MAGIC moments. When it comes to Wrexham FC everyone has their favourite and the town's Assembly Member is no different.
The Evening Leader is calling on fans young and old to share their memories to form part of a 24 page guide being released next month.

Lesley Griffiths AM has no hesitation in recalling hers, which range from her first ever match at The Racecourse to a cup final just three years ago which saw the Reds triumph in the Welsh capital.

She said: "My first ever match at the Racecourse ground was memorable. It was just after my 12th birthday on 22nd January 1972. We beat Shrewsbury Town 2-1 in a local derby match.

"Without any doubt for me, my favourite Racecourse moment, has to be when Wrexham beat the then, football league champions, Arsenal, 2-1 in the FA Cup Third round on January 4 1992. I will never forget that wonderful free-kick by Mickey Thomas. What a great day that was to be Wrexham fan.

"However, my most favourite memory of all, has to be beating Southend United 2-0, in the LDV Vans final at the Millennium Stadium on April 10, 2005. What a truly magical day that was! I will never forget how thousands of Wrexham fans descended on Cardiff to see us lift the trophy.

"I have many great memories of watching Wrexham and I am sure of one thing – the future will bring me many more. Come on you Reds!"
