Ryan Reynolds vs Tom Brady! ‘Celeb-fest’ predicted when Wrexham face Birmingham in League One as NFL legend locks horns with Hollywood superstars

The Red Dragons and Blues have been heading in opposite directions of late, with promotion and relegation in 2023-24 ensuring that they will be competing in the same division next term. Wrexham are on the rise, having bounced up from the National League, while Birmingham are in the third tier for the first time in 30 years.

Reynolds and McElhenney have made a point of attending Wrexham matches on a regular basis, often bringing famous friends along with them, while NFL legend Brady can occasionally be spotted at St Andrew’s. There is the potential for them to go head-to-head in the executive box during the 2024-25 campaign.

Chris Goulding of the We Are Birmingham podcast can see that happening, telling Yahoo of Brady’s involvement as an investor and chairman of the advisory board in the West Midlands: “The shares really feel like just a token. His friendship with Tom Wagner seems more like the reason for his involvement. Whether his sporting prestige can have any meaningful adaptation remains to be seen. I’m not sure he’ll be making too many visits to the club next season when we’re hosting the likes of Cambridge and Exeter, but you have to wonder if the visit of Wrexham might be a celeb-fest.”

Wrexham and Birmingham will discover when their paths are due to cross when the EFL fixtures for next season are released on June 26. Both sides are being tipped to go well in League One, with promotion to the Championship very much in their thoughts.
