Wrexham 1 Manchester United 3 (Friendly)
Kevin 'Rooster' Russell's testimonial drew more than 5,000 paying fans, who saw the man himself play the first 15 minutes or so. In the event, the United team won easily, taking the lead as early as the ninth minute through Parma youth-team product Giuseppe Rossi. Liam 'The Next Roy Keane' Miller added a second, but Wrexham pulled a goal back before halftime through Danny Williams.
The final goal of the evening came within the last five minutes, when Frazier Campbell added a third for the visitors.
Rooster himself seems to have enjoyed it: "It was absolutely brilliant,"I was gutted to be brought off and I'll be knocking on the gaffer's door!", he told the BBC.
