Wrexham beat Ipswich 1-0 on Friday night in the FA Cup to book their place in the fifth round for the first time since 1997.

Josh Windass’ neat finish secured a 29-year high for Wrexham, on the same week that the club celebrated five years since Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac bought the club.

After the match, manager Phil Parkinson was keen to take a breath to let the club’s latest impressive achievement sink in.

“Every season in football is special and you’ve got to savour it,” said Parkinson.

“The FA Cup is part of that and it was important that we backed up the Nottingham Forest win with another win tonight.”

The transformation in the club in five years has been remarkable. The ‘Hollywood Takeover’ began with the club sitting in seventh in the National League. Wrexham are now seventh in the Championship and making Cup history.

“I think it’s great for our owners, Rob and Ryan, it was their fifth year anniversary and to get them into the fifth round is great for them as well,” said Parkinson.

“We can really look forward to the draw on Monday night when we’re in the hotel in Bristol. We’ll savour that.

“But like we did last time, back burner now for the FA Cup, concentrate on the league.”

When asked about memorable nights becoming standard, the 58-year-old responded: “Let’s not get too blasé about it, but listen, we’ve had so many great nights here and we want more.

“We’re greedy, why shouldn’t we be?”
