Boss Phil Parkinson sat down his squad this week to examine just why Wrexham have such a proud tradition in the competition.

Mickey Thomas’ spectacular free-kick that knocked out Arsenal in 1992 took pride of place, but there was also footage of memorable wins over Newcastle and West Ham and the 4-3 victory at Coventry three years ago when Wrexham were a National League team under Parkinson.

“It was a real good insight to some fantastic moments down the years, to get the feel of the history of the FA Cup and what it means to everyone at the club,” said midfielder Dobson.

“It gave me goosebumps to see that what's been created before and it makes you feel you've got that opportunity to create that history for yourself.

“We have an opportunity against a good Premier League club to stamp our own history here, and that is one the whole group is really looking forward to.
