It has been over two years since Ryan Reynolds became the proud owner of the Welsh soccer club Wrexham AFC, and in that time, the Deadpool star has completely changed the dynamic of the previously struggling club. Recently, Reynolds showed his support for Wrexham goalkeeper Mark Howard after a massive blunder cost his side two points.
The event came from Wrexham’s recent encounter in a National League match against Maidenhead United. With Wrexham leading 2-1 in the dying minutes of the game, Howard – who was filling in for first-choice keeper Rob Lainton, who had fallen ill – hesitated slightly.
