Humphrey Ker has now opened up on what it is like working with Wrexham AFC.
The club chief had a pretty important role in the Red Dragons’ fairytale story getting underway.
Rob Mac was inspired to buy a football club after watching Sunderland’s Netflix documentary, ‘Sunderland Till I Die’.
He found out about the show when he saw Humphrey Ker, a lifelong football fan, watching it.
Ker and Mac then set about trying to find the right football club to buy before eventually settling on Wrexham.
Now, the club chief has been discussing what it is like to work with the Red Dragons.
Does Humphrey Ker still work for Wrexham
During the early days of the takeover, Ker was heavily involved in the running of the football club.
He remains a key figure at Wrexham, but his role has changed in the last year.
Ker went from Executive Director to Community Director in January 2025 after Kaleen Allyn stepped in to take his old role.
Now, in an interview with Chris Moyles, as per the Leader, Ker has opened up on what working with Wrexham is like.
He said: “No, but it’s a bit like winning the lottery really. I mean, I put all my eggs into one basket, which was working as a writer and an actor and what anyone would pay me to do in sort of showbusiness.
“And then, yeah, very unexpectedly, out of the blue, I suddenly got this opportunity to come and work in an industry that I’ve loved as a fan my whole life, always been a massive football fan. And yeah, so I can’t believe my luck, really. It’s very strange!”

Humphrey Ker appreciation of Wrexham players
Since becoming involved in football, Ker now has a new appreciation of players.
He explained: “You know, you would fall into that trap of like, ‘Oh, they’re so lucky. They get paid to play football. They should be happy all the time. They should perform absolutely the top of their ability every single time they play.’
“The reality is, they’re human beings, and in the same way that we all have crap days, they all have bad days, and that might affect their performance at work, or they’ll have days when they’re on top of the world, and everything they touch turns to gold.
“And you know, I think as fans, we so often don’t sort of recognise that they have challenges the same way that we do.”
Wrexham have endured a difficult start to the 2025/26 season following their promotion to the Championship.
They sit 21st in the division ahead of their clash with Norwich City after winning one in five.
