IF YOU'VE spent time standing on the Racecourse Kop down the years, then you're sure to remember one very familiar face and voice in particular.

Ian ‘Jacko’ Roberts was the main singer in the Kop for many years and later the Glyndwr University Stand.

It has now been five years since he sadly died aged 55 after a long battle with cancer.

Jacko was a passionate Reds fan known among supporters for his voice and enthusiasm on the terraces.

With the Kop now set to be demolished and re-developed it got us thinking of what Jacko would have made of the plans - and it seems we weren't alone in thinking that.

The plans, which were given the green light by Wrexham Council's planning committee last month, will see the Kop end re-developed and take the Racecourse's capacity from 10,000 to 15,500.

It is also hoped that can help attract international football back to the iconic north Wales ground.

As with many others down the years, Jacko would have witnessed countless a great memory from the Kop end.

That's why it was no surprise to see some of our readers mention his name when we asked about their memories this week of being on the Kop.

Carl Langer said: "Jacko standing on the barriers getting everyone to sing. Should be named after him, the Kop."

He added: "Jacko WAS Wrexham back in the day."

Andy Walters remembered 'Left side left side give us a song' being sung to 'Jacko and his little army'.

Mike Buck recalled 'hearing Jacko start the songs' in the Kop while John Parkinson paid tribute to 'Jacko's distinctive voice with the Kop Choir'.

Still very clearly sadly missed by Reds fans.
