Albert Kinsey

THE sight of ALBERT KINSEY receiving his Hall of Fame certificate at The Racecourse in 2002 will have been a welcome reminder to supporters who recalled his contribution to the club. 
He was a cult hero in that era and made a huge contribution as the foundations for the success of the 1970s were being laid. 

Albert was a powerful centre forward with an eye for the spectacular, and his charismatic leading of the line endeared him to team-mates and terrified opponents alike. 

His zenith came in the 1969-70 season, when he finished top scorer in the Fourth Division as Wrexham were promoted. Furthermore, 12 goals in the last sixteen games gave the side the impetus required to force their way into the Third Division. 

The step up in class did not diminish his threat in the penalty area either, as he notched 17 goals in 32 games in the following campaign, and the season after that he scored in both legs of the Welsh Cup Final, including the winning goal to overcome Cardiff. 

This salvo earned Wrexham their first tilt at the European Cup Winners Cup, and who scored the Robins' first goal in Europe? Silly question really! 

Albert now lives in Australia, but his heroics for the club, with only six men having scored more goals in its history, ensure that he will never be forgotten in this corner of the Northern Hemisphere!
