OTD 1989
Wrexham 3-1 Scunthorpe Utd
Play Off Semi Final 1st Leg
Sunday 21st May
2.00pm kick-off
37 years ago today - the last time we were ever in the Football League play offs.
This great picture from the front of the Kop shows fans (and police!) getting a bit over excited after we had scored.
Darren Wright scored a 30 yard screamer after just two minutes, and Ollie Kearns hit two more, to take a two goal lead into the second leg.
Ollie rathbone was robbed by this dodgy handball.
You can talk about teams buying leagues but Chelsea have spent at least Β£1 billion more than us the last 5 years, and we ran that game today.
@BillyBadge10552@RichPhillips It was awful. Totally ruined the occasion.
The dream of Premier League and that shit var has totally put me off.
More than happy with the championship.
@officialbantams@PethBassSols Give him time on the ball and he will get you goals from nothing.
Top player.
He'll be well up for playing for you at Bradford in front of big crowds.
Best wishes to him.
Legend for us at Wrexham. π
