Career Highlights

Michael “Scoot” Hett has supported Wrexham AFC for well over 40 years. He was a regular on the “Kop” as a schoolboy during the highs of the 1970s and 1980s, as Wrexham enjoyed the most successful spell in their history, climbing into the top half of Division 2.On leaving school, Hett began work as a coal miner at Bersham Colliery on the outskirts of Wrexham, until its closure in 1987. He took part in the year-long Miners dispute of 1984/85, remaining on strike until the bitter end. Following the closure of Wrexham’s last deep coal mine in February 1987, Hett began work at Silverdale Colliery in Staffordshire, before moving on to Dew Mill near Coventry. He left the coal mining industry in 1991.Hett has previously worked as a football coach at Wrexham Football in the Community, where he completed the B License Programme. Following this, he worked with Adult Education, delivering programmes and internally verifying vocational qualifications within sport and recreation. He also previously had a successful career as a speaker on the “after dinner” circuit, reciting “Alternative Poetic Humor” and has appeared alongside some of the biggest names in British sport.Hett has continued to support Wrexham AFC to this day, enjoying a couple of promotions and FA Cup runs, as well as successes on the European stage. There has also been the fair share of disappointments along the way, none more so than losing to Hereford at Edgar Street in April 2008. The result ensured that Wrexham AFC would be playing in the 5th tier of English Football for the first time in their history.In 1999, Hett combined his poetry with the musical talents of some friends, forming a band called The Declan Swans. Hett is the lead singer of the group which gained some notoriety in recent years after their track "It's Always Sunny in Wrexham" was played around the town, Racecourse Ground and featured on FX's Welcome to Wrexham.
