GETTING SHIRTY

RYAN REYNOLDS crashed Ben Foster's post match interview following Wrexham's 3-1 win over Boreham Wood.

The win meant closest challengers Notts County could no longer mathematically catch the The Red Dragons at the top of the National League.
The party was in danger of being spoilt as Boreham Wood took the lead in the first minute, but Wrexham hit back in typical dramatic fashion through Elliot Lee and two goals from star striker Paul Mullin.
Supporters flooded the Racecourse Ground once the full-time whistle confirmed their promotion as champions with a four point lead over Notts County with just one game left to play.
Before the celebrations could continue into the night Foster, who came out of retirement to join on a short term contract in March, saw his post match interview interrupted by Reynolds.

"He did. He was so hungry for the shirt. He told me to make sure I didn't throw it into the crowd because he needs it."

Foster also explained what it was like to work with the Hollywood owners.
He said: "They're brilliant. They absolutely love it. They're fully in, and I mean that. They're like one of the boys, at times. They won't come in shouting and raving.
"They come in and celebrate and get behind the lads because they understand that you're not always going to win.
"You're not always going to play 10/10. They understand that sport is an arena where the opposition want to win just as much as you do.
"That's the beauty of what [the owners] do - they don't always expect instant results. They've been here for two years now.
"Last year was a big disappointment but this year, when you've got a Notts County who are breaking records just as much as we are, it's ridiculous.
"This is one of the hardest leagues to get out of in the world and they need to have a look at it because it's not fair."
Ant-Man star Paul Rudd joined Reynolds and McElhenney for Saturday's game and was pictured drinking with fans before kick-off.
