History

Historical Context

Wrexham's historic FA Cup victory over Arsenal in 1980, where they triumphed 2-1 against the reigning champions, showcased their potential against stronger teams. This win, along with subsequent successes under manager Flynn, who led the club from 1989 to 2001, established Wrexham's legacy. Their recent league victory over Oxford United aims to rekindle that spirit as they seek to secure a place in the Championship.
