‘Finally snagged an invite. Thanks Wrex. @VancityReynolds @RMcElhenney @Wrexham_AFC @WrexhamFX. ” The actor wrote on twitter. He was pictured alongside both Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
Prior to the game, passionate supporters gathered outside Wrexham’s grounds, hoping to catch a glimpse of celebrity contestants. When Jackman waved at them, they were rewarded for their exuberance. Back in February, Jackman revealed that some of Wrexham’s rival clubs had approached him about co-ownership. It was after Reynolds bought the Welsh club. For years, the two stars’ continuous playful rivalry has been the buzz of the town.
This league comeback has been a great dream come true for devoted fans. However, the Welsh side’s return to the EFL has not been a dream come true. At the half, they trailed MK Dons 3-5. Perhaps there will be a magical turnaround soon for the club’s Hollywood owners to enjoy.
The Red Dragons are expected to have a strong first season in League Two. Many supporters and commentators believe they have the personnel, momentum, and cash to mount a genuine successive promotion drive. Whatever happens this season, the Welsh team is in a fantastic period.
