Wrexham insider reveals who knows more about rules of football out of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney

A Wrexham insider has revealed who knows more about the rules of football out of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny.

Back in 2020, Hollywood stars Reynolds and McElhenney became owners of then Non-League club Wrexham, after sealing a deal worth £2.25 million.

Under their stewardship, the Red Dragons have since secured back-to-back promotions and will be playing in League One next season.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with SPORTbible, Wrexham executive director Humphrey Ker revealed who out of Reynolds and McElhenney has the better grasp of English football rules.

He said: “Well, if I have to pick between the two of them I'm going to say Rob and not just because he was my boss before this.

“Ryan has been so busy this year that he's just not had as much time to dedicate to being at the club to follow what's going on. He follows everything but he's making the most eagerly anticipated movie of the last five years at the moment and it comes out in a month and a half time so he's just absolutely slammed.”

Ker added: “We've been doing this now for three and a half years, four years. And there will still be strange occasions where something happens, where I'm like, I don't know that I've never seen that before.

“So they're these little things every now and then they're like, Oh, what, what's this? And yeah, usually it's my job or Shawn's job to go, ‘Oh, okay. I've worked out the sequence of events in my head and this is what's going on’. But they're pretty good.”

During the interview, Ker was also asked about his dream signings for Wrexham.

He went on to name Nottingham Forest and Wales defender Neco Williams, as well as Liverpool midfielder Wataru Endo.

Welcome to Wrexham season 3 launched on Friday, May 3 on Disney+ in the UK. The launch of the eight-episode season included the first two episodes, followed by a new episode each week.
