Things were not easy for Wrexham in the National League. Their promotion to League Two demanded consistency week in and week out, considering the challenge posed by Notts County. Eventually, both teams ended up being promoted. However, one player at Notts County gathered a lot of attention with his brilliant campaign. His performance against Wrexham was so good that it left even Ryan Reynolds and McElhenney bemused.

Wrexham and Notts County have carried their brilliant form into League Two. Both teams are within the top 5 in the table and are scoring nearly two goals a game. Wrexham has a very balanced side with difference makers all across, like Elliot Lee and Paul Mullins. For Notts County, the main last term and this season remains the same.

Notts County ‘Goal-Machine’ responds to Wrexham owner’s ‘handsome’ statement

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney became aware of Macaulay Langstaff during the Wrexham vs Notts County in 2022. As per the Welcome to Wrexham documentary McElhenney said, “Macaulay Langstaff, he can f*ck off“. This was in response to Langstaff’s performance, which helped Notts County beat Wrexham. Langstaff scored the only goal which resulted in Wrexham losing 1-0. Reynolds also expressed admiration for Langstaff’s display. He said, “Yeah, God that guy is good. He’s handsome as f*ck. He looks like he could be in Peaky Blinders”.

Getting such a compliment from Deadpool himself would leave anyone blushing, and Macaulay certainly did. He told Sky Sports, “When Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are calling you handsome and saying you should go on Peaky Blinders, you can’t help but be complemented by that”. He also added that he hadn’t watched the documentary. Perhaps Wrexham finishing the National League ahead of Notts County might have dampened his mood. However, the news regarding manager Luke Williams is certainly relieving for the 26-year-old forward.
