A Game to Remember!


I was 14 years of age and a prisoner in a concentration camp in North Wales, a pupil in a public school. The above game was played at the Racecourse, Wrexham where I would bunk off games on Saturday afternoon and go and see Wrexham play. This day we (the Welshies) were listening to our Transistor Radios and could not believe the result. The crackling made the goals sound more special somehow.



The exact make and model of Transistor Radio that I was packing that day  (PYE)


Games like this do not happen now and it is very unlikely that a game between Wales and England will ever throw up a scoreline like this again. Now we've drawn England in the European Championships in France, let's hope for a repeat performance of the one above. #YsbrydWrecsam
