Goals have meant glory in recent years when it has come to Wrexham's player of the season award. Not only did Paul Mullin finish as top scorer for the upwardly-mobile Welsh club in each of the three campaigns before this one, but he also made history by picking up an unprecedented hat-trick of player of the season trophies, too.

But it was a double return with another former Cambridge manager, Mark Bonner, coming back as director of football. The phrase "unfinished business" got more than a few airings around the pair's unveiling.

At the end of a week when the true impact of Hollywood coming to Wrexham was laid bare by a balance sheet containing almost as many new records as music store HMV, it felt appropriate that the Welsh club should make the long trip to Exeter City.
