Tom Brady & Nikki Glaser as dream guest to rival David Beckham: Ryan Reynolds desperate to beat NFL legend ‘at sports’ as Wrexham face Birmingham in ‘Hollywood Derby’

EFL Trophy

Birmingham

Peterborough

League One

Wrexham

Bristol Rovers

<p>Back in September 2024, the first instalment of a contest that has become known as the ‘Hollywood Derby’ took place at St Andrew’s. Seven-time Super Bowl winner <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-okay-tom-brady-ryan-reynolds-bring-mates-over-for-now-celebrity-guests-embraced-birmingham-wrexham/blt2bc7625f4c17b8aa" target="_blank">Brady, who is an investor at Birmingham</a>, had the last laugh that day as the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/leg-attacking-mouth-paul-mullin-responds-bizarre-biting-incident-wrexham-defeat-birmingham-hollywood-derby/blt981b894da289568c" target="_blank">Blues secured a 3-1 win.</a></p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Manchester United and England legend <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/tom-brady-thanks-david-beckham-teaching-birmingham-win-wrexham-inter-miami-co-owner/blt9d5e41d89768b562" target="_blank">Beckham was by Brady’s side</a>, with Reynolds’ fellow co-chairman <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ready-rob-mcelhenney-reacts-welcome-to-birmingham-post-wrexham-defeat-hollywood-derby/blt80fe3f87c96be040" target="_blank">Rob McElhenney representing Wrexham</a>. A potentially <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-channing-tatum-will-ferrell-hugh-jackman-want-wrexham-tickets-ryan-reynolds-explains-red-dragons-vip-guest-list/blt8fb43d88b6e1bceb" target="_blank">star-studded return date</a> will take place at SToK Racecourse on Thursday.</p>

THE GOSSIP

<p>Quizzed by the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9S5v5muYfg&amp;t=2442s " target="_blank"><em>Men In Blazers</em></a> podcast on whether he indulged in any playful banter with Brady before and during the “high-cheekbone Clasico”, Reynolds said: “There is some of that. I wasn’t able to be at the Birmingham match, but he was sitting with Beckham and I was sh*t-texting both of them – mostly failing bone structure, age-related material, not my finest moment. I hate that they are both kind people in real life. There is definitely a lot of anticipation. Would I love to beat Tom Brady at sports? Yes. The answer is an emphatic yes. Would Rob? Maybe more. The bone structure classic coming up, it’s going to be a big one. I don’t know if I’ll be there, but it’s definitely on the cards.”</p>

WHAT RYAN REYNOLDS SAID

<p>Asked who he would like to bring along to rival Beckham, with it suggested that ‘Roast Battle’ icon Glaser – who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/they-suck-nfl-legend-tom-brady-roasted-former-new-england-patriots-boss-bill-belichick-birmingham-city-relegated/bltfb7e6bbac77ac9c0" target="_blank">savaged Brady during a Netflix special</a> – would be a good choice: “I don’t know John McEnroe but I want to see if he’ll come because having a real black belt sh*t talker would be nice. Nikki Glaser, amazing idea. Tom’s worst nightmare! Or I’ll wear my Nikki Glaser outfit, I have a whole thing I do.”</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Wrexham head into their latest meeting with Birmingham <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney-premier-league-wrexham-plans-appeal-big-company/blt51bff5d5dd93c645" target="_blank">sat third in the League One table</a>, three points adrift of the automatic promotion spots and five behind the table-topping Blues, who also boast two games in hand.</p>
