Whilst a fifth commented: “They got Joe Russo and Ant-Man AND Deadpool???”
Speaking after the match, Reynolds told BT Sport: “I am not sure I can process what happened tonight. I am still a little speechless.
“[People ask] 'Why Wrexham?'. This is why Wrexham. This happening, right now, is why. Boreham Wood showed up today. They are an incredible team. They have one of the best defences in the entire league.”
On Sunday morning, Reynolds took to social media to reflect on the club’s achievement.

He tweeted: “Everything I own smells like champagne, beer and grass.
“I’m still somewhere between giggling and sobbing. This town and this sport is one of the most romantic things on earth. Thank you, @Wrexham_AFC.”
