stadium
393
00:20:33,404 --> 00:20:35,199
and then bring him to a game.
394
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,236
You got all sorts of people
fighting through all sorts of adversity
395
00:20:38,237 --> 00:20:39,479
with a smile on your face
396
00:20:39,617 --> 00:20:42,033
and it's really inspiring
for me and for us.
397
00:20:42,034 --> 00:20:44,380
- [Archie] Yeah.
- So, you're somebody we look up to.
398
00:20:44,381 --> 00:20:45,415
For real.
399
00:20:45,416 --> 00:20:47,315
Archie was nervous.
400
00:20:47,316 --> 00:20:49,799
It's probably the most nervous
I've seen him actually in a long time.
401
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,766
[McElhenney]
Mr. Parkin, this is my friend Archie.
402
00:20:51,767 --> 00:20:53,285
[Parkin] Good to see you.
How are you?
403
00:20:53,286 --> 00:20:55,046
- Good. Yeah.
- Good.
404
00:20:55,047 --> 00:20:57,116
- He got to speak to
Steve Parkin. - Are you coming to the game
405
00:20:57,117 --> 00:20:58,326
- at the weekend?
- Yes.
406
00:20:58,327 --> 00:20:59,981
[Parkin] Good.
Expecting big things?
407
00:20:59,982 --> 00:21:01,552
- [Sarah] Massive.
- Hopefully.
408
00:21:01,915 --> 00:21:03,710
[Sarah] Massive.
409
00:21:03,711 --> 00:21:06,264
He was telling him
what he thinks Charlton might do on Saturday.
410
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:08,715
Right wing back
is very forward thinking.
411
00:21:08,716 --> 00:21:11,545
[Sarah] He got to stand
in the changing rooms with the lads.
412
00:21:11,546 --> 00:21:15,377
Ryan was there, Paul was there.
Palmer was there.
413
00:21:15,515 --> 00:21:18,045
He couldn't get out of bed
when you came, could he?
414
00:21:19,968 --> 00:21:21,521
Twice. Twice.
415
00:21:21,659 --> 00:21:23,247
[chuckling]
416
00:21:23,385 --> 00:21:27,251
To have a son at 12 years old,
be taken away from his friends,
417
00:21:27,389 --> 00:21:31,669
his normal way of life
is very difficult.
418
00:21:31,807 --> 00:21:32,857
You need to touch.
419
00:21:32,877 --> 00:21:34,317
[Archie] I can't reach it, so
420
00:21:34,327 --> 00:21:36,317
He just makes us so proud
because of how
421
00:21:38,918 --> 00:21:40,022
happy he is.
422
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:41,852
I got special permission.
423
00:21:41,853 --> 00:21:45,579
Everybody else, including your
parents, have to walk around the pitch,
424
00:21:45,580 --> 00:21:47,477
- but you and I
can walk straight across. - Wow.
425
00:21:47,478 --> 00:21:49,617
- You wanna walk
straight across? Yeah. - Really? Wow.
426
00:21:49,618 --> 00:21:51,861
[McElhenney] Okay, let's do it.
You and me, buddy.
427
00:21:51,862 --> 00:21:53,760
[Archie] Yeah. I'm taking some.
428
00:21:53,898 --> 00:21:55,210
- You can take some.
- Nice.
429
00:21:55,348 --> 00:21:56,901
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
430
00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:00,353
When I think about adversity,
his face pops into my head.
431
00:22:00,905 --> 00:22:02,355
Because it's all so trivial
432
00:22:02,356 --> 00:22:04,322
when you think that there's
this 12-year-old boy
433
00:22:04,323 --> 00:22:09,776
and his parents who have to
essentially live in a hospital
434
00:22:10,190 --> 00:22:11,433
for months on end
435
00:22:11,571 --> 00:22:15,368
so that he can beat
this fucking cancer.
436
00:22:15,748 --> 00:22:18,267
[Archie] On the TV,
it looks quite far away, but-
437
00:22:18,268 --> 00:22:20,510
[McElhenney] Okay, you ready?
Let me put this over here.
438
00:22:20,511 --> 00:22:21,685
Nice and easy.
439
00:22:22,548 --> 00:22:24,204
Yes.
440
00:22:24,205 --> 00:22:27,586
Talk about pressure, overcoming
adversity, overcoming the odds.
441
00:22:27,587 --> 00:22:33,213
It is insanely inspiring.
He's a beacon for the whole club.
442
00:22:33,662 --> 00:22:35,595
- I scored. I scored.
- You sure did.
443
00:22:35,733 --> 00:22:37,977
- You scored at the Racecourse.
- Yeah.
444
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:47,124
[announcer 3] Welcome to
Brisbane Road for Leyton Orient against Wycombe.
445
00:22:47,538 --> 00:22:52,578
And it's Wrexham or Wycombe for
the automatic promotion spot.
446
00:22:53,130 --> 00:22:56,961
Get ready for a day that could
change just about everything.
447
00:22:57,099 --> 00:23:01,103
Wycombe were going to be
playing before us at 12:30 on the day,
448
00:23:01,241 --> 00:23:03,485
and our game
kicking off at 5:30.
449
00:23:03,623 --> 00:23:06,246
If Wycombe beat Leyton Orient
and overtake us,
450
00:23:06,385 --> 00:23:09,974
Wrexham have to beat Charlton
today to retake second place
451
00:23:09,975 --> 00:23:12,148
and would still have to win
their final match
452
00:23:12,149 --> 00:23:14,600
to have a chance at
automatic promotion.
453
00:23:14,601 --> 00:23:17,325
I feel very nervous, like,
very, very nervous.
454
00:23:17,326 --> 00:23:19,436
- Yeah?
- Yeah, like adult diaper nervous.
455
00:23:19,777 --> 00:23:21,503
[Harvey] But if Wycombe lose,
456
00:23:21,641 --> 00:23:24,161
Wrexham would be promoted
with a win today.
457
00:23:24,162 --> 00:23:26,093
That was the moment
I think all of us,
458
00:23:26,094 --> 00:23:27,889
everybody,
the entire town went,
459
00:23:28,303 --> 00:23:30,029
"Holy shit, this could happen."
460
00:23:30,167 --> 00:23:34,482
We could not only be promoted,
but we could make history doing it.
461
00:23:34,620 --> 00:23:37,139
That was probably
the worst day for me,
462
00:23:37,277 --> 00:23:38,969
in terms of trying to overthink
463
00:23:38,970 --> 00:23:41,246
and then I got to a point
where there's nothing I can do.
464
00:23:41,247 --> 00:23:42,869
It was a very weird morning.
465
00:23:43,007 --> 00:23:44,319
Head it! Head it!
466
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,354
My brother and my dad
put the Wycombe game on.
467
00:23:46,355 --> 00:23:48,149
I was like, "Just get it off.
I don't want to know."
468
00:23:48,150 --> 00:23:50,260
I kept an eye on the scores,
I'll be honest.
469
00:23:50,325 --> 00:23:52,948
Left-foot shot. Turned in!
470
00:23:56,296 --> 00:23:59,990
That's right, ponytail! Yes!
471
00:24:03,165 --> 00:24:05,513
And that is the final whistle.
472
00:24:05,651 --> 00:24:08,239
Yeah!
473
00:24:10,276 --> 00:24:13,003
Give those boys
the night-night juice. Wow!
474
00:24:14,038 --> 00:24:17,145
By the time the game
is finished and Wycombe have got beaten,
475
00:24:17,283 --> 00:24:20,597
you could hear the roar
all the way around Wrexham.
476
00:24:21,529 --> 00:24:25,360
We need those three points.
We want that automatic promotion.
477
00:24:25,361 --> 00:24:27,844
We'll move forward
with Wrexham, and it's a bumper game.
478
00:24:27,845 --> 00:24:30,261
We have to go to the circus
and see what we can get.
479
00:24:33,506 --> 00:24:36,198
- Welcome to the circus,
Charlton. - Yes.
480
00:24:42,791 --> 00:24:44,344
Go on, the town!
481
00:24:44,966 --> 00:24:48,348
Biggest game
in football history.
482
00:24:53,561 --> 00:24:57,392
That obviously adds the pressure on
us because we need to win now to do it.
483
00:24:57,530 --> 00:24:59,428
Yeah, you feel
really big pressure.
484
00:24:59,567 --> 00:25:01,189
It's now ours to lose.
485
00:25:01,327 --> 00:25:03,363
Our route to glory is clear.
486
00:25:03,502 --> 00:25:05,434
If we're able to beat Charlton,
487
00:25:05,918 --> 00:25:09,108
we are going to achieve that
back-to-back-to-back promotion.
488
00:25:10,750 --> 00:25:13,220
- You guys wanna eat
your feelings? - [laughing]
489
00:25:13,339 --> 00:25:14,513
Wrexham!
490
00:25:16,411 --> 00:25:20,760
[McElhenney] Phil asked if I would
just give a little pep talk to the players
491
00:25:20,898 --> 00:25:26,179
who, um who just needed
to hear something fresh.
492
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:32,289
He's like, "Look, they're listening
to me and Steve Parkin, um,
493
00:25:32,427 --> 00:25:37,087
all year long, and I think they just
maybe need to hear a fresh perspective."
494
00:25:38,053 --> 00:25:41,781
I'm not assuming
that I have any right to talk
495
00:25:41,919 --> 00:25:45,716
to a group of young professional
athletes about what they do for a living.
496
00:25:46,130 --> 00:25:50,134
I reached out to a couple of
professional athlete friends of mine and said,
497
00:25:50,272 --> 00:25:56,416
"Hey, if you wanted to hear from
the chairman before a game like this,
498
00:25:56,417 --> 00:26:00,212
what would you what would you
wanna hear? What would you need need to hear?"
499
00:26:00,213 --> 00:26:01,663
And to protect his privacy,
500
00:26:01,664 --> 00:26:03,699
and everybody's privacy
who's a part of the story,
501
00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:05,450
we'll just bleep out
all the names.
502
00:26:05,771 --> 00:26:09,015
So, I reached out to [bleep],
he's a friend of mine
503
00:26:09,153 --> 00:26:12,223
and I'm like,
"If there's anybody in the arena, he's the one."
504
00:26:12,224 --> 00:26:15,503
I'm gonna read you
my text exchange because I felt like, "Okay."
505
00:26:15,504 --> 00:26:19,059
If you have access to one of the greatest
players of all time at something,
506
00:26:19,060 --> 00:26:20,630
you might as well
listen to him.
507
00:26:20,631 --> 00:26:22,925
So, "Rob, your guys
have far exceeded expectations.
508
00:26:22,926 --> 00:26:24,444
Now they just have to finish.
509
00:26:24,583 --> 00:26:27,053
Here is the secret:
I want you to tell them from me
510
00:26:27,171 --> 00:26:29,001
that they have to remember,
511
00:26:29,139 --> 00:26:33,626
even if they have to
force themselves, that this needs to be fun."
512
00:26:33,764 --> 00:26:34,964
This is an important one.
513
00:26:34,972 --> 00:26:36,842
He said,
"[bleep] told me something
514
00:26:36,843 --> 00:26:39,113
that [bleep] told him
before his first Masters."
515
00:26:39,114 --> 00:26:41,289
- [chuckles]
- [players chuckling]
516
00:26:42,014 --> 00:26:45,444
So now we're talking about
This is now [bleep] telling me something
517
00:26:45,500 --> 00:26:51,402
that [bleep] told him
that [bleep] told him before his first Masters.
518
00:26:52,611 --> 00:26:54,647
"You already did
the work of a man.
519
00:26:54,785 --> 00:26:57,305
Now go out there and play
like a little boy."
520
00:26:59,203 --> 00:27:01,067
I wrote, "Jesus Christ.
521
00:27:01,068 --> 00:27:04,276
That's one of the coolest texts
anyone's ever sent or received."
522
00:27:04,277 --> 00:27:06,624
He said, "The point is
that they need to go out there
523
00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:09,178
and play like they did
when they were ten years old,
524
00:27:09,179 --> 00:27:11,352
and that they were having
the time of their lives
525
00:27:11,353 --> 00:27:14,701
because I promise you
that's the only thing that they will remember."
526
00:27:14,702 --> 00:27:18,360
[players cheering, clamoring]
527
00:27:21,363 --> 00:27:24,677
That's it. Okay, boys,
just have a look here. Everyone ready.
528
00:27:25,333 --> 00:27:28,336
So, because I'm a woo-woo actor
and a golfer,
529
00:27:28,992 --> 00:27:30,862
I believe in
visualizing something.
530
00:27:30,863 --> 00:27:33,512
So I want everybody, please,
to just close your eyes right now.
531
00:27:33,513 --> 00:27:34,687
Everybody in the room.
532
00:27:35,067 --> 00:27:36,585
[players laughing]
533
00:27:36,724 --> 00:27:39,865
[McElhenney] I want you
to picture a time in your life.
534
00:27:39,866 --> 00:27:44,282
Maybe you're eight, maybe you're
nine, maybe you're ten, maybe you're six,
535
00:27:44,283 --> 00:27:45,387
maybe you're 12,
536
00:27:45,388 --> 00:27:48,079
but you're out there
and you're playing football.
537
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,599
You're just kicking the ball around.
You're playing with your friends, your dad
538
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,310
your mom, your sisters,
your brothers, your buddies.
539
00:27:54,707 --> 00:27:57,468
You're just playing football.
540
00:27:58,642 --> 00:28:00,713
[Smith's dad] Sam? Kick.
541
00:28:00,851 --> 00:28:02,197
Lewis, that's
542
00:28:02,335 --> 00:28:04,130
Get up. Nice. No.
543
00:28:04,544 --> 00:28:05,614
[laughs]
544
00:28:05,753 --> 00:28:08,134
Go on, Matt.
Go on, Matt. Go on.
545
00:28:09,377 --> 00:28:10,723
Well done, Matt!
546
00:28:10,861 --> 00:28:13,692
[? "Welcome to
the Black Parade" playing]
547
00:28:20,906 --> 00:28:25,289
And it's fun. And you
fell in love with that feeling.
548
00:28:25,427 --> 00:28:28,396
[? song continues]
549
00:28:36,404 --> 00:28:40,614
[McElhenney] At some point along the way,
the football world fell in love with you,
550
00:28:40,926 --> 00:28:43,307
but you owe
the football world nothing.
551
00:28:43,308 --> 00:28:46,585
Of course you're grateful for the
support that you've had along the way,
552
00:28:46,586 --> 00:28:51,074
your family, your friends,
and everyone, but you've already honored that.
553
00:28:51,591 --> 00:28:55,112
From this point on, you do not
owe anything to anyone,
554
00:28:55,250 --> 00:28:58,702
not to me, not to your parents,
not to the club.
555
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,049
I would even say,
not even to each other.
556
00:29:01,187 --> 00:29:05,467
From our point of view,
the door has been opened for us, innit?
557
00:29:05,605 --> 00:29:07,642
The door has been opened,
558
00:29:07,643 --> 00:29:10,126
and we're gonna fucking step through
it with a fucking proper performance.
559
00:29:10,127 --> 00:29:12,716
- Let's fucking go.
- Come on, boys. Let's fucking go.
560
00:29:12,854 --> 00:29:15,029
Let's fucking go, boys. Go.
Come on, come on.
561
00:29:15,030 --> 00:29:18,307
[McElhenney] From this point,
the only person you owe something to
562
00:29:18,308 --> 00:29:22,139
is that ten-year-old kid
who fell in love with football,
563
00:29:22,277 --> 00:29:29,112
who could not wait to be in the position
that you're in right fucking now!
564
00:29:29,250 --> 00:29:31,873
[fans cheering, chanting]
565
00:29:32,011 --> 00:29:36,360
[Griffiths] So, here we are.
As Wrexham face Charlton Athletic,
566
00:29:36,498 --> 00:29:38,949
we know
what we've got to do here.
567
00:29:39,087 --> 00:29:41,331
We win, we go up.
568
00:29:41,814 --> 00:29:44,944
[Roberts] This is special.
This is This feels different today.
569
00:29:44,945 --> 00:29:47,336
[Griffiths]
All right, deep breath.
570
00:29:47,337 --> 00:29:51,237
Fasten your seat belts
and let's go on a journey.
571
00:29:55,103 --> 00:29:56,967
Come on! Do it! Do it!
572
00:29:57,761 --> 00:30:01,489
Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!
573
00:30:01,627 --> 00:30:02,939
Come on!
574
00:30:13,514 --> 00:30:17,193
I picture Ryan Longman
doing his magic
575
00:30:17,194 --> 00:30:19,784
and, like, nutmegging
some kid at eight years old,
576
00:30:19,887 --> 00:30:22,597
and all the parents going,
"Who the hell is that kid?"
577
00:30:22,717 --> 00:30:26,376
[Griffiths] He's in the box.
Longman rips it across. Great ball in.
578
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:33,866
[McElhenney] I can imagine Ollie Rathbone
underestimated because of his size,
579
00:30:34,004 --> 00:30:37,594
cutting across some player
and ripping one into the back of the net.
580
00:30:37,732 --> 00:30:40,839
[Griffiths] Wrexham are going
to Rathbone who hits a shot.
581
00:30:44,221 --> 00:30:45,464
Yeah!
582
00:30:46,810 --> 00:30:47,949
Ollie Rathbone!
583
00:30:48,605 --> 00:30:51,780
[Griffiths]
Rathbone, drills it home!
584
00:30:51,919 --> 00:30:54,093
This guy is on fire.
585
00:30:54,231 --> 00:30:58,546
And he smashes it in,
and Wrexham take the lead.
586
00:30:58,684 --> 00:31:01,135
Wowee,
that was a hell of a hit!
587
00:31:01,687 --> 00:31:03,827
[chanting] Wrexham!
588
00:31:06,036 --> 00:31:10,627
[McElhenney] I want you to picture a
time when James, definitely at 11 years old,
589
00:31:10,765 --> 00:31:12,732
was f beating the shit
out of somebody.
590
00:31:13,906 --> 00:31:15,425
Great tackle by McClean.
591
00:31:18,704 --> 00:31:20,568
[McElhenney] Or Sam
592
00:31:20,706 --> 00:31:24,136
doing something that's,
I don't know, just physically impossible.
593
00:31:25,469 --> 00:31:27,575
Matty James
dinks it in for Smith.
594
00:31:27,713 --> 00:31:29,094
[Smith's dad] Kick it, Sam.
595
00:31:29,232 --> 00:31:30,440
[child Smith] Ball!
596
00:31:33,581 --> 00:31:35,514
[cheering]
597
00:31:40,415 --> 00:31:41,796
The fuck was that!
598
00:31:42,245 --> 00:31:46,387
[Griffiths] Sam Smith!
With a scissors kick!
599
00:31:46,939 --> 00:31:49,355
Oh, what a goal!
600
00:31:51,737 --> 00:31:54,533
James with
the most delicious assist.
601
00:31:54,947 --> 00:31:56,949
You look astonished, Mia!
602
00:31:56,950 --> 00:31:59,606
Oh, yeah. Harry is in front
of me, he's just gone absolutely mad!
603
00:31:59,607 --> 00:32:02,921
Can't believe
what he's just seen! What a goal! Sam Smith!
604
00:32:05,820 --> 00:32:07,442
Wrexham!
605
00:32:11,129 --> 00:32:14,310
- That's not selfish.
- Yeah, but
606
00:32:14,311 --> 00:32:16,001
[Reynolds]
I'd like a win for him.
607
00:32:16,002 --> 00:32:17,796
[Griffiths] And now
Steven Fletcher comes on.
608
00:32:17,797 --> 00:32:19,833
[McElhenney] The point is,
like, there is a moment
609
00:32:19,834 --> 00:32:22,964
or a series of moments
in which you were in love with this game,
610
00:32:23,010 --> 00:32:25,771
and that is all
that fucking matters.
611
00:32:26,151 --> 00:32:29,740
[Griffiths]
Fifteen minutes left. Cleworth goes outside.
612
00:32:30,672 --> 00:32:33,399
- This one's getting in.
- [Griffiths] Cross comes in
613
00:32:37,507 --> 00:32:40,061
Goal!
614
00:32:42,270 --> 00:32:44,203
Yeah!
615
00:32:44,997 --> 00:32:47,167
[McElhenney]
And that is why you're here,
616
00:32:47,517 --> 00:32:50,554
that moment, because that's
what you deserve.
617
00:32:50,692 --> 00:32:52,901
You didn't owe that to anybody.
618
00:32:53,316 --> 00:32:57,182
[Griffiths] Great header!
Brilliant cross! Cleworth, the wingback.
619
00:32:58,079 --> 00:33:02,014
And you know what? This is
starting to look quite good.
620
00:33:02,842 --> 00:33:04,879
Oh, my God. Are we gonna do it?
621
00:33:05,017 --> 00:33:07,364
Yeah!
We're gonna fucking do it!
622
00:33:08,987 --> 00:33:12,680
I would just end with this.
Forget the history.
623
00:33:13,508 --> 00:33:16,718
I want you to go out there and
play like you're ten years old
624
00:33:17,202 --> 00:33:20,895
and have the time of your lives
because I promise you
625
00:33:21,723 --> 00:33:24,761
that is the only thing
you will remember.
626
00:33:24,899 --> 00:33:26,556
Dad would have loved that.
627
00:33:26,694 --> 00:33:29,214
[whistle blows]
628
00:33:29,904 --> 00:33:34,978
- Told ya.
- [Griffiths] That's it! They've done it!
629
00:33:35,116 --> 00:33:37,429
We are the first team
in history
630
00:33:38,188 --> 00:33:43,469
to win back-to-back-to-back
promotions.
631
00:33:48,060 --> 00:33:50,373
It's believable, but barely.
632
00:33:55,327 --> 00:33:57,758
Back-to-back-to-back!
633
00:33:57,759 --> 00:34:00,245
History in front of our eyes!
634
00:34:31,069 --> 00:34:32,242
Holy shit.
635
00:34:33,243 --> 00:34:35,053
Like, what feels
better than that?
636
00:34:35,054 --> 00:34:37,798
[McElhenney] It looked like
you guys had a fucking blast.
637
00:34:37,799 --> 00:34:40,284
Like, what are all those idiots
doing with the cocaine?
638
00:34:40,285 --> 00:34:42,218
This is so much better.
639
00:34:44,772 --> 00:34:49,087
This team just written their names
into absolute history, haven't they?
640
00:34:49,225 --> 00:34:50,709
What about that then?
641
00:35:11,212 --> 00:35:15,527
What about that phrase
"To Wrexham it," is that a thing of the past now?
642
00:35:15,665 --> 00:35:17,287
Can we consign that to history?
643
00:35:17,288 --> 00:35:19,495
You'd hope so, wouldn't you?
You really would.
644
00:35:19,496 --> 00:35:22,672
I think doing a Wrexham
has changed its meaning now.
645
00:35:22,810 --> 00:35:27,470
Doing a Wrexham
is winning promotion back-to-back-to-back.
646
00:35:28,333 --> 00:35:29,644
It means everything.
647
00:35:29,782 --> 00:35:32,716
Wrexham are playing
Championship football.
648
00:35:32,854 --> 00:35:35,650
Wow, I cannot believe it.
649
00:35:36,375 --> 00:35:38,791
The sky is the limit.
The sky is the limit.
650
00:35:39,689 --> 00:35:42,623
What would it mean to get
the ultimate promotion?
651
00:35:43,210 --> 00:35:45,764
One more time.
You are in the Premier League.
652
00:35:47,386 --> 00:35:50,493
The Championship will suck
the positivity out of anybody.
653
00:35:50,631 --> 00:35:52,381
Four promotions,
is it possible,
654
00:35:52,391 --> 00:35:56,119
- or is the Championship
the toughest test- - No, no.
655
00:35:56,257 --> 00:36:00,606
Wrexham is definitely back
to being the underdog. This is going to be hard.
656
00:36:00,744 --> 00:36:02,194
It's a fairy story already.
657
00:36:02,195 --> 00:36:03,884
They don't want it to turn
into a nightmare.
658
00:36:03,885 --> 00:36:06,164
Why can't you just let me
I just want to bask.
659
00:36:06,302 --> 00:36:08,235
Would you let me just bask?
660
00:36:08,373 --> 00:36:11,307
We'll talk about
the Championship next year.
661
00:36:11,308 --> 00:36:14,412
You have to remember that
this is an incredible privilege
662
00:36:14,413 --> 00:36:18,590
that very few people in the history
of the world get to actually enjoy,
663
00:36:18,728 --> 00:36:20,799
and you have to enjoy it.
664
00:36:20,937 --> 00:36:25,942
There have been just as many tragedies
as there have been triumphs on the pitch.
665
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,790
But the truth is we just have
to love every moment of it.
666
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:31,119
What's most important to me
667
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,432
is to be grateful for
the moment that we have right in front of us.
668
00:36:34,433 --> 00:36:36,332
And I say this
with all honesty,
669
00:36:36,470 --> 00:36:41,199
I don't care about
the next promotion. I care about this one.
670
00:36:44,202 --> 00:36:48,654
A few years ago, we were not
in the English Football League.
671
00:36:48,792 --> 00:36:51,381
They asked us
what was our goal.
672
00:36:51,382 --> 00:36:53,417
We're gonna take Wrexham
to the Premier League.
673
00:36:53,418 --> 00:36:56,005
And I said,
"The Premier League," and people laughed.
674
00:36:56,006 --> 00:36:57,056
Why not dream big?
675
00:36:57,180 --> 00:36:59,355
No one's laughing anymore.
676
00:37:01,460 --> 00:37:04,739
[Reynolds]
A back-to-back-to-back promotion doesn't happen.
677
00:37:04,877 --> 00:37:07,432
But the only place
it could happen is here.
678
00:37:07,570 --> 00:37:12,920
Wrexham's the only place
that this kind of historical miracle could happen
679
00:37:13,058 --> 00:37:16,993
because of the town,
because of the club, because of its history,
680
00:37:17,131 --> 00:37:21,100
because of its sadness,
because of its joy,
681
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,206
because of its perseverance.
682
00:37:23,344 --> 00:37:29,143
And all of that comes together
to make miracles, and that is doing a Wrexham.
683
00:37:29,281 --> 00:37:33,354
[McElhenney]
And now we're one away from the Premier League.
684
00:37:33,492 --> 00:37:37,945
It doesn't make
any sense. It defies all rational thinking.
685
00:37:39,809 --> 00:37:43,659
But I haven't always done great
with rational thinking, if I'm being honest.
686
00:37:44,262 --> 00:37:47,955
Irrational thinking
has served us well.
687
00:37:51,096 --> 00:37:53,650
So that's three.
688
00:37:53,788 --> 00:37:55,411
[Reynolds] That is three.
689
00:37:55,412 --> 00:37:58,965
- [McElhenney]
Could go for four. - [chuckles]
690
00:37:58,966 --> 00:38:00,347
[Reynolds] Four?
691
00:38:00,348 --> 00:38:02,175
- [McElhenney] It'll be pricey.
- I feel,
692
00:38:02,176 --> 00:38:04,108
- next year's budget
in this thing. - Yeah,
693
00:38:04,109 --> 00:38:06,144
- that's what I was going for.
- That's what they fill it with,
694
00:38:06,145 --> 00:38:08,319
- don't they, right? Yeah.
- All right. No, I'll help you. Yeah.
695
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,011
- I'm actually going that way.
All right. - Yeah, I'm going this way.
696
00:38:11,012 --> 00:38:12,462
- Ah. Yeah.
- Yeah.
697
00:38:12,842 --> 00:38:15,534
You know what, I'll take it.
You're right, yeah?
698
00:38:15,535 --> 00:38:17,466
- No, you take it.
You should have it. - We should just-
699
00:38:17,467 --> 00:38:19,517
- Yeah, I should.
- I have enough trophies.
700
00:38:19,573 --> 00:38:23,266
It's just
You know, it's crazy, right? I just think yeah.
701
00:38:25,199 --> 00:38:27,857
- Let's leave it.
- Yeah, I think that's the spot.
702
00:38:27,995 --> 00:38:30,169
It looks nice.
703
00:38:30,219 --> 00:38:34,769
