Wrexham fans have lavished one player with praise during their opening-weekend clash with Southampton.
Phil Parkinson shocked fans prior to kick-off with his team selection.
Danny Ward started in goal, while James McClean and Ryan Longman were both benched.
However, Wrexham started on the front foot and took the lead, scoring their first second-tier goal in 43 years.
Kieffer Moore was fouled by defender Ronnie Edwards after bursting into the Saints’ box, and a penalty was awarded.
New signing Josh Windass stepped up from 12 yards to convert in the 22nd minute.

“Windass bagging for Wrexham, Gassama smashing it for Rangers, #swfc fans must feel sick,” stated another.

Josh Windass could be Wrexham’s best signing
Wrexham gave Windass Paul Mullin’s shirt number for the game against Southampton.
He had big shoes to fill given the latter’s importance to the Dragons, but he was superb on his debut.
The fact that Wrexham were able to sign Windass for free makes it even more impressive, and while we have only seen one game so far, he could well prove to be their best signing this year.
