“It’s Actually Quite Mad” – Wrexham Star Says Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney Are ‘Literally Like One of the Players’

Wrexham AFC owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney deserve huge praise. Thanks to the courtesy of the owners, the club has finally achieved its long-awaited promotion. The whole town of Wrexham now seems to be backing the Hollywood owners, who have helped the Welsh side bag much-awaited silverware. Moreover, one of the Wrexham players revealed that even after such success, the owners are really down to earth.

After spending 15 years outside the pyramid, Wrexham finally stepped into the English Football League. The team will now start their preparations for the tribulations of League Two.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are ‘one of the players’!

Wrexham goalkeeper Kai James Calderbank-Park has revealed the soft side of Reynolds and McElhenney. In a recent podcast with Fox Football, he said, “They’re literally like one of the players. It’s actually quite mad. A lot of people don’t realize and a lot of clubs don’t do it, but they’re literally like one of the boys. It’s weird. It doesn’t seem real.”

The keeper was surprised to see such popular figures being humble. “We were walking around the pitch with them, hugging them, and getting selfies with them. It’s quite mad, to be fair. You’re just chilling and relaxing and being best mates with these Hollywood superstars which is absolutely outrageous. But they’re just like one of us.”

The 22-year-old reckoned that rather than being owners, they were just like the Wrexham players. Calderbank-Park also talked about the wild celebrations following the promotion. He wasn’t part of the squad that faced Boreham Wood. However, the keeper did join the celebrations.

After clinching promotion, the Red Dragons are eyeing multiple promotions in a short span in order to reach the Premier League. The journey, however, may be quite long, but in the meantime, they’ll be looking to become a stronger side.

Moreover, before kicking off the new season, they will be playing an empathic friendly tie against Manchester United and Chelsea. Phil Parkinson’s side will be flying to the US for their pre-season friendly tour. It is going to be a couple of exciting fixtures.
