Rob McElhenney explains how Wrexham stress caused doctor's visit

Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney has revealed he developed double styes in both eyes which were caused by the stress of the National League promotion battle with Notts County.

The Red Dragons and Notts finished on record points tallies of 111 and 107 respectively as Phil Parkinson's men secured promotion back to the Football League. Easter Monday's clash between the two promotion hopefuls was the turning point in the race for League Two as former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster saved a last minute Cedwyn Scott penalty to secure a 3-2 victory for the North Wales club.

Less than two weeks later, Wrexham secured the title thanks to a 3-1 victory over Boreham Wood. While the title race was thrilling for the neutral, McElhenney revealed it had an adverse effect on his health.
