As a Wrexham fan, this was a brilliant episode…up the town

[@davidwood4118]

As a Seattleite, onboard with Wrexham's magical narrative, Mark's graciousness boosts the story even further. How can anyone not warm to his old-school team sacrifice? Both Mark and Ben win hearts and minds in this episode. With these two, a glorious future beckons!

[@danhewett6086]

As a Baggies fan I look forward to this, one story I've got from the one and only time I met Ben was back in September 2012, WBA were playing Reading at home in the Prem and it was my older brother's 18th birthday that day. Before the match when he was doing his warm up, I went to get a photo with Ben because he did this ritual after making a few saves he would go behind the goal to talk to the kids and take photos. It got to my photo and my brother was taking a long time to take it, Ben just said "bloody hell, come on mate I've gotta get back to the warm up here" eventually we got the picture but it was brilliant. We actually laugh about it now as a family, Ben is an absolute legend for that alone. Happy birthday to him and hopefully he's fit again for your game on Friday

UP THE BAGGIES!!!!!

Brilliant episode! Thanks Mark! Gotta get Del Morgan on ASAP!

Good job Mark! You show true class as a teammate. Just subscribed to your channel!

Love this video. Thanks Mark & Ben! You two are so important in today’s match against NottsCounty (10/APR/23). If you ever want to improve your footwork, I’ll book a badminton court & we’ll have a knock-about ? Heh heh… I play for Connah’s Quay BC. Good luck fellas

[@robclarke3402]

Very good Mark. Ill certainly watch more of your podcast now. Up The Town!

[@yoursmineawaypodcast]

Love to hear it 🧤🧤

[@stevebeevers1214]

New to your pod Mark. It’s quality. Ben and yourself have a terrific craic. Please come down to the Wrexham academy training Monday or Thursday. My son would love to meet you guys. He is one of the u12 keepers 👍⚽️🧤

[@aaronoakes6565]

mark made me fall in love with the gk position at school 10 years later bens yt has made me want to carry on persuing my dream of playing in goal, since i have started to fall out of love with the glorious game and began focusing on work, lukily i have the oportunity to do both in one, couldnt think of a better pair to be watching in a time of crisis

[@66meikou]

I'm a goalie from years ago. I love Ben for his enthusiasm. Back in my time (80's) I used to wear Uhlsport gloves and their shin pads. I also use to carry the glove bag and put in the net. I was just a novice so I paid for everything myself. Adidas World Cup 78 boots and my Uhlsport stuff. The one thing I used to do, which I've seen a keeper do is, I used to have a mini spray bottle in my glove bag filled with water. I'd grab the bottle every now and then to wet my gloves. In a pinch, I'd have a drink.

[@2006HUGO]

So happy mark and Ben can be so friendly. Great team spirit

[@yoursmineawaypodcast]

We agree!

[@nera_--]

Great vid. Keep em coming ;)

My buddy has a tshirt says "I put Ketchup on my ketchup." And the best Ketchup out of America is Portland Organic Ketchup.

[@jakecollin5499]

Nothing that's the best in America comes out of that shit hole

[@patj87]

I'd love to see you interact with a hockey goalie. There are no limits on substitutions in hockey. When you let in about 4-5 you are switched out for the backup depending on how they went in. How would you feel if a football goalie could be switched out without effecting the substitutions? Reynolds might be a part owner of a bunch of them in Ottawa and Belleville soon!

[@sym1440]

Good episode Mark love Fozzy & what a support you are to him in the squad, great team attitude & a good example to any players

Not bothered by us signing Fozzie - especially if it gets us over the line and promoted? What's the betting that Mark's got a big promotion bonus written into his contract!
