Wrexham 'on march to history' after promotion

Wrexham FC are on "a march to history" following their unprecedented third straight promotion to the second tier of English football, co-owner Ryan Reynolds has said.

The Canadian actor also said the club's success had helped unite the north Wales city.

"Wrexham is just as politically divided as anywhere else but when you walk through the gates of that place, we're all wearing the same shirt and we're chanting the same filthy songs," he told US host Stephen Colbert.

Reynolds also itted that - four years after buying the club - he had found learning Welsh "difficult".

Wrexham's promotion to the Championship last month meant the club became the first team in the history of English football's top five divisions to secure three successive promotions.

Reynolds – who regularly attends games, celebrating with the team when they won promotion last month – said he was motivated to make the club a success after meeting a woman who asked him why he had invested in Wrexham.
