WALES boss John Toshack hopes crisis-hit Wrexham can be reborn - just like his old club Swansea.
The former Real Madrid manager believes that now the Dragons have won an appeal against owner Alex Hamilton - which returned control of the Racecourse Ground to the club - they can emulate the success of the Swans, currently riding high in League One.
Toshack insists that if the South Wales side can rebuild after a turbulent period when they nearly went bust - so can Wrexham.
He said: "Wrexham has a great history and everyone at the FA of Wales is keeping their fingers crossed that the problems facing the club are resolved soon.
"Wrexham fans have always been great and they deserve to see a secure future for the club.
"Fortunes can change very quickly, as Swansea has shown in recent years. Let's hope Wrexham can do the same."
But the Wales coach revealed he has a more personal reason for wanting to see the club prosper.
The Racecourse was where Toshack scored his first ever international goal and he added: "I can remember the goal clearly - a right-foot volley in a home international in 1969. So the Racecourse holds fantastic memories for me."
On April 2 Toshack returns to the ground to unveil a plaque to commemorate what is believed to be the oldest surviving film of an international match.
Black and white footage of Wales v Ireland - filmed at the Racecourse a century a go - is being honoured as part of the North Wales Film and Television Trail created by the Wales Screen Commission.
