Written by lawyer-turned-author Andrew Foley Jones (*pictured right), the first book sold thousands of copies and ranked number one on Amazon in the football charts, number two in Sports, and four in Humour.


Such was its success there have been talks with screenwriters and production companies interested in taking the tale of one fanatical Red Dragons supporter and his weird and wonderful journey to the big screen.


Andrew, who hails from Prestatyn and is a director of Mackenzie Jones Solicitors – based in St Asaph, Menai Bridge and Chester – says the response to the sequel has already been positive and hopes this second offering will help him achieve his literary goals.


"The reaction to It's Always Sunny in Wrexham was incredible, beyond anything I expected," said Andrew, partner to Sarah and Dad to Ianto and Iolo.

"As well as discussions with producers in the UK and America we are in talks about a podcast – which would be presented by a prominent sportsman and comedian and myself – and an audiobook.


"It is quite surreal, and the interest seemed to rise in tandem with the club itself, as there were a lot of sales in the US and overseas – I even had people from all over the world coming over wanting to meet up for a photo and an autograph!

“To top it off a script has been written by an award-winning screenwriter and talks are taking place about turning the first book and the sequel in a TV series and a film – incredible.”



*The author Andrew Foley Jones at Wrexham Football Club with supporters.


Having received rave reviews, featured in the popular Fearless in Devotion podcast, the New York Times and major sports publications – as well as being interviewed for the mega award-winning hit reality show Welcome to Wrexham, fronted by owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney – and with celebrities including BAFTA-winning broadcaster and author Dr Chris van Tulleken singing his praises, Andrew is proud of how he hilariously captured the global mania surrounding the Cae Ras outfit.

Written in the first person, the best-selling story portrayed a fanatical, self-titled fan who woke from a 10-year coma in 2030 to find Wrexham AFC were under the stewardship of two A-list superstars.


Featuring a host of well-known local characters, former players, and world-famous actors - Hugh Jackman was chairman of arch-rivals FC Romans of Chester – the book caught the imagination and saw readers clamour for more.

"Well, you have to give the people what they want!" laughed Andrew, who has supported the club for 45 years and represented them legally on a voluntary basis, pre-takeover and when the acquisition took place in 2021.


"In this edition – and there are already plans for a third instalment – our protagonist is still getting to grips with the huge political, social and technological changes that took place while he was in a coma, and the fact Wrexham AFC are now in the Premier League and a massive international brand.


"He's now mixing in celebrity circles, but all is not good, there has been a pandemic, corruption, wars, environmental disasters and even an alien invasion which sees him collaborate with ALF (Alien Life Form), star of the 1980s sitcom, and an array of other well-known characters.”



*Wrexham players (*above) were eager to read Andrew's first football novel.


He added: "Anyone who liked the first book will love the second as things become even crazier; Gordon Ramsay is now head chef at The Turf, Wrexham is a metropolis with a skyscraper skyline, Elon Musk, Donald Trump and a host of famous people frequent the nightlife, and everyone hates us because we are winning.


"As it unfolds, a villain looms large, after all, in super-hero scripts, there's always a bad guy - so here, there's people out there trying to derail the fairytale - things become even more bizarre, particularly when Madonna tries to buy Prestatyn Town FC and Trump and Musk also try to replicate our success with local teams.

"It's been so much fun to write, and I've already started the third novel as this one ends on a cliffhanger – I hope people enjoy it as they did the first, and come with me on this completely ridiculous, yet fun and entertaining, adventure!”

Report by Don Hale. donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2025   North Wales Road Runner Karl Morris battled against heavy rain, gales, and a severe lack of sleep, to record a tremendous performance in the tough ultra ‘Ring of Fire’ race around the Anglesey Coastal Path last weekend. This is one of the most gruelling challenges in the country, and for this experienced endurance athlete, his demanding journey began at Holyhead’s Breakwater Park, and followed a continuous loop covering some 131 miles, and just over 11k elevation along the island’s picturesque coastal pathway. Karl’s determination to complete the course was evident by his overall race stats, with his family and friends able to watch and admire his progress online. He eventually finished well in 47th place out of 112 starters – and in an incredib...

Important introduction by Don Hale: 5/9/2025.  donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2025 *My thanks to my running colleague Martin Green who has alerted me to an extraordinary decision made by Wrexham County Council Borough Council, to try to cancel running events on Wrexham Industrial Estate,  and  in the Isycoed area, which will affect many events including the famous Helena Tipping 10k race , which helps to raise tens of thousands of pounds for worthwhile charities.

 *Pictured above - many members of the NWRRC team at the Caernarfon half marathon last Sunday. Wet and windy at Caernarfon for the half marathon championships... Report by Don Hale. donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2025   There was a good entry of more than six hundred elite, club and social runners at the Caernarfon half marathon last Sunday, which was staged in unusually wet and windy weather but saw the top male and female athletes retain their titles.

*Martin Green (*above far right) leads the pack at the Penrhyn Castle parkrun. Parkrunners beat the wind and rain to record some great PB times...NW results round-up... Report by Don Hale. Photos by Michael Finnie. donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2025   Heavy rain and wind played a key role at most of the NW parkruns last Saturday with many courses reporting flooding and sections of heavy going, yet they still attracted numerous club and mixed ability entrants from far afield. With the  Newborough Forest parkrun  cancelled, this probably swelled the numbers at both the nearby  Penrhyn Castle and Nant Y Pandy  events, with numerous debutants recording some excellent PB times despite the challenging conditions *Penrhyn:  (*pictured right - John Hatton and fellow volunteers at Penrhyn).  There was a very good turn-out of some 243 entrants at the  Penrhyn Castle parkrun  with  Adam Jones  the first man home in 16.29, and  Rhodri Owen ...

*Flashback to a previous start at Penrhyn Castle parkrun Plenty of newcomers and good times despite wet and windy parkruns...round up of NW results. Report by Don Hale. donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2025   Despite a sudden change in the weather including some blustery winds and intermittent showers, it still failed to deter plenty of newcomers to various North Wales parkruns, where once again many excellent times and PBs were recorded. The ladies though took most of the plaudits around the region last Saturday morning with plenty of fast finishers, and at both  Nant y Pandy , and at  Llangollen , visiting female athletes dominated the top three positions.  Visitor  Sarah Evans  was the first female finisher at Penrhyn Castle, and there was an interesting battle for second and third places at Nova, Prestatyn, where partners and Eryri Harriers clubmates,  Nic Brook  and  Gemma Moore  raced nip and tuck, with Nick eventually finishing second ove...

*Pictured on the podium (l-r): Simon Allen, Steve Gardner, and Phil York Welsh Master Steve Gardner struck gold at the British championships in Derby... Report by Don Hale. donhaleblog.blogspot.com/2025   Welsh Master Steve Gardner claimed a prestigious gold medal last weekend in the 2000m steeplechase race during the British Masters Track and Field Championships held at the Moorways Stadium, near Derby. Despite his varied successes on the track, bizarrely, this was the first time he has ever won a gold medal in the British Championships, and this latest impressive result is likely to have smashed another Welsh record! After his event, a delighted Steve confirmed:  “ I competed in the 2000m steeplechase, winning a gold medal with a time of 7.37.24, with  Phil York  second and  Simon Allen  third. “Whilst I have had some good results previously in  Welsh Championships , this is the first time that I have won a gold medal in a British Championship.” Stev...
