It says on here that Mickey 'T' scored the winning goal when the mighty Wrexham beat Arsenal.He actually scored the EQUALIZING goal, Steve Watkin scored the winner

When I was a kid, Mickey lived in the US for a while playing for our local club. I remember him being my favorite player. He lived directly across the street from me and I was good friends with his son (we played soccer together). Every once in a while Mickey would even be an assistant coach for our team. I always was so star struck!

I met Mickey at Old Trafford on Sunday for the game against Chelsea. Even though he was in a mad rush he stopped for a chat and to pose for a photo. What an absolute gent.

Elwyn Edwards, Rhyl. Mochdre born.
When he was about four years old Mickey used to stand behind the goal at the Mochdre ground on a Sunday morning as we trained.
Because there were no nets we used to pay him sixpence to retrieve the ball, usually he had to scramble over a fence to get it.
His dad Reg, a great player himself, used to join in the kick-in alongside Trevor Roberts, undoubtedly the best player the village produced,including Mickey and Reg Hunter, also of Man U. Trevor, however, chose to stay locally despite overtures from the likes of Liverpool.
Trevor and I played in the best Mochdre side ever, winning many trophies. We both went on to play for the Bay.
I am sure Mickey will remember Trevor, who is still an avid Bay supporter.

During my first year at high school, Pendorlan in Colwyn Bay in 1968-69, our break-time games of footy came to a virtual standstill whenever Mickey Thomas got the ball (as I recall he was a 'third-year'). All the older boys would simply give up and let him get on with it, it was only us first-years who were dumb enough to try to chase him. But needless to say we could never get the ball off him. Even when trapped in a corner of the school yard surrounded by three or four first-years, he would spin around on one foot, rolling the ball under the other foot then sprint away. (This was while wearing those elasticated slip-on shoes that were popular at the time).
