Wrexham FC burger van owner loses keys 'over-celebrating' historic win so can't open to customers

It has been an amazing weekend for anyone who supports Wrexham as the community celebrates the football club's promotion to League Two - however, there is some bad news. Wayne, owner of Turf Butty Van which stands outside the Wrexham stadium, lost the keys to the burger van, due to "over-celebrating", meaning hungry passers by were unable to get their burgers.

Turf Butty Van is normally open every day other than Christmas Day however owner Wayne appeared on ITV1's Lorraine on Monday, April 24 when he admitted he had lost the keys to the van while celebrating the success of the club.

He said: "I have no idea where they are, I'm going to spend the day trying to find them, but yeah we've over-celebrated." Speaking about Wrexham he said: "It's not about me, it's about the town, it's about the people and I'm so happy for them because we've been through hard times and they deserve this".
