The Wrexham co-chairman is often on hand to offer up a witty quip and he showed that he has taken the club’s sobering League Two opening day defeat with typical good grace
Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds appeared to take Wrexham’s opening day defeat in typically good humour and extended his thanks to Hugh Jackman after he lent his support.
The Red Dragons chairman was joined by his “Deadpool” co-star at the Racecourse Ground as they took in what was a historic day for the North Wales club. The Australian actor has made no secret of his love and admiration for the National League champions and posed for pictures with the team’s owners Reynolds and Rob McElhenney before the game.
Despite the moral support from the terraces Wrexham were on the receiving end of a 5-3 drubbing in a tricky opening-day clash versus MK Dons. Their opponents are among the favourites to achieve promotion from the fourth tier this term, having been relegated from League One last season.
In truth, the visitors always looked in the driving seat during what turned out to be a disappointing start to the campaign for the Dragons. They took a two-goal lead within ten minutes before Wrexham rallied to get one back before half time but this would be to little avail for the promoted team.
