ONE OF Wrexham AFC's greatest FA Cup heroes has had his say on the fourth round draw of the historic competition.
The Reds reached that stage of the cup after beating bitter rivals Shrewsbury Town 1-0 on Sunday (January 7).
Then, a day later, the FA Cup draw took place and confirmed that Wrexham would travel away to EFL Championship Blackburn Rovers in the fourth round.
The tie at Ewood Park will be held between January 26 and 29 (date to be confirmed).
And it will be the first time the two clubs have faced off since 1982 when a Denis Leman goal was the difference in a 1-0 win for Wrexham.
After the draw, one of Wrexham's true FA Cup heroes was on hand to provide a brilliant reaction.
