Going out for a lovely dinner tonight, lovely Saturday that.” Don’t get much better than that. Well, they did just that on Saturday as he was immediately given his first start and second debut for the club, sporting the No.12, and given a brilliant reception from the home supporters. It is the 39-year-old’s second spell at the Racecourse Ground after a loan stint with the Welsh outfit in 2005, where he helped the club win the LDV Vans-sponsored EFL Trophy and then earned a transfer to Manchester United. And what better way to lift it than after playing your closest rivals over the campaign, in a Nomads team whose first defeat of the season only came when they hosted Wrexham in February, and in front of their celebrity owners too. The Women’s team are set to play in front of a record crowd for a domestic women’s football match in Wales on Sunday when they take on Connah’s Quay Nomads, with over 8,000 tickets sold – smashing the previous record of 5,175.

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster makes admission ... (Manchester Evening News)

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster came out of retirement to join National League leaders Wrexham last week.

Post-match, manager Phil Parkinson explained that it was a risk to play Foster because he had been out of action since the end of the 2021/22 campaign. "It was always a big call whether to play Ben Foster because he hasn't played for so long," Parkinson said. An own goal by 'keeper Ryan Whitley gave the hosts the lead just before the break. However, Foster has dispelled those rumours, suggesting that his salary is nowhere near what he was earning at his last club Watford. the part for me is getting the team over the line and getting them promoted. To be honest, the negotiations took about five minutes.

Hartlepool now live in hope of a sudden jolt of form that will see them survive. Orient scored through Paul Smyth, then Hartlepool levelled through Connor Jennings, while the home side also struck the post and bar in their search for a late winner.

The club’s mascot is H’Angus the Monkey and in 2002, Stuart Drummond, the call-centre worker inside that costume, ran for mayor promising free bananas for schoolchildren. Or the way stories were being leaked to local newspaper The Northern Echo (he claims they wanted to turn the fans against him).
