From Robins to Red Dragons
The Evolution of Wrexham FC" Are you or a loved one featured in the 100's of historic club photos?
The story of Wrexham Football Club is best told through the images that have defined its journey. Each picture in this collection, from sepia-toned team photographs from the early days to the electric action shots of the modern era, captures a unique moment in history. You’ll find proud captains, jubilant crowds, and the unmistakable grit that has made Wrexham one of the most respected names in the Football League. For generations, families have scoured these images, searching for a familiar face—perhaps a grandparent, uncle, or even themselves—frozen forever in the club’s rich tapestry.
The club’s reputation was cemented by a string of remarkable performances over the last fifty years. Notably, Wrexham reached the quarterfinals of the English FA Cup on three separate occasions: the 1973/74, 1977/78, and 1996/97 seasons. Each run was marked by underdog spirit and a refusal to give in, but the victory over Arsenal in January 1992 remains the crowning glory. That match, still recounted in pubs and living rooms across Wales, stands as a testament to what the club can achieve on its day.
Of course, the photographs and memorabilia in this book go far beyond those headline moments. There are snapshots from Wrexham’s golden era in the late 1970s and early ’80s, when the stands at the Racecourse Ground were packed and the club’s fortunes were on the rise. Fans will recognise the transformation from the Robins to the Red Dragons, a change that reflected not just a new nickname but a new sense of direction and pride. Each page is a reminder of matches, faces and stories that have shaped the club’s identity.
With over 200 images, this pictorial history is more than just a collection—it’s an invitation to reminisce, celebrate, and perhaps discover something new about Wrexham Football Club. Whether you’re a lifelong supporter or a newcomer to the Red Dragons’ family, the passion and history on display here are impossible to ignore. This book is a must for anyone who cherishes the highs and lows of football and the enduring spirit of Wrexham.
