Anyhow, tell us a bit more of how you discovered Notts to the extent you wanted to make a video? Was it Rodrigues (nice to hear how it should be pronounced), the Wrexham story, family connections? Seems strange that a fifth tier team should grap the attention of a proud footballing national living in a "soccer" country.
The PK’s bit along with the Juventus connection were some of the bits I left behind, just on the sole basis that I wasn’t being able to connect them in a way I feel would smoothly gone in with the rest of the video. But from a researching standpoint, it was fascinating stuff.

So for me, it was a combination of a few things. As someone who’s played Football Manager since getting introduced to it with the 2021 edition, I had some familiarity with the NL. Welcome to Wrexham was definitely another factor as I’d been following their results initially but definitely noticed Notts (and Langstaff’s insane goal scoring season) during the process. The video itself is something I got motivated to do after watching the Wrexham/Notts match in full on a stream just on the basis that I know Wrexham’s story was going to get told in many facets but what about this other club who was also having a historic season in their own right?

That and along with doing FM content on my channel, I wanted to give video essays a shot so the timing worked out quite well. I’m just glad people seem to be enjoying it! Definitely planning on following the journey moving forward and very likely doing a FM24 save with Notts as well.
