He said: “If they want to put me in the documentary, go ahead.”
Meanwhile, the striker has now departed ways with his boyhood club and joined MLS giants LA Galaxy.

Sharp continued: “I think people in Los Angeles probably know me now for scoring goals rather than knocking Wrexham out of the FA Cup.
“People don’t even know the real story. Wrexham will put out what they want to on their documentary, and maybe I’ll put out my own and tell them what really happened.”
In last nights game against Minnesota United Sharp was the golden boy after scoring his first ever hat-trick for the American side – leading the team to a 4-3 victory.
