Ryan Reynolds has always been present for most of his soccer club’s major games. However, he couldn’t be in attendance for their recent league game against Southend United. The Welsh soccer club ended up winning that game 1-0. But the soccer universe witnessed a heartwarming moment prior to the game.
I promise you, if Rob and I were there right now, Rob would be shoveling.

Ryan Reynolds’ unimaginable promise to every Wrexham AFC fan!
Earlier this year, Ryan Reynolds made an unbelievable promise to all the Wrexham AFC fans. At that time, the Welsh soccer club was having a dream run in the English FA Cup. Amidst the excitement, he told ESPN, “We say this all the time, but we want to be in the Premier League, as crazy as that sounds to some people. If it is theoretically possible to go from the fifth tier in professional football all the way to the Premier League, why wouldn’t we do that?”.

Reynolds continued, “Why wouldn’t we use our last drop of blood to get there?”. He claimed that he is on board for a multi-decade project at the club. He also admitted that he never had a passion like this for any sport ever. The fans initially thought that he was just bluffing at that moment. But his words could be on their way to coming true if Wrexham AFC wins the Vanarama National League. With less than ten games left, Reynolds’ club currently leads the points table with an extra game in hand, along with a one-point lead.
