OLLIE: Ready, bounce!
[grunting]
CHILD: [giggling]
OLLIE: Yeah! Ah! Ah!
I'm taller than you!
I'm taller!
[slow pensive music]
CHILD: [growls]
- Whoa!
Can't even pull you up.
I'm coming down.
And then I tell her
I'm moving up to Wrexham,
like, what the fuck?
REPORTER: It seems Rob, Ryan,
and Phil Parkinson
have worked some magic with
their record-breaking signing
of 6'5" striker Ollie Palmer.
With a whopping price
of £300,000,
Palmer is coming down
two tiers
from League One's
Wimbledon AFC.
The big man is sure
to invigorate
Parkinson's squad and bring
some much-needed physicality
to the top of the pitch.
Thank you.
OLLIE: Yeah, yeah.
Here?
OFFICIAL: Yeah, thank you.
Well, you're on that.
You're on it.
So, uh, so you put
the clause in there.
Thank you very much.
BUDDY: [singing] Every day,
it's a-getting closer
Goin' faster
than a roller coaster
Love like yours
will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Every day,
it's a-getting' faster
Everyone said,
"Go ahead and ask her"
Love like yours
will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey
Love like yours
will surely come my way
[energetic suspenseful music]
SPORTSCASTER:
Well, hello and welcome
to the Racecourse.
Welcome to Wrexham here.
And a match made massive
not only by the factor
Wrexham and Grimsby
are ancient rivals,
but also by the arrival
of Ollie Palmer
and the main team news
of Wrexham.
Well, I say
the main team news
[rock music]
[rock music]
SINGER: [singing]
I'm a motherfucking beast
SINGER: [singing]
I'm a motherfucking beast
SINGER: [singing]
I'm a motherfucking beast
[cheering]
I'm a motherfucking beast
SPORTSCASTER:
By the keeper
Wrexham take the lead!
On his debut
SINGER: [singing]
You don't want problems
I'm a motherfucking beast
You don't want problems
with me
[cheering]
[birds chirping]
[dogs barking distantly]
JORDAN: And away you go.
This is the furniture knife, innit?
I'm a pro at this now.
Well, I was.
Hope they're nice.
KELSEY: [chuckles]
JORDAN: We have had
a slow start this season.
With the complete
overhaul of players
and the new gaffer,
it's a process.
It takes time.
It's got something underneath, though.
It says "empty box."
I'm gonna pull that
KELSEY:
That's probably just, uh
- Pull it off?
- To keep it stable.
JORDAN: The ultimate goal
is promotion.
The easiest way
of getting that
is winning the league,
so I'd love to take Wrexham
to that level.
And it allows me
to stay at home
and build a future.
[soft dramatic music]
Yeah?
KELSEY: Yeah?
JORDAN: It's getting there.
Mm-hmm, yeah.
JORDAN: Me and Kelsey met
in school at 15,
and ever since then,
we've been together.
Been a great ride
for both of us.
We've been
away from each other,
we've been together,
and now we've moved back here
together.
It's great that
I can share my life with Kels
and she can vice versa.
[soft dramatic music]
KELSEY: When we found out
that I was pregnant,
we were really happy.
We had a miscarriage
during COVID.
So I find out
we were pregnant
it was extra special.
JORDAN: We're in a good place.
We're getting and
we're building on our future
and it is a good time
and long may it continue.
And hopefully with Wrexham,
I can bring my best game,
fulfill potential,
and take us up the leagues.
[soft dramatic music]
COACH: How do you explain it?
[laughter]
JORDAN: January transfer
window shut yesterday,
and it was probably
a successful one for us.
JORDAN: And when
that does all click,
I think we'll almost become
unstoppable in the league.
PHIL: I'm so determined
to bring this town success.
I'm trying everything
that I can to do that.
And, yeah, it's gonna be
an exciting last 18 games.
SPORTSCASTER: A right battle
at the top
of the National League.
Hayden.
Beaten to the ball there
by Grimes.
Reece Hall-Johnson.
In to Luke Young,
out to Liam McAlinden.
He's made a difference
since coming on.
Puts the ball into the box.
It's a great ball.
And it's in the back post,
and what a save.
Goes across goal,
and it's Ollie Palmer!
He's got it in that time
and Wrexham take the lead!
[cheering]
What a moment for Wrexham!
[upbeat music]
SINGER: [singing] Together,
we'll shine way too bright
I see you squint those eyes
SPORTSCASTER: It's Wrexham 1,
Chesterfield 0.
You cannot give Ollie Palmer
a second opportunity on goal!
Whoo! Beautiful!
SPORTSCASTER:
And it's the Red Dragons
who fire ahead
at the Technique Stadium!
[upbeat music]
SPORTSCASTER:
And the technique's there.
And ball's gone in.
And it's in!
[cheering]
The goal's been given
and Wrexham are in!
The lead, again, is 2-0!
[cheering]
SINGER: [singing] World
of shit, this world of shit
Don't want to live forever
if things stay like this
SPORTSCASTER:
And that is full time
at the Technique Stadium.
And it's Wrexham
who claim all three points.
WREXHAM FANS: Wrexham! Wrexham!
MAX: We got away with that one.
- I know, I know.
SPORTSCASTER: And it's Wrexham
who've come away
with all three points.
REPORTER: Entering
the final third of the season,
and Wrexham are flying
into Match Day 29
after that Chesterfield win,
Now in fifth place
and looking to smash
lowly Aldershot Town.
SPORTSCASTER:
The ball to Mullin.
He takes the shot!
And he takes the goal!
SINGER: [singing]
Should have tried
When life is failing,
you're my cheat sheet
SPORTSCASTER:
Now attempting the ball.
And Wrexham play it past
again.
Davies takes the chance!
[cheering]
Palmer carries on,
plays it in smart.
Ball to McFadzean.
Palmer!
SINGER: [singing]
Don't want to live forever
I mean, come on.
And he'she's
REPORTER: Just bouncing
from one victory to the next
and into Match Day 30.
Wrexham are now up
to fourth place
and facing second from bottom,
King's Lynn Town,
a team they battered
back in November.
SINGER: [singing]
If things stay like this
[upbeat music]
Stay like this,
things stay like this
[cheering]
All together made that goal.
Great!
SINGER: [singing] Together,
we'll cause a stampede
SINGER: [singing]
As you're making fun of me
[cheering]
Yeah, fun of me,
as you're making fun of me
RYAN: Hi, this is Ryan.
ROB: This is Rob,
and these are the highlights
from Wrexham versus
Boreham Wood.
RYAN: Palmer scores.
Wrexham 1-0.
SINGER: [singing]
Don't want to live forever
In this world of shit
RYAN: Hayden heads it in.
ROB: Look at this atmosphere.
RYAN: [laughs]
KID: Yeah!
SPORTSCASTER: What a goal!
Come on, then!
RYAN: Jones making it three
for Wrexham.
[cheering]
Before you know it,
Mullin makes it 4-2, Wrexham.
ROB: Upped the talent.
SPORTSCASTER: Wow,
what a performance that was.
What a win that was.
Wrexham beat Boreham Wood 4-2.
[laughing]
[indistinct chatter]
[soft upbeat music]
We've been on a good run
with the additions we made
and the work we did
in January.
And it wasn't major surgery.
[soft upbeat music]
Two feet.
Oh, Young and Greens,
down you go!
Ten press-ups for us.
Ollie Palmer's been fantastic
for us.
I think he gave Paul Mullin
a huge lift bringing him in.
OLLIE:
I fucking scored on Tuesday,
and they're singing,
"Johnny Mullins."
PAUL: What?
OLLIE: I score on Tuesday,
and they're singing,
"Mullin, Mullin, Mullin."
[laughs]
There's a partnership
we envisaged.
And it's shown a lot of signs
that it's gonna be
a successful one for the club
going forward,
short- and long-term.
That's not a lot, is it?
I'll just do what I do.
SERVER: This is
an avocado on toast.
OLLIE: Amazing.
Oh, ta, thank you.
Thank you, love.
Cheers.
OLLIE: No, no.
SERVER: Ketchup.
Yeah, no problem.
PAUL: Yes, please.
- Enjoy.
- Thank you.
[electronic music
playing on phone]
ASH: Let's go, Cal.
CAL: Let's go.
This is Cal the Dragon,
my name's Ash Freestyle,
and we're here today
just filming TikToks
with the Wrexham team.
[energetic upbeat music]
I do, like,
freestyle football tricks
and skills and bits like that.
PLAYER:
Show us some skills, then.
ASH: Oh, putting us
on the spot.
PLAYER: Oh!
All right.
[indistinct]
- No one here can do that, man.
- No.
ASH: We got reached out
by our TikTok manager
to come down to Wrexham
and film some TikTok videos
with the team.
We'll hit record
on the camera.
It's like kicking the ball
on the beat.
Pretty fast, as you've seen.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
After you kick it,
just run straight out,
and hopefully,
it'll look pretty good.
[energetic music]
both: Boom, boom, boom,
boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
OLLIE: We better find
a new beat for that.
[energetic music]
PERSON: Go!
[energetic music]
[somber music]
PHIL: Just make sure
that forward foot,
sweep it
'round the front there.
[somber music]
[indistinct chatter]
PERSON: Hey, hey!
So
- Rough, man.
- Mm-hmm.
[somber music]
PHIL: I think as a manager,
the one thing
you gotta remember is
you're dealing
with 24, 25 young men.
You've gotta be aware of that,
and sometimes
it's not just a case
of, "You're not playing
very well."
You know,
between all the staff,
we try and spend as much time
with the players as we can.
And, um, that's sometimes
not sitting in the office.
It might just be a casual chat
on the training pitch
before training.
Jordy.
Yeah, how's the missus?
JORDAN: From the first scans,
things were
never really right.
It's notwe just haven't
had any good news at all.
Oh, really?
JORDAN: Like, for the whole.
It's just been shit
the whole time.
So we're just, again,
waiting on more results
and more results.
- Right.
JORDAN: And it's just
it's just not
20?
JORDAN: Yeah.
Yeah.
- Right.
- Yeah. It is what it is.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
PHIL: You know,
when you have players
whose wives or girlfriends
are expecting
and you've had children yourself,
you understand
that how that moment
and how thehow life-changing
it is going to be.
So with Jordan Davies'
situation, I feel for.
[somber music]
JORDAN:
My escape was football.
I went to football
so I could escape
what was happening at home.
[dramatic music]
SPORTSCASTER:
And he's got one here.
Davies strikes
and it's in for Wrexham!
Jordan Davies has done it!
[cheering]
We said
the roof might come off!
There's a strike.
And that's
an incredible finish.
PHIL:
Jordan, he's been exceptional
and has produced big moments
in games.
It was a tough period for him
and you gotta put it
in perspective
how well he did continue
playing through that time.
SPORTSCASTER:
It's Davies and it's in.
[cheering and chanting]
Come with me. Come.
[Isabella fusses]
All right.
AARON: Leave me alone.
IONA: She's like,
"I don't want no help."
[both chuckle]
This way, this way.
[soft pleasant music]
AARON: Through the tunnel.
IONA: Hooray. Well done.
We try and do this,
what do you say, every week?
Every week, yeah.
Every week we near enough
try and get out on a day off
and do something.
AARON: Yeah.
But it's usually
always something different.
IONA: Shaky, shaky.
AARON: Oh, my days.
IONA: Mai
AARON: Izzy!
Look at that.
IZZY: Whoa!
IONA: [chuckles]
[energetic dramatic music]
SPORTSCASTER:
Tozer sends in the ball.
[energetic dramatic music]
Hayden!
[cheering]
Come on!
IONA: Let's go!
SPORTSCASTER: Hayden stands
tall above everyone.
[crowd chanting]
[laughing]
IONA: Yeah.
But you gotta use
youryouryour
SPORTSCASTER:
May have been switched on
at the right moment,
but they are in this case!
[upbeat music]
Ben Tozer, Aaron Hayden!
[soaring gospel music]
[birds chirping]
[soft dramatic music]
KELSEY: It was 27 weeks,
so we went through
proper labor.
It was heartbreaking.
It was really difficult.
It's definitely true
when people say, you know,
time's a healer.
'Cause it does get easier.
But in that moment,
it's really difficult
to go through.
But
[heartfelt music]
A lot of people actually got
in touch with me after,
saying they'd been through
something similar
and connected us
to the charity
working with
bereaved families,
which is who we done
the fundraising for.
The donations kept coming in.
I was so surprised.
We cannot thank
everyone enough.
From people you don't even know
getting in touch
to donating to Arthur's charity
that we can help
many other families with,
it'sit's beautiful, really.
KELSEY: At the end of the day,
for Jord,
the fact
that people understood
that he wasn't
just this footballer,
he was actually human.
[heartfelt music]
REPORTER: Owners Ryan Reynolds
and Rob McElhenney
are doubling down on Davies,
offering the hometown hero
a three-year extension.
SHAUN: Jordan Davies,
the local lad,
scoring goals for fun
from midfield.
I mean, he's a commodity
that clubs
in the National League
don't normally have
at their disposal.
You know, and signing Jones
with a new contract
was massively important
for the club.
He was massively important
on the field.
He was actually
massively important
for off the field as well.
We're really lucky
that he actually
got his new contract,
'cause he's gonna be here
for a few more years.
So it's actually
it worked out amazingly,
'cause I think
there's no better place
at the minute for him to be.
[heartfelt music]
[child giggles, seagull cries]
[slow pensive music]
OLLIE: Ready, bounce!
[grunting]
CHILD: [giggling]
OLLIE: Yeah! Ah! Ah!
I'm taller than you!

JORDAN: And it's just
it's just not
20?
JORDAN: Yeah.
Yeah.
- Right.
- Yeah. It is what it is.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
PHIL: You know,
when you have players
whose wives or girlfriends
are expecting
and you've had children yourself,
you understand
that how that moment
and how thehow life-changing
it is going to be.
So with Jordan Davies'
situation, I feel for.
[somber music]
JORDAN:
My escape was football.
I went to football
so I could escape
what was happening at home.
[dramatic music]
SPORTSCASTER:
And he's got one here.
Davies strikes
and it's in for Wrexham!
Jordan Davies has done it!
[cheering]
We said
the roof might come off!
There's a strike.
And that's
an incredible finish.
PHIL:
Jordan, he's been exceptional
and has produced big moments
in games.
It was a tough period for him
and you gotta put it
in perspective
how well he did continue
playing through that time.
SPORTSCASTER:
It's Davies and it's in.
[cheering and chanting]
Come with me. Come.
[Isabella fusses]
All right.
AARON: Leave me alone.
IONA: She's like,
"I don't want no help."
[both chuckle]
This way, this way.
[soft pleasant music]
AARON: Through the tunnel.
IONA: Hooray. Well done.
We try and do this,
what do you say, every week?
Every week, yeah.
Every week we near enough
try and get out on a day off
and do something.
AARON: Yeah.
But it's usually
always something different.
IONA: Shaky, shaky.
AARON: Oh, my days.
IONA: Mai
AARON: Izzy!
Look at that.
IZZY: Whoa!
IONA: [chuckles]
[energetic dramatic music]
SPORTSCASTER:
Tozer sends in the ball.
[energetic dramatic music]
Hayden!
[cheering]
Come on!
IONA: Let's go!
SPORTSCASTER: Hayden stands
tall above everyone.
[crowd chanting]
[laughing]
IONA: Yeah.
But you gotta use
youryouryour
SPORTSCASTER:
May have been switched on
at the right moment,
but they are in this case!
[upbeat music]
Ben Tozer, Aaron Hayden!
[soaring gospel music]
[birds chirping]
[soft dramatic music]
KELSEY: It was 27 weeks,
so we went through
proper labor.
It was heartbreaking.
It was really difficult.
It's definitely true
when people say, you know,
time's a healer.
'Cause it does get easier.
But in that moment,
it's really difficult
to go through.
But
[heartfelt music]
A lot of people actually got
in touch with me after,
saying they'd been through
something similar
and connected us
to the charity
working with
bereaved families,
which is who we done
the fundraising for.
The donations kept coming in.
I was so surprised.
We cannot thank
everyone enough.
From people you don't even know
getting in touch
to donating to Arthur's charity
that we can help
many other families with,
it'sit's beautiful, really.
KELSEY: At the end of the day,
for Jord,
the fact
that people understood
that he wasn't
just this footballer,
he was actually human.
[heartfelt music]
REPORTER: Owners Ryan Reynolds
and Rob McElhenney
are doubling down on Davies,
offering the hometown hero
a three-year extension.
SHAUN: Jordan Davies,
the local lad,
scoring goals for fun
from midfield.
I mean, he's a commodity
that clubs
in the National League
don't normally have
at their disposal.
You know, and signing Jones
with a new contract
was massively important
for the club.
He was massively important
on the field.
He was actually
massively important
for off the field as well.
We're really lucky
that he actually
got his new contract,
'cause he's gonna be here
for a few more years.
So it's actually
it worked out amazingly,
'cause I think
there's no better place
at the minute for him to be.
[heartfelt music]
