Wrexham's promotion to League One is among the top 50 sporting moments British people wish they'd seen.

Researchers asked 2,000 people which events they wish they had witnessed in the flesh, with the Reds promotion to the third tier of English football coming in the top 50.

Wrexham's achievement came 45th in the list altogether, beating Tiger Woods winning the 2019 Masters and Japan beating South Africa at the 2015 Rugby World Cup.

With 21 per cent of the votes, Bobby Moore's men beating Germany 4-2 at Wembley was top of the list. 

Second place went to Andy Murray winning his first Wimbledon title in 2013, followed by Torvil and Dean’s 1984 Winter Olympics Gold with the Bolero.

The study revealed 57 per cent said you can’t beat the feeling of watching sport in action, with 74 per cent admitting there is at least one iconic moment they wish they had witnessed in person.

Muhammed Ali’s ‘Rumble in the Jungle’, the Ashes victory in 2005 and the game which clinched Leicester City’s Premier League title also featured among the top 50.

The study was commissioned by Kellogg’s, which, as part of its newly launched Football Camps programme, gave 30 children from Oxford and Bolton an experience to follow in the footsteps of their heroes at the showpiece EFL League One Play Off Final.

A spokesperson from the cereal brand, said: “It’s fitting that number one on the list of sporting moments that people wished they’d witnessed took place at Wembley, the scene of the EFL Play Off Finals over the next two weekends.

“The beautiful thing about sport is that incredible moments are always just one match away, no matter how old you are or what level you’re playing at.

“The feeling of live sport is one that absolutely can’t be beaten, and we’re thrilled to be able to provide this experience for young people this weekend.”
