Darren Wrack is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on May 5, 1976 in Cleethorpes, England, United Kingdom. Darren Wrack (born 5 May 1976) is an English professional footballer, who played as midfielder. His goals totalled 55 over 509 appearances in cup and league matches over a 17-year span playing in both the English Football League and Conference.

Wrack had been accepted in the hands of Walsall manager Ray Graydon on a free transfer in July 1998. He was named to the PFA Team of the Year after they “Saddlers” secured promotion out of the Second Division in the 1998-99 season, after finishing second behind the leaders who were running away Fulham. He played in 50 games during the 1999-2000 season , but Walsall were immediately dropped back to the Second Division. Walsall made it to the top division through play-offs in the final stages of the 2000-01 season, however, Wrack did not make the matchday team for the play-off’s final win over Reading. He signed a year contract with the club in July. The forward scored seven goals in 50 games during the 2002-03 season. the manager Colin Lee praised Wrack’s versatility and willingness to play in a different his position. He signed a 2-year contract in June 2003. He was restricted to 29 games in the 2003-04 season because of injuries, in the 2003-04 season as Walsall were relegated.

Wrack lost over £500,000 due to a gambling addiction and in June 2008 received treatment at the Sporting Chance Clinic in Hampshire after becoming suicidal. He said that “I was living in a dream world. It’s a sad fact that gambling took everything from me.” He married Lisa and the couple had a daughter, Macey, born in 2009.

Wrack joined Mark Cooper’s Kettering Town in July 2008. He made 41 appearances across the 2008–09 campaign. The “Poppies” reached the Second Round of the FA Cup in the 2009–10 season, and took Leeds United to a replay at Elland Road. He was given a one-year contract extension by manager Lee Harper in May 2010. However Wrack left Rockingham Road in September 2010 and joined Conference North side Stafford Rangers. He was sent off in manager Tim Flowers’s first game in charge and the resulting three-game suspension and a series of call- offs due to the weather limited his appearances at Marston Road. He announced his retirement from the game in January 2011.

Wrack returned to Cleethorpes and joined his hometown team Grimsby Town in July 1996 for a sum of PS100,000. He was given the “Mariners” debut by player- manager Brian Laws on 17 August 1996, when he was brought on in the 78th minute to replace Neil Woods in Town’s 3-1 home loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Grimsby were knocked out of into the First Division at the end of the 1996-97 campaign, with Wrack having played 11 times, scoring one time in a 1-1 draw away with Reading. In the same season Wrack also took a month off to Shrewsbury Town, featuring in five games for Fred Davies’s “Shrews”. The 1997-98 season was a tough one for Wrack. as the club is now under the management under the direction of Alan Buckley, Wrack failed to make an impact on the first team, with players such as Kevin Donovan, Tommy Widdrington and Paul Groves favoured over Wrack. Wrack was only a part of two games in the team of Grimsby under Buckley during the season, including a Football League Trophy victory over Hull City and a league defeat against Northampton Town. Grimsby was promoted into the First Division via the play-offs and also took home the Football League Trophy in a Wembley double, but Wrack was not a part of neither of the games. In 2005, Wrack declared that he thought that he had been “never given the chance to shine” at Blundell Park.
