Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool have already fallen this season and Wrexham held their own against a side that could be in the top flight come next campaign. In forcing a replay, Phil Parkinson's men now have to travel to Sheffield to play the second leg away from home for a chance to reach the fifth round. A near-capacity crowd plus TV coverage and a host of social media attention related to the game will have put Wrexham on the soccer map a bit more for those previously unfamiliar with them. Sheffield United had other ideas, though, and broke Wrexham hearts five minutes into added time when John Egan equalized for the 10 men to earn a replay at Bramall Lane. Wrexham are by some way the underdogs in this matchup despite enjoying stronger financial backing than most at this level. The Wales-based side play in the National League, which is the fifth tier of professional English soccer, and three levels below the Blades who they have now taken to a replay.

In The Turf, we’re sort of in the eye of the storm. “Watching that was 100 per cent the catalyst for my interest (in coming here),” he says. It would be fair to say nothing has been the same in Wrexham since.
