ANNOUNCER: Yeah, brave goalkeeping from Arthur.

We saw the corner a minute before.

[echoing grunt]

KEVIN: Doesn't know where he is.

Dizzy, lightheaded, feels sick.

You're not going to be able to continue like that, are you?

No.

KEVIN: No, you got to start

thinking second concussion, yeah?

More likely from the impact.

[echoing thud]

KEVIN: How are we doing? ARTHUR: I'm good.

Still a lot of pain.

I don't know.

Think it doesn't feel quite right.

We've obviously done the X-ray,

which has showed the ramus fracture,

which is where you're feeling, you're feeling your pain

when you open and close your mouth.

ARUTHUR: I've had surgeries. I've had other injuries.

But I think this one was definitely

my most painful period just because of where

we are in the season.

After post-surgery, how long is it normally

before I get training again?

Yeah, based on this type of injury and experience

of dealing with before, we're probably looking

best-case scenario, we can run anywhere

sort of between two to six weeks.

But obviously, we're going to be aiming more towards

the two to three weeks to get you back.

ARTHUR: I couldn't chew, so a lot of my diet

involved soups and smoothies, yogurts.

I lost around over 4 kilograms.

Yeah, you're just in a bad place.

And then being on the sidelines and not watching the games,

not my best time.

We've had a lot of ins and outs with goalkeepers

over the last couple of years.

You had Rob Lainton starting out when we came in

and Christian Dibble as his very able backup,

Mark Howard bookending Ben Foster's epic run.

ANNOUNCER: Saved!

HUMPHREY: Foster's with us for just eight games

at the end of last season and five for the start of this one.

And now we've got Arthur Okonkwo,

who is currently injured and on loan.

When you sign a player on loan,

you're doing it because you've got a need.

And we could go out and buy an experienced player,

but sometimes you can bring a player in

who's on a journey in their own career

which probably goes past the level

and standard that you're at,

but needs to find somewhere to be able to prove themself.

In this case, Arthur has temporarily left Arsenal

and joined us here at Wrexham to get more playing time.

Now, here's the catch:

these loans occur during the normal transfer windows

during the summer and in January.

If Arsenal suddenly need Arthur back,

they can recall him for their squad

at any time during the January transfer window.

For instance, this season,

Newcastle loan midfielder Joe White to Crewe Alexandra.

He did quite well for them, and they'd have loved

to have kept him on to help them in their push

for promotion to League One.

But Newcastle recalled him back

in the January transfer window.

David Beckham had a hugely successful stint

for Preston North End before being recalled

after a month on loan earlier in his career.

ANNOUNCER: David Beckham's needed

little time to make his mark.

SHAUN: The better the player does

with their temporary team, the more likely it is

that they will be called back,

so it's not a permanent solution

and it's not without risk.

We are working with a Premier League-level keeper

who just happens to be young

and doesn't have a place on the Arsenal squad yet.

It would be as if it's 1985

and the Chicago Bulls draft Michael Jordan

and they're like,

"Well, you're, like, a 20-year-old kid."

And the Philadelphia 76ers are like,

"Hey, guess what, Chicago?

"We'll just take him off your hands

"for, like, two, three years

"and then we'll just build him up

"because he can start with us,

and then he can come back to you."

Then he comes to Philly and wins, like,

three championships, and you're like,

"Great, we're going to start a dynasty."

And then Chicago is like,

"Fuck off. We're taking him back."

That's exactly what it is.

It may sound weird to Americans,

but we've been doing this for a while.

[dramatic music]

PERSON: Yeah, Tim, that draw against Harrogate

was a bitter one as we were 2-0 up,

but results elsewhere went our way.

We're actually second as we take on Colchester at home.

ANNOUNCER: Hello, and welcome to the Racecourse.

Wrexham against Colchester United today.

Wrexham, one change. Mark Howard in goal.

MARK: It's not easy when you're a goalkeeper

coming on off the bench,

because it's different than an outfielder.

You can't run around and get yourself going.

ANNOUNCER: Spread out wide,

Fevrier again up against O'Connor.

Inches up to battle this.

MARK: You're straight back in to, like, take goal kicks,

come for crosses, make saves.

ANNOUNCER: Can he get the shot?

And he does!

Oh!

ANNOUNCER: Good save by Howard low to his left.

And there's a warning shot. They've been more than lively.

Attaboy, Mark!

If I'm called upon and if I'm needed, I'm ready.

And that's all you can ever try and do.

[energetic music]

ANNOUNCER: The long throw deep in the 6-yard box.

Helped on. Lee hits it.

It's blocked.

Lee again!

Wrexham score!

ROB: Yeah! Yeah!

ANNOUNCER: First shot's blocked.

It goes back out.

Right-footed finish from close range.

Happy birthday, Mr. Lee.

STEVE: Keep competing!

ANNOUNCER: Tozer nods it down, doesn't find Jay,

but he mis-controls it.

Now can Cannon, he's looked very impressive so far,

start something? [whistle blows]

Well, Evans is off here.

ANNOUNCER 2: Off. Yeah, he's off.

ANNOUNCER 1: It's a straight red as well.

Fucking hell!

HUMPHREY: So in football, the referee has really

one mechanism for disciplining players during games.

That is the yellow and red card system.

ANNOUNCER: Well-

ANNOUNCER 2: I think rightly so, to be honest.

Yeah, it looked like a red from where I'm sitting.

HUMPHREY: In this case, the dreaded red card

is used for more excessive infractions

resulting in the player's immediate dismissal...

ANNOUNCER: So Evans is sent off.

That changes the dynamic of the game massively.

[groans]

[echoing] Fuck!

HUMPHREY: Leaving the team down to ten men.

ANNOUNCER: Unfortunately for Wrexham,

it's going to be a hell of a tough game now.

PHIL: Keep scrapping for everything!

Come on!

ANNOUNCER: The cross is headed partly away.

Read heads it back in the goalmouth.

Mendy pokes it clear.

Greenidge now feeds into the edge of the D.

Chilvers, chance on his right foot,

hits it...

just wide.

I think Howard might have had it covered.

Mendy.

Jones making a typical charge around the outside.

Yeah!

ANNOUNCER: Wrexham happy to keep the ball

on the edge of the box here, Lee helps it on.

McClean finally gets the ball, sets himself.

[suspenseful music]

[crowd cheering] - Oh!

ANNOUNCER: Yeah, got that crucial, crucial second goal!

A huge day for McClean.

It's an own goal. It's a horrible own goal.

But I'll tell you what,

McClean put it into a dangerous area and forced it.

[all chanting]

ALL: Wrexham!

Whoo!

ANNOUNCER: Chance maybe for Read for 25 yards out.

To change the angle, helps it across, Iandolo.

But again, Wrexham shift across.

Cross comes down. It's a good ball.

Free header, great save by Howard.

Rebound is in!

And Colchester are given some hope.

What a wonderful save it was by Howard.

He was livid, and rightly. ANNOUNCER 2: Fantastic save.

Let's go, boys!

ANNOUNCER: Sends it in.

Boyle wins a good header. Iandolo, chance to hit this.

Does so, puts it over.

[dramatic music]

And Wrexham just need to see this out.

Howard hits it long.

Ref's not looking at his watch.

Palmer-

[whistle blows] And that is the final whistle.

And you hear that cheer.

There's relief mixed in with it.

We were down to ten men in the first half,

and we still managed to dig in.

ANNOUNCER 2: Howard played really well today as well.

Really solid.

RYAN: That's the 3 points. I like it.

All right, guys. That was fun.

[upbeat holiday music]

Have you got your season tickets on you,

if that's all right?

- Up the town. Thank you. - You're welcome.

Here we go, mate. Have a nice day.

- Thank you very much. - You're welcome.

Hello. My name is Peter Wynne.

I'm head of tickets at Wrexham Football Club.

So when I started, you know, you could turn up on the day,

cash in your hand, pay your ££15, ££20 on the gate.

And stadium was so big, you could sit where you wanted.

Over the past couple of years, that has changed phenomenally.

There was over 2,500 people waiting to buy tickets.

Just maths.

That level of demand, there's always people that miss out.

So the sooner we get that Kop built-[chuckles]

Hopefully some of those problems should ease.

[indistinct chatter]

WAYNE: It's heartbreaking when you're in the bar

and you see people that haven't got tickets

and they've traveled from Colorado or Las Vegas

and, you know, they're begging for tickets,

and there's none going.

PETER: The last thing you want to do is price fans out

or make it so the website doesn't work

for a certain person and they never get a chance

or whatever it might be.

So that's where the stress comes from

for me is that responsibility of you're looking after

people's memories or whatever it might be.

ROB: Hi. RYAN: Hi, guys.

We're here to talk about a possible new stand

because it doesn't look like

the Kop is going to be up anytime soon.

RYAN: No.

HUMPHREY: So previously on the Kop,

the Kop was the iconic stand at one end of the stadium.

And it has, sadly, sat a kind of derelict mass

of rusting metal for the last few years.

So we applied to the UK government for some money

to build a fancy new stand there.

It got denied, but we decided to demolish the stand anyway.

And then we applied for more money,

got that approved,

and then ran into any number of exciting regulatory issues

that we had to iron out

before we actually built the damn thing.

So what do you-so we have all sorts of printouts.

Well, so this map I've got,

this is currently the site plan.

And this is the site plan that encompasses

you know, what we're aiming to do with the Kop.

[laughter]

HUMPHREY: This section-

The Kop is very slow-moving.

It's hard to get everything approved

and kind of moving at the rate that we want to move.

And again, it's that bureaucracy,

you know, is very tough.

People who've seen season one and season two

know how much I personally enjoy British bureaucracy.

- Oh, it's your favorite color. - Yeah, it's my favorite.

I can't maintain an erection

unless I'm thinking about British bureaucracy.

- It's hot. - Yeah.

Even just thinking about it now, I have-

that's why my legs are crossed. - Oh, God.

Rob had proposed,

"What would happen if we put

"2,500 seats in that area

"right now that are just

temporary, that are just- we just put 'em."

And, you know, Shaun and several other people-

I love Shaun, because he's always looking out

for our best interests, was like-

Absolutely not.

It absolutely makes zero sense financially.

In order to practically build a set of temporary seats,

you would need to either acquire or license

this land from the university and the council.

We need to do some stuff to the ground

to make it safe for people to enter

into the back of this thing and may put them...

ROB: I don't know. We figure it out.

We also couldn't get Phil Parkinson.

He was never going to come.

Paul wasn't going to come.

Ben wasn't going to come.

No one goes to jail if those guys don't come to the club.

If this stand collapses and kills a bunch of people...

ROB: OK. - I go to jail.

OK, your first thought is, "Oh, my God, I'm going to jail

because this thing is going to collapse."

- My- - How would the world-

how has the world functioned to this point?

That-yeah.

RYAN: Oh, this is getting stupid.

First of all, you're dead right.

That's why we address the safety issue

and why we would do everything legally above board and-

[laughter]

HUMPHREY: My issue is genuinely not

that I think it's going to collapse,

because we wouldn't put it up unless it was safe, right?

- Correct. - We all know that.

The assumption is it would be-

My actual concern is that we do all of this,

we build this whole thing, we maybe get one,

two games with an extra 2,000 people in it,

and then we've got to take it down.

RYAN: It sure would be nice

to get a couple thousand more people in there.

That's the biggest complaint that I've been seeing

is people of the town saying,

"We can't get in to see the games 'cause the tickets."

Yeah.

And us losing a lot of money seems to be kind of the...

- I have no problem with that. - The whole thing.

That I'm all for.

How did that not go in? Goodness me.

That could've gone either way, that one.

Okonkwo, the masked avenger.

[dramatic music]

[fans chanting]

PHIL: It's there for us, isn't it?

The game is there for us.

The moments of quality, there might be five.

There might be five in the game

where we go bang, bang, bang, out the other side,

one v one, we get a goal.

But the rest of the game

is going to be scrap, scrap, scrap.

Stay calm.

This is the type of game it is,

and we're going to come out on top.

And when the moments of quality come,

they will come from fucking us.

Keep doing the defensive work,

keep doing the blocks, keep doing the crosses,

and it will fucking come.

OK. Come on, boys. Let's fucking go.

STEVE: Come on, lads! PHIL: Come on, boys.

ANNOUNCER 1: The crowd, wait for it,

is 12,095.

It's likely the biggest crowd since that Boston match

in 2007 at the Racecourse.

[rhythmic clapping]

ALL: Wrexham!

[dramatic music]

ANNOUNCER 1: Wrexham just need something to go our way.

As here come Wrexham. Ball into the box.

Dalby backing in, pinning his man.

Can he lay it off? Can he turn?

Hits it!

Oh, just wide!

SINGER: ♪ Want to take your shot ♪

ANNOUNCER 1: He's just behind McClean,

but he keeps it going.

Back to McClean again from Dalby.

This is good from Wrexham.

Lee driving through the middle,

hits the shot...

oh!

Hit the post, bounced back out, hit the keeper.

Go again! Come on!

Come on! Go, go! Come on!

Come on!

STEVE: Chipping away at the bastards.

SINGER: ♪ Ain't no glamour to it ♪

♪ Take a hammer to it ♪

♪ Knock down, get up, get back into it ♪

ANNOUNCER 1: McClean, what a tackle that was.

Pressure's building and building.

Tozer then with the long throw,

slings it into the 6-yard box.

Cleworth touches it on...

[all cheering]

Wrexham score!

James Jones smashes it home!

[upbeat music]

Get in! Come on!

[all cheering]

ANNOUNCER 1: James Jones again,

in front of a populated Kop, hits the net.

Wrexham-well, you got to say last five minutes,

it's been coming, hasn't it?

ANNOUNCER 2: Yeah, definitely it's been coming.

It's a great finish by James Jones.

He really got hold of that and made sure it went in.

JAMES: I didn't really think about it so much at the time.

I was just happy to score.

But you know,

it'll be a nice feeling

to look back on to know that I was the first one to score

in front of full stands again in, what is it, 18 years?

So yeah, it's a nice one to have in your back pocket.

ANNOUNCER 2: Are you listening to that?

That atmosphere is incredible!

ALL: Wrexham!

ANNOUNCER 1: James Jones, the heart's still pounding.

Gotta say.

Yeah!

ANNOUNCER 1: The final whistle.

Wrexham win, 2-0.

ANNOUNCER 3: It's one of those games where it's not all about

whether we get the win or not,

but I'll take 2-0 today, any time.

ANNOUNCER 1: It was a proper derby.

JOURNALIST: Today, a record attendance broken

inside the SToK Cae Ras, four sides to it.

And 2 goals in front of the Kop must have been great to see.

Yeah, you know, said to the lads at halftime,

you know, kick into that end with the supporters in,

you know, let's really kind of take the game to Newport,

lock attacks in, kind of put them under

sustained periods of pressure.

And all in all, I thought the lads

have stuck to the job in hand today

and got another very important 3 points for us.

[upbeat rock music]

ANNOUNCER 1: The players know it.

The first time Wrexham played in 25 years clamped at home.

ANNOUNCER 2: Wow.

That crowd today was definitely the 12th man.

Definitely put us over the line.

ALL: Wrexham! Wrexham! Wrexham!

[lawnmowers whirring]

HUMPHREY: So a very good weekend for us, really.

You know, yielded 3 points. That's what we're after.

But elsewhere around the league,

across the country to the east,

our old friends and foes, Notts County,

finding it a bit more difficult.

ANNOUNCER: A previous spot kick.

It's Jennings down the middle. Tranmere 4, Notts County 2.

HUMPHREY: When last we met Notts County,

they were second in the league and flying, frankly.

But since then,

things have been a little tougher for them.

League Two is a very competitive league.

It's a league where anyone can beat anyone on their day.

ANNOUNCER: Notts County, they lose serious ground

on the top three, they're seven adrift now.

Think the team's a bit wounded in terms of...

having winning as a habit.

When you lose that habit for a bit, it hurts.

ANNOUNCER: Bigger news has followed since that last game,

as Luke Williams has departed to jump two leagues

to go to Swansea City of the Championship.

HUMPHREY: Not only are they struggling

to find their footing in League Two,

but they have lost their very successful manager,

Luke Williams, to Swansea.

The end of the Luke Williams era

at Notts County Football Club.

The reign is over.

Given, certainly, many young Notts fans

the best days of their life as Notts County supporters.

Was at Notts for 18 months,

and I've returned to Swansea as head coach.

That's my beloved Notts.

And, you know,

it's always going to be a special football club to me.

[bittersweet ambient music]

It's indescribable.

It's impossible for us to ever be, really, separated,

even if we're no longer day in, day out together.

I will, you know, cherish the memories of

working with them

and the things that we've done together.

ANNOUNCER: A shot at redemption.

Scott...

sends Notts County back to the Football League!

The game never stands still, and nothing is ever permanent.

And this game is precarious at the best of times.

So I've made a decision,

and it's extremely difficult.

♪ ♪

Notts have struggled and stuttered in recent months.

[crowd cheering]

ANNOUNCER: They're going to lose out again.

A leaky defense is at it again.

CEDWYN: If you look in isolation

at four or five games,

like, use the form under the current manager

when he came in, the results weren't as we would have liked

and as he would have liked, I'm sure.

ANNOUNCER: It's another away loss for County.

STAL: You know, you just need to look at the league table.

We're in a hole trying to climb out of it,

I think, is what I would say.

We've slumped massively, as everybody knows.

ANNOUNCER: What a brilliant finish from Cedwyn Scott!

ANNOUNCER: When it's not going your way,

it's just not going your way.

STUART: It's really frustrating because

it's another team that's come to Meadow Lane

and have not had to do a lot to really beat us.

And that's the frustration.

Since we've been in charge as a management team,

we've found that big moments within games

kind of haven't gone our way.

We've had a lot of niggles and injuries.

It's kind of been out of our hands

to a degree at certain stages since we've come in.

ANNOUNCER: To Robertson.

Back to his goalkeeper- oh, it's come off the post.

Could be a simple tap-in,

and it is.

They don't come much easier than a tap-in like this.

JOHN: We had really high hopes for this season,

but it just shows the highs and lows of football

and how quickly it can turn around.

It sounds cliche,

but we'll take each game as it comes.

The game must go on.

HUMPHREY: Football is temporary.

One week, you're in great form.

The next, you're in the doldrums.

So the new Goliath in this league for us

is Stockport County, and those of you with a long memory

will remember they're actually a bit of an old Goliath for us

because they are the team that pipped us to the title

in the 2021-22 season.

ANNOUNCER: It's Wrexham's season is over.

HUMPHREY: Old foes resurface.

ANNOUNCER: County are back,

and the dream has finally come true!

HUMPHREY: So now both teams are fighting

for a top spot in the EFL

and it's turning into a bit of a doozy of a battle.

ANNOUNCER: Olaofe one on one and scores a magnificent goal!

[tense music]

HUMPHREY: We went to Edgeley Park

early in the season and were well beaten by them.

ANNOUNCER: Olaofe with a header!

Olaofe scores the hat trick.

We did not see this coming.

Let's be frank. ANNOUNCER 2: Nope, not at all.

ANNOUNCER 1: 5-0 to Stockport, wow.

HUMPHREY: Ever since that,

Stockport County have been on a bit of a tear.

ANNOUNCER: Oh, and he scores.

Sends the keeper the wrong way.

It's 7 goals in seven games for Louie Barry.

ANNOUNCER 2: It's Bailey who goes for goal!

It's a stunner!

And the winning run is set to continue.

ANNOUNCER 3: There it is. County have got the 3 points.

Nine wins in a row. County stay top of the table.

Olaofe checks one way, then the other,

on his left foot, and he's made it 2-0!

County have got the 3 points tonight!

And it's Dave's dozen.

12 in a row for Stockport County.

RYAN: So we have a very important event approaching.

Arthur Massey, who is believed to be our oldest fan,

is turning 100.

We have a special surprise

where we will invite Arthur onto the pitch,

we'll present him with a jersey,

and more importantly,

he will receive a standing ovation

from our home crowd for a full 100 seconds.

And because of our busy schedules,

we're sending Rob a few weeks early

to give our thanks to Arthur.

It's a nice neighborhood.

RYAN: And hopefully, he doesn't blow the secret.

Hello, my darling, how are you?

ROB: It's so good to see you. - Lovely to see you.

MARGARET: Nice to meet you too. - Lovely to meet you.

Thank you for having us at your home.

Thank you. [laughter]

How are you? ARTHUR: Oh, yeah.

ROB: Oh, how you doing?

ARTHUR: Nice to see you. - It's so nice to see you.

Nice to see you.

I wanted to make sure I came by and said hello

and thank you.

And happy birthday.

Happy birthday. ARTHUR: Thank you.

JULIE: That's very kind. Thank you.

ARTHUR: You did brilliant. ROB: Thank you.

And so did you. You lived almost 100 years.

JULIE: I know.

ROB: I'd say you're doing something right.

Whatever you're doing, I want to do more of.

JACQUI: It's the brandy. JULIE: It's the brandy.

The brandy. JACQUI: Brandy.

Oh, let's have a brandy.

ROB: How long have you lived in this house?

ARTHUR: 197-

JACQUI: 4. - '74, yeah.

Wow. I live very much-

I lived in a house like this. This is how I grew up, in a-

JULIE: I saw it on the documentary.

ROB: Yeah. Yes.

JULIE: You showed your son round.

ROB: We shared a bathroom. JULIE: Yes!

ROB: There was five of us. JULIE: Yeah, that's right.

And, you know, as you get older,

the house looks so much smaller.

But I remember it being so large.

JULIE: Yes, yeah.

ROB: And it was hard to go back.

It wasn't in good shape. JULIE: No.

The person that was living there was not in good shape.

And he felt a little bit embarrassed.

And, you know, the truth is that we-[chuckles]

I get a little emotional thinking about it because we-

I just remember love in the house.

JULIE: Yeah.

That's all I remember is just being-

JULIE: That's all that's important.

Yeah, yeah.

JACQUI: Yeah.

[soft dramatic music]

Dad's seen lots of changes.

I think what those eyes have seen over a hundred years.

ROB: Mm-hmm. Must be a very difficult part

of living 100 years

is having to say goodbye to so many people.

Yeah. That's life. ROB: Yeah.

You have to accept what it is.

Yeah.

Not what you want it to be.

You know what you want it to be,

but it never is like that, is it?
