Wrexham has become one of the global clubs after their American takeover. But Ryan and Rob have always made sure to keep their community close. They have made countless donations to the food bank. A star player Jordan Davies lost their newborn baby. After the incident, they wanted to create a fund to reduce such deaths and support those affected. He and his partner had a goal of 1,500 pounds. However, the owners and their partners made a donation of 10,000 pounds. In another latest instance, one of their star players expressed his admiration for Ryan Reynolds for a crucial advice he gave him, which saved the life of his wife.
In an early episode of the Wrexham documentary, Anthony Forde spoke about his wife suffering from a brain tumor midway through last season. Speaking on help from Ryan, he said, “It just didn’t feel like it was real. The gaffer told the owners about the news and they reached out. Ryan helped get a second opinion. It’s something that he doesn’t have to do, he doesn’t have to do that.’ In the end, the second opinion worked and Forde’s wife Laura received the news that the tumor was treatable rather than inoperable as told by the initial diagnosis.
So, it looks like the second opinion helped the treatment of Anthony Forde’s wife. In the end, the beautiful gesture from Ryan Reynolds also benefitted the team on the field. Anthony Forde scored an important goal against Yeovil Town last season after the brain tumor incident happened. This clearly shows that players will excel if they are given a positive atmosphere for their development. This is also what is happening at the moment in League Two for Wrexham.

They are also the fourth-highest goal scorers (32) in the League. However, the goals conceded remain a point of concern. They have conceded 27 goals in the League. This could affect their goal difference at the end of the season in the promotion race. But, as long as strikers keep on scoring goals and winning matches, the goal difference does not matter.
