Wrexham AFC owners are winning the hearts of the Wrexham community with their gestures. Ryan Reynolds recently donated to Wrexham’s U-12 futsal team FC United of Wrexham. But the Deadpool star didn’t stop there and sent a heart-warming message to the team’s 11-year-old player whose family is in hardships after his father’s death.

 

It was an idea by Rob McElhenney to buy Wrexham AFC because he felt the community of the town is somewhat identical to that of Philadelphia. Ryan Reynolds soon jumped the ship, and they brought the club in 2021. Since the takeover, the owners have actively contributed to the club and the community.
