Ryan Reynolds has been praised for his dignified response after Wrexham's defeat in the 2022 FA Trophy final. The Hollywood actor, who co-owns the Welsh club with Rob McElhenney, stayed behind at Wembley to personally congratulate the winning Bromley side.
Bromley CEO Mark Hammond recalled how Reynolds shook hands with him and the club's owner 15 minutes after the match, spending time talking despite the disappointment. 'He could have gone home, but he took the time to come down and shake our hand and wish us all the best,' Hammond said, describing the moment as 'class'.
The 1-0 loss to Bromley was part of a difficult first full season under the new ownership, with Wrexham also missing out on promotion to League Two after a play-off semi-final defeat to Grimsby. However, the club bounced back to win the National League title the following season and secured back-to-back promotions to the Championship.
Wrexham currently sit 15th in the Championship after four matches, having recorded their first league win at Millwall before the international break. The team, strengthened by 13 new signings over the summer, face Queens Park Rangers at home this Saturday.
