Each week UTB takes an alternative look over our opponents...<br />
1864…<br />
Formed in 1864, <strong>Wrexham</strong><br />
are the oldest club in<br />
Wales and the third oldest<br />
professional association<br />
football team in the<br />
world. The club initially<br />
participated in friendlies<br />
and cup competitions, and<br />
first entered a league by<br />
joining The Combination<br />
in 1890.<br />
ROBBIE NOT RYAN...<br />
Ryan Reynolds and coowner<br />
Rob McElhenney<br />
are now the two most<br />
famous names associated<br />
with <strong>Wrexham</strong>, but Robbie<br />
Savage was born in the<br />
city in 1974. The midfielder,<br />
who won 39 caps for<br />
Wales, represented<br />
SHEFFIELD UNITED <strong>vs</strong> WREXHAM<br />
the likes of Leicester<br />
City, Birmingham City,<br />
Blackburn Rovers and<br />
Derby County, before<br />
becoming owner of<br />
Macclesfield Town.<br />
THINGS LOOKING UP...<br />
Phil Parkinson seemingly<br />
has his side well on course<br />
to win promotion back<br />
to the EFL this season.<br />
<strong>Wrexham</strong> are currently<br />
in their 15th consecutive<br />
campaign in England’s fifth<br />
tier following relegation<br />
from League Two in 2008.<br />
MACCA CALLS TIME...<br />
Blades assistant boss<br />
and former midfield<br />
maestro Stuart McCall<br />
made his final professional<br />
FAMOUS FACES...<br />
appearance against<br />
<strong>Wrexham</strong> in a League<br />
Cup tie for the Blades in<br />
September 2004. <strong>United</strong><br />
won the game 3-2, thanks<br />
to a brace from Andy<br />
Gray and a goal from Phil<br />
Jagielka.<br />
Focusing on matters on the pitch, a number of<br />
famous players have plied their trade at The<br />
Racecourse in the past, including former England<br />
stopper Ben Foster and Wales midfielder Joe<br />
Allen. Former Liverpool legends Ian Rush and Alan<br />
Kennedy and Paul Pogba’s brother Mathias have<br />
all pulled on a <strong>Wrexham</strong> shirt.
