£400k down the pan - but Dragons welcome a World Cup star

WREXHAM fans might be shocked to learn that last season's unsuccessful battle against relegation cost the club more than £400,000.
As revealed in the Daily Post's sports pages on Monday, that's the figure spent by the Dragons to try and stay in the Football League after Brian Little was brought in as manager 12 months ago.
Also in Monday's paper, former Cameroon World Cup star Patrick Suffo has been offered a "pay as you play" deal by Little's successor Dean Saunders, and the striker could come into contention for Saturday's Blue Square Premier match at Weymouth.
That got us thinking in the office about World Cup stars who've played for Wrexham. So far we've got Trinidad & Tobago stars Carlos Edwards and Dennis Lawrence, and one you might not have heard about in Ron Hewitt, who played for Wales in the 1958 World Cup, and scored 111 goals for the Dragons.
If anybody can think of any more we'd be glad to bow down to your superior knowledge! Although a Wrexham World Cup XI, we think, might be a bridge too far.
Also in Monday's Daily Post, we've got rugby writer Rob Griffiths' analysis of Wales' brave defeat to World Champions South Africa at the Millennium Stadium, plus all the reaction to Joe Calzaghe's victory over Roy Jones Jr - will it really be the phenomenal boxer's last-ever fight?
And of course, there's all the football action from the weekend as Liverpool kept pace with Premier League leaders Chelsea, Everton recorded a third straight victory and champions Manchester United were beaten at Arsenal.
