Ryan Reynolds posts strong message to NFL icon Tom Brady after seeing Wrexham lose unbeaten League One record to Birmingham in 'Hollywood derby' clash

Both sides entered their meeting at St Andrew’s unbeaten in League One and looking to maintain momentum in what they hope will be sustained bids for promotion into the Championship. It was the home side that prevailed in a contest that had been billed as the ‘Hollywood derby’.

Reynolds’ Wrexham co-chairman, Rob McElhenney, was in attendance, along with Birmingham investor Brady and Manchester United legend David Beckham – who was joined in the stands by his son Romeo and former Red Devils team-mate Gary Neville.

Jack Marriott gave Wrexham an early lead, but Birmingham took charge from there and dominated proceedings in a 3-1 win that saw record signing Jay Stansfield bag a brace and Tomoki Iwata get in on the act. Reynolds is not reading too much into the final scoreline, posting on social media afterwards: “Tough loss to a good club. Congrats @bcfc @tombrady on the win. Lots of season yet to go. Up the town. Now and forever.”

Wrexham remain top of the League One table, but have been joined on 13 points by Birmingham and Charlton – with the Blues boasting a game in hand. The Red Dragons will be back in action on Saturday when welcoming Crawley to SToK Racecourse.
