Wrexham were bottom of the League, and lost 2v3 with Ernie Pythian scoring both goals, in front of a 4,527 crowd.
Wrexham had beaten Luton Town 2v0 (Arfon Griffiths and Mickey Metcalf the scorers) in their previous match, which had ended a run of 12 games without a win, 11 of them being straight defeats. 
In the Peterborough side was  DEREK DOUGAN - the programme noted; 6ft 2 1/2 ins tall, this Irish International came to 'Posh'  from Aston Villa. A personality who can play. "The Doug" is a maker and taker of goals, and at 24 years of age is due to grace the game for many years.

This was Wales' first qualifying match in Group VII of  the 1966 World Cup Finals. Countries in Wales' group were  Denmark, Greece and Russia.
Wales lost this game 0v1 in front of 22,800 people. Sondergaard scored the only goal of the game. 
Welsh group results were;

Wolves beat Spurs 3v1 but were eventually relegated from the First Division that season with Birmingham City. They were replaced by Newcastle United and Northampton Town. The latter had a meteoric rise from the Fourth Division, only to return there in quick succession.
Spurs were sixth that season, below Champions Manchester United, runners up Leeds United, followed by Chelsea, Everton and Nottingham Forest in fifth spot.

Personal note; The Southend team was managed by Penmon born Alvan Williams, who became manager at Wrexham in 1967. He took Terry Bradbury and Ray Smith with him. He also appointed John Neal as his first team trainer. All three appear on the team sheet.
John later became Wrexham managed, laying the foundations for Arfon Griffiths to take the team into the then Second Division of the Football League, in 1977/78

This Football League Division Three match was played at Borough Park, Workington, on January 28th 1966, and relayed to The Den, Millwall, for 'away supporters' to see the match 'at home'.
This is the Millwall 'away' programme. 

This was my second first class game. The first Football League match I ever saw was the previous season, also at Bramhall Lane, against Fulham. 
Bramhall Lane in those days had an open side to the pitch, as it was also used to play cricket!

Personal note; My first International game. Played at Wrexham, Wales won 2v0. Pat Jennings, in my opinion, the best goalkeeper of all time, was magnificent.
Daily Post wrote; A major reason why Wales did not get more goals than the two scored by Ron Rees (75 minutes) and Wyn Davies (87) was a superb display by Pat Jennings, the Irish goalkeeper.
He earned the 'Man of the Match' rating from Welsh team manager, Dave Bowen. 'But for him, we would have had at least five goals'.

Newtown's programme notes stated; The club  now has the Ground and Social Club equal to any in Non-League Welsh Football and the present Officials and Committee see the move into the Northern Premier League as a significant one in keeping with the progressive traditions of the Club.
Chairman John Hughes wrote; Today it really does give me great pleasure to welcome our visitors from Lancashire to Latham Park. The name of Accrington Stanley does conjure up in ones mind the great traditions of Soccer and we hope that their visit to the area is a pleasant one. 

A Step Back In Time.

Ken, a long standing Wrexham supporter, took it upon himself to put together a scrap book of information, including match reports, paper clippings and photos profiling our 1977/78 campaign. Between now and the end of the season we will be profiling sections of that past campaign so that some of you supporters can relive one of the most memorable seasons in the club's long and distinguished history.
