Ryan Reynolds' Underdogs Wrexham Almost Pulls Off Shock Win (Deadline)

Reynolds was in the crowd at Racecourse Ground in Wrexham and could be seen enthusiastically celebrating with fans.

“In 10 years’ time, the plan has and always will be the Premier League,” Reynolds said. Reynolds and McElhenney completed their takeover of Wrexham in February 2021. Wrexham forward Paul Mullin scored a third goal in the 86th minute, which looked like it would seal the historic win for Wrexham until Sheffield United’s John Egan scored a late equalizer.

When you consider the millions of Americans who have watched Welcome to Wrexham, the series is having an impact. The more soccer fans in this country, the better — no matter what team they support. [SportsCenter, NFL pre-game shows](https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/wrexham-to-appear-on-espn-sportscenter-and-nfl-countdown-20230128-WST-417434.html) and FX, the club has helped create new soccer fans in the US. From personal experience, some of my family members and friends who had no interest in soccer have watched the series. They were so captivated with Welcome to Wrexham that they’ve been watching Wrexham’s games in the FA Cup, and have been asking me whether they’ll get promoted, or not. We’re going back home in a couple of days but we’re already making plans to return.” In fact, co-owner Ryan Reynolds told the BBC today that 24,000 shirts have been sold since last summer, most of which were mailed to North America. That kind of marketing is priceless.” People clearly enjoyed the documentary.” Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson has seen that, in person. But indeed it has, as well as creating a passionate fanbase of Wrexham supporters throughout North America. “There are people taking pictures.

Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool have already fallen this season and Wrexham held their own against a side that could be in the top flight come next campaign. In forcing a replay, Phil Parkinson's men now have to travel to Sheffield to play the second leg away from home for a chance to reach the fifth round. A near-capacity crowd plus TV coverage and a host of social media attention related to the game will have put Wrexham on the soccer map a bit more for those previously unfamiliar with them. Sheffield United had other ideas, though, and broke Wrexham hearts five minutes into added time when John Egan equalized for the 10 men to earn a replay at Bramall Lane. Wrexham are by some way the underdogs in this matchup despite enjoying stronger financial backing than most at this level. The Wales-based side play in the National League, which is the fifth tier of professional English soccer, and three levels below the Blades who they have now taken to a replay.

The Athletic spent 24 hours in Wrexham, a club transformed under the co-ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

We got to the quarter-finals of that in 1976 and lost to Anderlecht. “That meant a lot to the team. The Sheffield United defender effectively pulled the plug out of the Racecourse Ground stereo, tapping in at the far post from a corner to silence the home support with a 95th-minute goal to make it 3-3. “We were trying to put together a team that could win the league at the first attempt,” Reed explains. I went with my son and we kind of went as fans, sat in the background, with a view to just casting an eye over the team and how the game went.” His involvement at Wrexham as an advisor to the board is intriguing and goes under the radar somewhat in the documentary. “I sat in the stand with Humphrey at Coventry and he had them on his very clever phone where you can get both of them on FaceTime at the same time, and they were just ecstatic,” Les Reed says. “There was one game left once I’d agreed to do what they wanted, and that was Dagenham away,” Reed says. “There’s a place in that story for things like that Coventry game and this Sheffield United game. In The Turf, we’re sort of in the eye of the storm. “Watching that was 100 per cent the catalyst for my interest (in coming here),” he says. It would be fair to say nothing has been the same in Wrexham since.
