Wrexham Association Football Club is a professional side based in Wrexham, Wales and currently competes in the EFL Championship. Founded on 1 January 1864, the club is the oldest in Wales and one of the world’s earliest professional teams. This page on Walkouts collects signed football shirts and framed items tied to that long history, emphasising provenance and clear signature provenance for fans and buyers.
The modern era of the club has global interest following investment by Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds and the Welcome to Wrexham series, which broadened awareness beyond local supporters. The team features in continental records and is recognised in external rankings, including an IFFHS position of 501, reflecting its renewed profile on and off the field.
Home matches remain rooted at the Racecourse Ground, a stadium steeped in history and noted as the world’s oldest international ground still staging international fixtures. Domestically Wrexham have a distinguished cup record, most notably a record 23 Welsh Cups, along with success in the Football League Trophy and the FA Trophy, honours that drive demand for commemorative and winners’ shirts.
On the continental front the club has memorable nights in European competition, including a notable European Cup Winners' Cup quarter-final run and historic results against the likes of FC Porto and Anderlecht, details that make Cup Winners' Cup era shirts highly sought after by collectors and historians alike.
Collectors prize both match-worn and retail issue shirts, and there is clear demand for signed retail items from club shops. Fans often seek early-run home shirts, limited player-issue variants and region-specific releases; these retail-signed shirts are distinct from match-worn pieces and form a sizable portion of the market. Free worldwide shipping is offered on selected framed and signed retail pieces, and provenance notes, photos and purchase records are used to support authenticity.
Anniversary releases and modern title campaigns provide particular magnets for collectors. The club’s recent milestone, the 160th anniversary 2024, saw commemorative details that appear on special edition shirts, while the 2022-23 National League title season, delivered with a record points total, produced match and winners’ shirts that remain highly collectible for their context and limited runs.
Collectors should watch for iconic away designs and verifiable signature proof when assessing items, for example the 1975-76 yellow away Cup Winners' Cup shirt and associated match photography, and ensure items are supported by exact photo proof. Final listings reference concrete seasons and fixtures, such as the 1975-76 European nights and the 2022-23 National League campaign, and Walkouts will list provenance details and visible evidence for signed Wrexham shirts when available.
