When they touched down in the States, Wrexham players were stunned to find they were headline acts on billboards – now they have to back up their fame on the pitch
Flashbulbs at Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground were once confined to the speed camera outside on the Mold Road until Ryan Reynolds sprinkled his stardust on a club going nowhere.
As the Red Dragons regain Football League orbit after a 15-year absence, they can reach for the stars on Hollywood Boulevard’s celebrity Walk of Fame where the Deadpool actor has left his mark on an incomparable constellation.
And if Reynolds wants to be even more popular at Wrexham â as if that were possible – another promotion would go down well. Or if he wants to make another big impression, his captain Luke Young can offer a stellar ‘cast’ like the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles where the showbiz cement imprints include Marilyn Monroe’s earring and Harry Potter’s wand.
Young’s wife, Chloe, runs a business specialising in imprints and casts similar to the famous Hollywood movie palace’s collection. Let’s give Reynolds and co-owner Rob McElhenney a big hand? No problem â Mrs Young’s Babyprints firm can take care of the replicas.
