WHAT THEY SAID: "It was a pressure cooker coming into this, I think, for both of these teams. What both have achieved is historic on every level," he told BT Sport. "I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like that. When I get my hands on Ben Foster, he's going to be on the injured reserve list, I'm going to break ribs, I'm going to hug him so hard."

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Wrexham had to come from 1-0 down to win after John Bostock opened the scoring in style, but looked set to throw the victory away before Foster's late heroics.

Reynolds admitted that it was a special game to be part of but the tension had been almost unbearable.

"I don't feel like I have a heart anymore. I feel like I used all the beats I have left during that match," he explained. "That was unlike anything I've ever seen before and indicative of all you lifers who have watched and participated in this beautiful, tortuous game for ever. I'm actually grateful at this moment that I didn't care about this years ago because it would have just eaten me alive. That was really something."
