Can you imagine two people who know nothing about soccer buying one of the oldest teams? Well, this might sound disastrous how one can make such a big investment without possessing zero knowledge regarding it. However, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney turned out to be more fortunate in that case when they bought the Wrexham football club without a second thought. Still, one certainly cannot deny the dedication and hard work this duo put into this club and city. There is a major transformation witnessed in the past years, whether it’s about team players or the beautiful Welsh culture.

Taking this unshakable commitment and goodwill in their hearts, these Hollywood stars have once again proved there is no chance Wrexham AFC can get better owners. And it’s lovely to see how Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been helping the community of Wales without expecting anything in return.

According to The Athlete, the co-owners of Wrexham have changed the life of a 30-year-old woman confined to a wheelchair. The publication interviewed Kerry Evans, who was recently seen in the first season of the Wrexham documentary series. Currently working as a disability liaison officer in the club, Evans has gone through tough times more than one could imagine. She revealed that her body was paralyzed following a bleed on the brain. This instance snatched away all the happiness of her life, making her dependent on others.

However, all this changed when she heard about a vacancy at the Wrexham Club and got appointed as a liaison officer. Kerry continued that like many natives, she wasn’t sure of Ryan Reynolds and his buddy owning Wales legacy. But she is happy they did because these two have brought incredible changes on these grounds. Including giving a voice to people like Kerry Evans who think they can’t contribute to society because of their disability.
