Le Tissier hails ‘impeccably observed’ Gresford tribute at Wrexham game

Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier commended both Wrexham and Southampton supporters for their behavior during a pre-match minute's silence on Saturday. Held at The Racecourse ahead of Wrexham's 2-1 victory over Southampton, the tribute commemorated the 92nd anniversary of the 1934 Gresford Colliery disaster. Le Tissier described the silence on social media as the most impeccably observed he had ever witnessed.

The Gresford Colliery disaster claimed the lives of 266 men and boys following an underground explosion and fire on September 22, 1934. Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson emphasized the significance of honoring the victims, noting the deep historical connection between the local mining tragedy and the football club.
