“There’s only Ryan Reynolds,” was the chant heard around the Racecourse Ground, as Wrexham stopped Stockport County’s 21-game run of unbeaten runs to make it to the FA Trophy final at Wembley.
Red Dragons will return to England’s national stadium for the first-time since their 2015 loss to North Ferriby United. Fans were very grateful to Reynolds, a Hollywood actor.
He was there to see his first victory in person after taking control of the club.

After Rob McElhenney and Reynolds took control of the Welsh football club in February 2021, Mullin became the first notable signing.
After making bold decisions to quit League One Cambridge in March, the striker now has 19 goals from 29 matches.
Since the takeover, it has been a thrilling ride. The Trophy final and third place in the National League are just the tip of the iceberg.
Paul Mullin (pictured), has now scored 19 goals in his 29 matches with the Red Dragons since joining them.
Phil Parkinson, Wrexham’s manager said after the match: “There was some edginess during the first half as well as uncharacteristic mistakes from both teams. But there was still a lot at stake.
“But, I felt we grew into this game and had a few really great chances to take control of the game. But they didn’t.”
Mulls, on the pitch, always believes that you are going to score a goal.
Ryan Reynolds, too, took to Twitter with the following: “Seeing it in person was an amazing life experience for me. Wrexham, thank you.
Wrexham is now looking for silverware at Wembley to continue their quest to be promoted back to the Football League.
Since 2008, the Red Dragons have not been in the Football League. They have come close but have failed many times. But they hope this season will be better.
On Tuesday, they will host Barnet in National League action.
