Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham create history with promotion to English second division, just one league below the Premier League.Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds has said it felt like an “impossible dream” when fellow Hollywood A-lister Rob McElhenney first floated the idea of buying football club Wrexham, along with a pitch for a documentary. The ultimate goal was to reach the Premier League.
Four years after they bought the North Wales outfit, Wrexham are one league away from achieving their lofty goal after a 3-0 win over Charlton Athletic on Saturday that saw them promoted for a record third consecutive time.
“It just seemed like an impossible dream, and we do what we’re lucky to do … be storytellers,” Reynolds, best known for his role as superhero character Deadpool, told Sky Sports after the game. “And when you’re a storyteller, you look as much as you can at the sort of macro view of this history.
“We were standing there doing a press conference four years ago, and said our goal is to make it to the Premier League. And there was understandably a lot of titters and laughter and giggles, but it starts to feel like a real, tangible thing that could actually come to fruition in this moment.” Advertisement
