We started off well
this season.

We've only lost--
is it two games away,

Chesterfield and Notts County?

We are contenders for
automatic promotion.

But Notts County will have
something to say to that.

I mean, you can't be
calling it just yet, can you?

It's a way to go, a lot
of points to play for.

Well, February is a massive,
massive month for us,

absolutely enormous.

And unfortunately, we've got
ourselves into a situation.

Overnight, we've had
temperatures of minus 8, 9.

Pitch has failed
a pitch inspection,

so we've lost
the game tomorrow.

To pay tribute
to the late Queen,

there will be no football
matches this weekend.

We had a pretty damn
great run in the FA Cup.

But, um,

we had to postpone
league matches every time

that we advanced in the cup.

This month is where
that cup success

really, really bites us
in the ass.

At such a busy time, as well,
we've got games back to back

- now over the next few weeks--
- Yeah.

Tuesday, Saturday,
Tuesday, Saturday.

Yeah.

It couldn't be a worse time.

And that's when injuries
creep in,

when they're playing so many
games close together.

It puts terrific strains
on players

to keep going week in,
week out.

It's difficult to be able
to give players the breather

that they want.

Jordan, you know,
Jordan being out.

Oh, yeah.

Well, at least
we've had people

to come in and take his place.

Each game kind of
rolls into the next one.

And you've got to be
relentless if you're going

to get to where we want to be.

There is no time to have a
break, mentally or physically.

That comes at the
end of the season

when we have
a couple of months off.

It's about mentally
being ready.

So fingers crossed
everyone stays safe

for the next few weeks.

Yeah.

you came from ♪

afraid to cry now ♪

- Hi.
- Good morning.

- Great haircut.
- Oh, thanks.

Yeah.

Let's hope Phil will be in
his office when we get there.

There he is.

Oh, yeah,
nice to meet you.

How are you?
Pleasure.

Yeah, that was another
kind of surreal day, really,

when Will Ferrell
came in me office.

And we had a chat.

You should be able to handle
them today, I think. Yeah.

We know what we've got to do. Right.

We know what we--
- Sorry, gaffer.

Oy.
- I just brought my son in.

Let's get a picture with
Will Ferrell and you, mate.

Is that all right?

Let me take it
of all you guys.

There we go.

Oh, you're going
to love this one.

Let me get one more.

You doing selfies?

He's doing selfies on my phone.

Say 1, 2, 3, cheese.

Cheese.

Oh, Brilliant.

Will Ferrell is an
absolute superstar.

But you know, he walks
around in the dressing room,

talks to each of the players,
got them completely at ease.

- Sam.
- Nice to meet you, Sam.

- How are you?
- Hey.

Hey, Anthony.
Yeah, pleasure.

- You guys are famous.
- Yeah.

I just started laughing.

Like I just
couldn't believe it.

He was like, oh,
you guys are famous now.

I was thinking, no,
we're not, Will.

You're the famous guy.

Do you guys like Ryan
and Rob, or not really?

You can be honest.

It's all right.

Rob is good.

Ryan--dodgy Canadian, yeah.

It's just quite surreal
in the best possible way.

It's a bit of a circus.

You never know what's
going to turn up next.

Oh, look at that.

That is a beefy thigh there.

Yeah.

Get in there.

That's like a ham hock.

Now, is that
relaxing or painful?

- A bit of both.
- Or both, yeah.

OK.

You need a rub down?

- Come on.
- You sure?

- You sure?
- Come on. Throw it out.

Throw it out.

These hands.

These are magic hands.

I like the joking about.

And--but then when it's time
to get my head down and focus,

we're all focused.

Welcome to
the Racecourse Ground

for this afternoon's Vanarama
National League clash

between Wrexham
and Wealdstone.

With the free kick out on the
left-hand side, Elliot Lee.

Against the crossings there,
and Mullin's there.

And it's in for Wrexham,
Paul Mullin.

Kick it!

Wealdstone just
switched off from the set piece,

a great cross from Lee.

I was literally
texting Ryan--

At the same time.
- As they scored.

Strong tackle

on James Jones.

We've got an injury.

We've got a fucking injury. Yeah.

down
on the far side as well.

Oh, fuck, Tommy's
feeling his hamstring.

Oh, fuck.
Where's Matt?

Hell, man.

Yeah, we need another
physio on the pitch.

On your go.

A couple
of questions to think about

for Phil Parkinson.

All I was thinking was,
who are we going to get in

to replace those two players?

Tommy, are you
all right or not?

What have you done?
What have you done?

So yeah, it was a setback
in the game,

but whew,
did we respond.

James Jones,
can it be three?

Save, Dalby.

Yes!

Phil Parkinson
said many times

how important using
this squad will be

during this busy month.

And two of the substitutes

have got on the score sheet today.

And that is the final action
at the Racecourse Ground.

This is the
hardest step to get

out of the National League.

This is the steepest
hill to climb.

Yeah, you can just feel
now there's stakes here.

You know, injuries in those
games or increasing the volume

of games and fatigue
can be damaging

and potentially
game-changing for us.

There's no medals
ever being given out

with eight games to go.

It'll only really be worthwhile

if we get over the line
at the end of the season.

OK, so today, I am
getting someone's garden

ready for the summer,
oiling all the furniture up

and just getting it ready
so it protects it from the sun,

and it brings out the grain
a little bit more.

You know?

I still hate painting,
but it's my trade,

and it allows me to earn money

for me and the boys,
doesn't it?

Dad's got to pick up a
paintbrush, go to work,

and earn that money.

So that's why.

I don't think anyone
really likes their job,

unless you're Ryan or Rob
or--because, you know,

you'd love that.

Or footballer or--
but most people,

tradesmen, we don't
really like our jobs.

And anyone who does say
they like their job,

well, let me tell you they're
lying, because they don't.

I'm a lot more recognized now.

I get a lot more love.

I certainly get a lot more hate,
people digging at me.

But what you saw in the
last series was the real me.

It was just ultra Shaun.
That's me.

I wasn't pretending to
be anything I'm not.

I was just me.

So if you think you've seen
the good, the bad.

I think you've seen all
five sides of Shaun.

But, um, I love it.

Can I get a photo of you--

You certainly can, mate.
- For me mother-in-law?

You know, I love
interacting with people,

and I love talking
to people anyway.

She said you're better
looking in real life

- than on the program.
- Hey, I wish my ex said that.

I did.
I said that.

Aw, thank you very much.

So obviously, I opened up
about my life.

How I was feeling then,
which was dark.

Some things I'm not proud of.

Did you find Spencer was
a little bit of a weasel?

I did not.

No, I found him to be really--
a lot of integrity.

When you wake up,
are you in a full sprint?

Or are you still lying in bed?

Sometimes the idiot inside me
can take over a bit too much.

But the only way
I can let that idiot out

is by getting one too
many drinks down me.

So I'm trying never
to let him out again.

I'm just going to really
get after this now.

And I'm hoping never
to drink again.

- Good on you, fella.
- Yeah.

- Cheers, mate.
- Woohoo.

Appreciate it.

- Cheers.
- Come on, Wrexham.

Yay!

As ever, a fantastic

crowd here at the Racecourse.

Well, I think
they're going to actually

try and keep the singing
going for the whole game

tonight is what they're trying
to do, the fans tonight.

Yes?

Frankly, they need it because,
well, this is February.

Yeah.

And it's Saturday,
Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday,

Saturday, Tuesday constantly.

I think that any little lift
they can give the team

is fantastic.

It certainly looks like,
to win the league this year,

you're going to have to get
well in excess of 100 points.

Because it's a two-horse race.

Both Notts County and
Wrexham are phenomenal,

just keep winning
hand over fist.

But again, there's just
that remarkable tense sense

that we can't afford
to make any slips at all.

It's this wonderful
who blinks first,

spaghetti western scenario,
ain't it?

Sweeps it
into the near post.

Had to go across the face.
And drill it in!

And Woking take the lead
in the seventh minute.

Fucking hell.

What a fucking start
that is, by the way.

Forde steps
up and drills it.

Yeah!

Brilliant goal
by Anthony Forde!

Mullin takes a deep breath
on the edge of the area.

Steps up, right-footed.

Scores!

Right in the goal corner.

And Wrexham have
taken the lead.

This is such a test.

For now, the penalty,
which Brown will take.

He stutters.

Steps up.

And scores.

And Woking pull themselves
back into this game.

They've done
a number on us here.

It's so alien now--
it's amazing to say that--

to see us looking
second-best against anybody.

And that's the final whistle.

We dropped points
for the first time

at the Racecourse this season.

Because of this
kind of death struggle

we're locked in
with Notts County,

draws right now feel
sort of closer to defeat.

Yeah, we're disappointed
with the way we played.

We didn't play as well as we
can, in terms of on the ball.

It became just a scrappy
kind of game,

which obviously Woking
are very good at that.

We looked unbalanced tonight.

From set
pieces, though,

we've got a
plethora of options.

And tonight, we saw another
one in Anthony Forde

with a brilliant free kick
to get us back on levels.

Yeah, a great free kick
from Forde, pleased for him,

stuck it in the top corner,
gave us a great lift

going into halftime.

But we never really got
to grips with the way

they played tonight.

Gonna look at that and
make sure that, on Saturday,

you know, we're better.

I have to do
an Irish brunch.

The UK do rashers OK.

But yeah, definitely the
pudding, the good stuff.

I'm from a
place called Ballingarry

in County Limerick in Ireland.

I ended up signing
for Wolves

when I was 15,
moved across to England.

The night we met,
one of his friends was like,

oh, he plays for Wolves.

And I was like, what are they?

Yeah, so Laura
has been, I suppose,

with me through the journey.

We got together when I was 18
when I went back home

for a summer on a night out.

And I keep telling her that she
couldn't take her eyes off me

when I met her,
but it was probably

the other way around,
if I'm being honest.

But, yeah,
we've been together since.

And it's been amazing.

Safe to say I've got to know
a lot about football.

It's our life,
I guess, you know?

So when you have good days,
I have good days.

When you have bad days.
I have bad days.

But thankfully,
it's been really good

while we've been here
at Wrexham.

Everything about here
has been better.

It's not just playing, everything.

Yeah,
it's a real team here.

And everyone has the same goal
and wants to get promoted.

But yeah, we love it up here.

She's been
an absolute rock.

I've been lucky to
have her by my side.

Oh, you're tired
after sleeping

for an hour and a half.

Oh.

Now, we've got little
Patty here with us as well.

It brings you
even closer together.

Hi, baby.

We're obsessed with him.

That's not a smile, Patty.

I think it was two weeks
after Patty was born,

my brother rang me.

And he said that
he'd been to hospital

and he'd got leukemia.

So that was
a massive shock to us.

Then a few weeks later,
Laura had an MRI,

and she had a brain tumor.

I knew
something wasn't right.

And I persisted with the
doctors and got my MRI done.

And yeah, now we're here.

It just didn't
feel like it was--

it was real.

So yeah,
one of the side effects,

my left arm isn't
working so well.

So things like cutting,
the simple task,

isn't as easy as normal.

It was obviously the worst day
of my life and her life.

And football has been
a massive part of our lives.

But when something
like this happens,

it goes out the window.

And there's a lot
more important

things in life, of course.

Football is our life.

And I had--in my head,

I was kind of thinking
it would be a good distraction.

But some of our
friends in football

kind of took me aside
and were like, Laura,

if ever there's a time,
it's now,

to step away just for a
few weeks and just

deal with and process
what's happening

to both his brother and to me.

How can I go out
and try and perform

when I've got
something so serious

in the back of my head?

It's unfair on myself
and the team, like--

The support we've had from the
club have just been amazing.

And we don't know
the full results of things

at the moment.

So that's still
a case of waiting.

Well, yeah, it's made me
appreciate you a lot,

in terms of, like,
you're a really good dad.

And no matter what happens,
I know Patty's...

Really lucky to have you.

You're making us
all cry now.

Sorry, everybody.

Come on!

Come on, mate,
come on, mate.

Charlie, down the line!

Charles!

Brilliant that, mate,
really, really good.

When my lad Charlie's playing,
I don't miss a game.

Do you know what I mean?
I don't--I don't miss a game.

I make sure
I'm always here for him.

And it's great 'cause
I used to play.

And it just reminds me--
it's like, you know,

I live my life
through his eyes now.

So, you know,, it's great.

Well done, Charlie lad.

Brilliant, son.

Right on cue that one, innit?

I went to watch
Charlie play football.

And it was a sunny day.

And straight away, I was
thinking, oh, my God, this--

I would kill for
a Wrexham lager.

Oh, my God.
And I was like--

and I--all day, I was fighting
like you wouldn't believe.

Because I was mentally drained
because I'd been just--

it was been torture all day,

fighting back and to,
back and to.

Come on, mate.
Come on, mate.

I almost went, man.
I was like, don't mate.

You're not doing this.

Nice, Charlie.
Brilliant, lad.

I started shaking.

I was like,
I can't handle it, man.

And like it's
happening a bit now.

And I remember just coming
home and trying to put

my head through the telly.

Bad.

Come on, son.

Oh, get it there, lad!

But I did it, and I was
super proud of myself.

But God, it's not easy, man.

It's not easy.

Put it there.

Yes.
Brilliant.

Well done, yeah?

Great tackling, getting
the ball, loved it.

Let's do your lace. Come here.

But I'm working on myself.

I go to therapy sessions.

I go to different
people because

I just want to better myself.

I want to better
myself for my boys.

And I don't think many people
can put their hand on heart

and say they do as much
to change their life

as what I'm willing to do.

Are we getting
in the fun bus?

Fun bus, love.

Come on, kiddo.

About to
get things underway

at the recreation ground.

Young steps up.

Swings it under
the bar for Dalby.

Yeah!

Yes!

Wrexham did it
right in the dash!

We have made changes today,
and interesting ones.

The first one,
Rob Lainton back in goal,

first league match since he
broke his wrist at Bromley.

It's almost like
each game

kind of rolls into the next one.

And Hosannah
has gone down.

Too often,
we are being forced to use up

substitutions for injuries.

Space to drive into.

Gets the crossway.

Looking for Mullin.

Gets in touch.

And the penalty's for Wrexham.
And he does.

Davis lines one up.

Spill by Foster.

Miller strikes it.

But like every game,
it is hard.

You've got to earn it.

And we had to dig
deep as a team.

And it's just about keeping
those wins coming in.

And we've done that tonight.

To our innocent American
or North American eyes,

football may look like
a dainty ballet with a ball.

But it's a contact sport.

It can be incredibly
brutal at times.

It's super hard on the body.

And we've had some really bad
injuries this season so far.

I just wish
Notts County would have

some of the bad luck
we've been having, isn't it?

I don't think
they've had any injuries,

- have they, and we've--
- No, nothing, nothing--

There's been bottlenecks
this season where

we've been playing
two games a week.

Another game is next Tuesday,

as well, against Chesterfield.

Whew.
Ooh.

That was fouled.
Ref doesn't give it.

It looked like a
poor challenge.

We've been dealing with
illnesses and injuries

and really reacting
and adapting to that.

Mullin finds him.
Lee hits it.

Oh, what a goal!

Yes!

That was
a lovely goal, wasn't it?

We just have to consistently
worry about ourselves

and do what we're doing
best on the field,

and not look over our
shoulder over at Notts.

Into Elliot Lee,
plays it to Mullin Lee

creating more space
if he can find him.

Elliot Lee with a shot!

And Wrexham take the lead!

You have to grind
every game.

You factor in how your body
feels and your tiredness

and fatigue, then you have
all the pressure of the game--

it's not easy.

And a brilliant
roll, gets a shot away.

And he's in again.

And there is no stopping
Sam Dalby at the moment.

Victory at the Racecourse
Ground for Wrexham.

That win means that Wrexham--

Go top of the Vanarama
National League.

Go!

You know,
it's a 46-game season.

And that makes it unpredictable.

You know, there will be
problems and challenges.

Our best chance of success
is by depending on somebody

who would provide experience,

and a player who's calm
and relaxed everybody.

And that is Luke Young.

I'm Luke Young.
I play midfield.

I'm the team captain,

which was a massive,
obviously, honor for myself.

Young, he's a, um...

a quiet guy, but does
his talking on the pitch.

Oh, what a ball, son.

Brilliant.

What a fucking ball that is.

Other side, Elliot Lee.

Youngie, what a ball, son.

I admire Youngie because
he comes in, does his work.

He works so hard.

But I've certainly been
at the wrong end of the table.

I never take
anything for granted.

I never took anything
for granted growing up.

And there's people
out there that

will give their left arm to
be in the position that I am.

So I'm still grateful for it,
and I'm still

working harder,
if not as hard,

to carry on that journey
as a footballer.

He probably goes under
the radar a little bit.

But he just consistently
gives everything

for the football club.

He's a--he's a
fantastic captain.

He's got plenty of assists

this season from corner kicks.

He'll do whatever
it takes

to be victorious
on the day.

And that breathes through
the squad, you know?

That's what captains do.

They lead by example.
And Youngie, he epitomizes that.

Young, early ball.
That's right, good idea.

Mullin, right side
of the box,

cutting inside,
running at his man.

It's a left-footed shot!

Luke Young
is the unsung hero

of this entire organization.

Luke's position
in midfield is just

one of those workmanlike gigs
that you just--isn't flashy.

You just don't hear
his name that often.

But he's controlling the game.

Quick free
kick taken, Luke Young.

Absolute thunderbolt!

How much of
a workhorse is Luke Young?

Well, using this gorgeous
HP laptop and information

from our friends
at STATSports,

we've broken down
Luke Young's performance

using the GPS tracker that
he wears during the game.

Those are those sports
bra-looking things

the guys wear.

They're also, of course,
for support.

They're very supportive.

Luke Young runs
an average of 8.2 miles

a match while running
145 yards per minute.

His average heart rate

is 175 beats per minute,
which is insane.

And his dynamic
stress load is 897.

What is
dynamic stress load, Rob?

Yeah, no idea,

but I mean, that just sounds
super intense.

And I got to believe
897 is super high.

So I have just started
coaching Lenny's team.

And I love it.

It's something I've always
wanted to do, mate, always.

Whoa!

Come here.

Laces.

How many goals are you
going to score tonight?

I wanted to do it
for Charlie's team,

but I wasn't in the
right place to do it.

I couldn't commit to it.

Now I'm at a stage of my life,
and, listen, let's commit.

It doesn't matter how
many touches you take.

I just want you getting used
to the ball at your feet.

Even when it's running fast,
yeah, the ball's always here,

always glued to your foot.

Yellow!

His mind seems to
be in the right place now.

He's focused.

Driven is probably
the better word for it.

Mate, did you see
that tackle you made?

I think you took--
that was awesome.

Obviously,
getting away from the drinking

and everything that
was wrong in his life,

because, obviously,
it can take over your life.

And it was with him.

Obviously, he had
a hard time last year.

Obviously, he loves his kids
and to play football with them.

Let's go on, buddy.

You were absolutely fantastic
last time, you know?

Yeah, he's jumped at it
and took it onboard.

And he's changed dram--

drastically, I'd say.

So if you watched
football on Saturday,

did you see the whole Wrexham
team going towards the ball?

No.

No, you wouldn't have
seen that, would you?

Alls I want you to do
is get space.

You get space,
and I promise you,

the ball will come to you.

This is what
I'm really proud of.

The day I die,
whether it be tomorrow

or whether it be
in 60 years' time,

you know what they're
going to say about me?

He was one spot-on dad.

He was always there.

Oh, look at the score, yeah?

So go get that ball.
Go and score.

Go, go, go, Lenny, go!

I want my boys to be ultra
proud of me and be like,

you know what, look what
my dad's achieved in life.

Look how my dad's changed
our lives because he had

the bottle and the courage
and the openness

to go after it,
to change it for us.

Go on, guys.
Well, thank you for today.

Go and find your parents,
and I'll find you next time.

Yeah?
I'll see you next time.

See you next time.

Yeah, up and under
towards Mullin!

Oh, Paul Mullin!

Can Wrexham
see this through, or, well,

will there be a twist
in the tale?

Chasing and he got there!

Oh!

What a huge moment,

both in this game
and the title race!

They come away with a point,

but this will feel like a loss.

Well, lucky for us,
Notts County also drew

1-1 at Bromley,
so we didn't drop points,

which was very,
very un-Wrexham of us.

On to Dag and Red.

Kick it to Lee.
Sweeps, and it's nicely done.

He delivers a header!

Yes!

Oh, I'll tell you what,
Wrexham are on fire here.

So finally, we got to the end
of this brutal month-long slog

of nine matches in a month.

And we were just about
clinging to top spot.

But things aren't
always that easy.

So just in time for our final
game, here comes the snow.

And boy, did it come.

Obviously, quite freakish
kind of weather conditions.

The snow was, yeah,
very deep on the pitch.

I thought, oh, that's going
to be a big challenge.

The weather was
absolutely foul.

But the real problem
we had was there's

no other date for this game if
it doesn't get played today.

And Chal, the groundsman,
said, well,

I'm gonna get 50 people in
to help move it.

And I thought, that's going
to take a lot of effort.

Starting the
epic snow removal.

I think we've got
till 12 o'clock

really to make sure
everything's finished.

It's a bit frozen at the moment,
so it's tougher going.

But the sun'll come up in a bit

and start to give us
a hand as well.

John had mentioned they
needed help at the ground

to get the snow off the pitch.

And it was a straightaway yes.

No one was paid to
be there to do that.

It was all for the
love of the club.

And that's just
a community feeling.

That's always been
around here,

but it's definitely upped.

If we win, we're 7 points
clear of Notts County

before they kick off tonight.

So I think it's getting the
points in the bag as well.

- ...
- 2 and 1/2 hours now,

so it's pretty tiring.

But we need to
get this game on.

I must admit,
when I turned up when I did,

I thought, there's no way this
is getting cleared in time.

But gradual progress, eh?

This is some effort by
everybody, by the way.

There's only so many people
you can actually get to do it.

And listen, this has
surpassed everything

you could ever dream of.

What you're actually
seeing here, though,

is everybody coming
together, from club staff,

management, fans, together.

And you know,
everything looks good.

This was a push
for the whole community.

There is a lot of pressure on us
to deliver for the town.

You know,
we need to win this game.

We was expecting
the worst here,

like when we saw
the pictures yesterday.

But fair play.

Wrexham have got
the pitch cleared,

and the game goes ahead,
so well done to them.

We're going to win 1-0

because we can only
score one goal.

I'm going to go
for 2-1, Southend.

- Two goals?
- Yeah.

Where are we
gonna get them from?

I don't know.
But they're going to go in.

Oh, OK then.

It's pulsing here.

Here the ball stopped,

and we have got a game
on our hands.

Here we go, Wrexham
against Southend United.

It was always going to
be different type of game

because of the conditions.

It was very, very tough.

It looks like
a clash of heads

between Jordan Tunnicliffe.

But they
both look quite hurt.

That's not good, is it?

A hard game, a hard slog.

Tunnicliffe is sprinting off the pitch.

Give him stitches, I guess.

So down to 10 men,

but still trying to push on.

And we just had
to roll our sleeves up

and dig deep as a team.

Getting over the line
in challenging seasons,

you need players to say, yeah,
look back in years to come,

what about that contribution?

We dug fucking deep today.

We dug fucking deep.

When the season
comes to the end,

we'll look back at today at,
they're the fucking

wins which fucking matter.

Let's go!

We'd all like to win 5-0.

But 1-0 is a fucking
fabulous result, lads.

Fucking brilliant.

Brilliant, fucking good.

Phil, I think,
yourself, the staff,

and the fans have earned
a Wrexham Lager tonight

after getting that game off.

That was a huge effort
from everybody.

And yeah, it just--

it kind of gave me a huge lift.

Today means a lot
because, you know,

it's just a performance
where I just

feel that everybody in the
club really pulled together.

I said to the lads today that
we looked at today's game

as the end of a run
of a lot of fixtures

in a short period of time.

Next week is going
to be about really

recharging the batteries and
getting ready to go again.
