Arthur and Mark give an insight behind the scenes at Wrexham, from 2 touch to goalie wars! Arthur shares his Arsenal journey with some never heard before stories, takes part in a new instalment of Goalie or No Goalie and gives a very special glove review on the brand new Adidas 98 Barthez Pro Goalkeeper Gloves which are inspired by the iconic glove that Barthez wore in the 1998 World Cup, but with a modernized look and updated tech, curtesy of Pro Direct!

The more you see from Mark on this pod and on Welcome to Wrexham, the more you like him.
Thanks mate 🧤
Love you marky poo @@yoursmineawaypodcast
Saw your episode in Welcome to Wrexham. A tremendous amount of respect for goal keepers. You are a class man. Best of Luck with everything and as usual this is a wonderful interview.
Much appreciated thank you mate 🙏
Okonkwo is an absolute machine, couple of the saves vs Crewe were ridiculous. Hope he stays (Soz Mark)
Glad you enjoyed the show mate ⚽️🧤
Baffles me how you can get the job taken away again after just 3 losses in 46 games! What, did you need to have 46 clean sheets?! Blows my mind but shows what a great teammate and top man you are, which is probably more important than anything. All the best to you both as you go for promotion.
Mark, loved watching you on W2W this am. Buzzed to watch your podcast too. We love you and your lovely family now and always.
Thank you! 🧤⚽️
Thought it was right to highlight, Arthur spent plenty of time with numerous young supporters last Saturday against Salford during his warm-ups 👏
Definitely making an effort with the fans.
Hope this season continues positively for him & yourself Mark.
He’s a top guy mate that’s great to hear 🧤hope you enjoyed the show!
Great episode! Love you Chomp and great to learn more about Arthur. We're in good hands with you two!
Thank you 🙏🧤
Arthur is human valium, love him 💚
Been waiting for this episode! 🎉
Thanks for supporting the show pal 🙏
Another top episode. Arthur is so chilled. Any chance you can get Harry Lewis in from Bradford in for a chat - 👍⚽️🧤You could ask him this weekend 🙂
Nice one thanks mate, watch this space haha
Just wanted to say I walked out with you when I was a mascot for sheff United ❤️
Yet another example of how to do a podcast. Quality again mate. 💪
Much appreciated! Will get you on soon 🧤
Excellent episode! Thanks for taking the time to chat to my wife and I after todays game!
Great episode Mark!!! So nice to get to know a little bit about Arthur. Thanks!
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the show 🧤
These podcast make my commute to work bearable
Nice one Chomp! This guy's persona reminds me of myself, I bet he's experienced what I have where people think because I'm so chilled out that I don't care about things as much as other people or haven't got that competitive edge you need to win. I wish him all the best in his career. See you both at the Racecourse. Just seen that he's got the same birthday as me too, gone up even higher in my estimation!
Same birthday, mad that! Glad you enjoyed the show mate 🧤
Arthur, you are a truly nice person, Wrexham are lucky to have you in the squad. Yma o hyd.
👏👏
Arthur was good in Graz, now we would need him after Scherben is out for the Rest of the Season, knowing the Players and the Team, but glad he get so much Playtime at Wrexham 👍🏻
Random picture of Devonte Redmond when talking about James Jones at 9:22
Love the podcast listened to this one twice now commenting for the gloves keep it up mark and Arthur
You are going to be a great role model for Arthur.
Good one Chomp! Much love to our Keeper Squad ❤⚽️🧤
Never knew about all the technical aspects of gloves....and I thought you had the same pair more or less all season, lol! Interesting with Arthur's ritual of a new pair every game. If I played a blinder in a game and made umpteen worldies, I'd want to keep em for the next game too...surely they're not _that_ flimsy 🤷♂
You’d be surprised when it comes to gloves 🤣🧤
Arthur, Gunner for Life ❤
Great episode Mark ❤ Up the Worldwide Reds! 🏴🇺🇸🇨🇦
🧤🧤
Great episode! You both are fantastic. Loved hearing how you both got started, Arsenal memories, and current stories from Wrexham. Loved what GK Union means, at the end.
Enjoyable podcast- a view into the world of goalkeeping! Interesting!!
Thanks for listening 🧤
Can from insta but loved the video always liked okonkwo since Arsenal
I love everything about this and Wrexham❤❤❤❤❤❤
Everyone does 🧤
I loved the David Raya episode. Ben Foster and this guy learn a lot from you too.
Love to hear it mate, thank you 🙏
Love the Phillie Eagles' gloves
🧤🧤
This is gonna get lots of hits and subscribes after Welcome to Wrexham's latest episode.
Loved this ep. Thank you both 😊
Thank you 🙏 glad you enjoyed the show!
He's only a kid but he's really a king!
You need to pepper in some NHL goalies as a bonus round. There are some amazing names! Jim Carey etc.
greetings from turkey ❤
Thanks for tuning in mate 💙🧤⚽️
Who snuck Devonte Redman into this?! Hahaha
Slight editing error 🤦♂️
I like the way you covered the goal scorers, shame they’re not delivering to their full potential at the moment, close but just not hitting the net, it’ll come.
sturm graz mentioned 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍
💪💪
take good care of king arthur 🫶
What’s the story behind the young kids getting booted out of the changing room???
Chomp you are pure class. Also, what do you use to get the goalie gloves to stand up? I want to display some of my daughter’s gloves.
Drinks cans. 🤣🤣
Class episode again but think your editor needs to check the pictures he uploads. JJ is James Jones not Denvonte Redmond. 😬
Wrexham HAVE to sign him!!!
What do you mean by quick rise ? Towards the end of the pod when talking about training week
Arthur 100% Okonkwo
Try to bring the modern day goalkeeper on the podcast
W Wrexham
Ok, why were the six younger players separated in the dressing room?
Arthur Okonkwo choose to play for Nigeria 🇳🇬 Eagles your career would go far with international Exposure and I'm sure you'll definitely be the No1 keeper easily AFCON and possibly a world cup appearance beckons,Think about this.
Big man just going no goalie on every answer, even after he had 5 right 😂
🤣🤣🤣
So, we had injured number one keeper, then we brought in Foster who took first choice, then he left and we got Arthur as first choice.
now, not saying anything bad about him, I think he's great, and his young if we can keep him after loan as a permanent transfer that would be awesome, but on the other end, you (Haward) are also a great keeper, and I don't see why don't we see you more on the pitch, maybe at least one of you cover league matches and the other cover cup matches, but why do you think you keep staying as second choice instead of coming up for first choice?
in my opinion from what I seen you play, you are a great keeper on your own. yes you in your twilite years career wise, have no clue if you going to stay after this season, but wouldn't you want to at least have some good play time before you are done?
Thanks for your message. I absolutely love playing week in week out but sometimes especially as a gk that is not always possible. Only one of us can play. As a senior goalie I understand this more than most so my job when not in the team is to support whoever is playing and the team.
Hope you transition straight into goalie coaching for the team. You seem a natural and they obviously love you
@@samantharose21117 I second that.
Do you think Arthur would want to stay after this season? Does he have much say in it or does Arsenal get to decide?
Okongoat
Surely he has better than a 60cm vertical?
On loan from Arsenal? I thought he was a bit good.
Music way too loud. Ruined the video.
Thanks for the feedback
Typical mark. Get the guy who has taken your spot on your podcast to get back at him a bit 😂😂😂😂. Love it though.
