Nathan Jones has called Saturday's opponents Wrexham 'a circus' and it seems to have got under the skin of the Welsh side: https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/soccer/wrexham-a-circus-says-charlton-boss-before-league-one-showdown/
Whether it's a smart move in the pre-match mind games or something Jones will come to rue remains to be seen.
Before the Hollywood glamour boys arrived Wrexham was not without its comic elements, not least Mickey Thomas.
During his football career, Thomas became involved in a counterfeit currency scam, whereby he laundered the money through Wrexham's trainees. North Wales Police arrested him in 1993 and following a conviction he was sentenced to 18 months in jail. It has been alleged that 10p coins were involved (remember this was a long time ago).
In August 1992, Thomas was attacked by two men in a country
lane at Dyserth, Clwyd. He was sitting in his Volkswagen with a
29-year-old woman, when his window was smashed and he was assaulted with a
hammer and a screwdriver. Thomas was admitted to hospital with 15 stab wounds
to his left buttock.
It was alleged that the woman was his sister-in-law and that his posture was more vigorous than the word 'sitting' would imply.
