    Humphrey - what a guy! Every interview about the show is like groundhog day for him, but he never looks pissed off or irritated about having to explain the story over & over & over again. He just rolls it out every time, almost word for word. Yes it's in his job as the frontman of the club I know, but it would do my nut in _personally_ .
    I wish there was 'Skip Intro' button ala Netflix etc, to jump to the interviewers actual questions....is the story of what's going on at the club even _needed_ anymore? Unless you've been living under a rock for the last 3yrs I guess... 🤷‍♂

    If the Wrexham AFC endeavor were a movie, Humphrey would be it's Narrator. He is the viewers lens into the story.

    Love that closing off line, so true, so joyful in a world gone mad. ❤
    I am of Scottish decent, however born and bred in Southern Africa. This series has been so comforting and always blows my mind, the incredible diversity, accents, language, cultures and traditions in the U.K.!! Navigating all the accents in the series has been hysterical. My in laws are N Irish , and I couldn’t understand a word when I first met them. They came to SA in their early twenties and still so strong.
    Have a beautiful day everyone 🧚🌿🕊️🪽

    I couldn't have said it better myself! Indeed HUMPHREY is "Joy(ful) in a world gone mad!" Great interview! I didn't know of Humphrey's naval historical novel nerd-ship and it just makes him even more interesting and endearing. He is such a wonderful, valued, eloquent and instrumental part of this ongoing fabulous story!

    (As the club gets roadblocks thrown in front of them by the council, as they try to get the permits issued so construction can begin on the permanent Kop stand.) Riiiiiiiiiiight.

    Humphrey reminds me of this dude I knew back in the '70s. He was an old hippie that went hang gliding a lot. He just looks like he could be his brother. He was one of the first people to ever show me cannabis, so I'd like to spark one off with Humphrey sometime 🙂

    The propaganda part of the Wrexham story (meaning the show) is top tier... and I genuinely mean that as a compliment. It hits all the right notes at the right times... but something like that can't really be manufactured properly... it has to be organic.
    Combining it with real world "on field" success... and a massive community turnout for support... it is quite the epic sports fairytale type situation. Good interview

    Hit the nail on head over post industrial decline . U.S Reagan and U.K Thatcherite economics have created a widening class gulf, because replacing high skilled , better paid* work with low paid and insecure zero hours call center work is not providing. Nor is the financial bubble generating the wealth in the SE of England providing the taxes required to ensure needs services . Trickle down economics failure 101. In the U.S there is land and opportunity to basically abandon entire cities and start again from scratch , ghost towns in the rust belt , the UK does not have that luxury, nor the luxury of having culture war between Liberal middle class thinking and Capitalist Tory upper class thinking, to solve the problems created by economic mismanagement. For socialism (moderate) to be in control , will still take decades to restore the imbalance, and people not sold on the lies that stock market gambling, and property restriction inflation, is a safe future for all.
