WREXHAM

Among the collection, the TV star also shared a snapshot of himself with Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds.

The two became co-owners of Welsh soccer team, Wrexham AFC, in November 2020.

They are expected to suffer a major financial loss after pumping nearly $300,000 on a temporary stadium at the Racecourse Ground.

Executive Director Humphrey Ker will oversee the building of a new stand - which is scheduled to be ready for the 2024-25 season.

'LOVING IT'

In an interview with , Humphrey spoke about the famous stars and said: “Rob and Ryan are definitely loving it as much as ever.

“To me, that’s because the way we are doing football club ownership is in an extremely fun way.

He continued: “Yes, it comes with a huge amount of responsibility and pressure, plus all the other things that come with being the custodians of this historic club.

"But we are also in this extraordinary position of being a genuinely unique club in world football because of the level of interest that comes from outside sources and from people who would usually never pay the slightest attention to football."

The executive director went on: “That arms you with an incredible level of resources, frankly, and allows you to be ambitious and expansive — and do things like building the temporary stand at the Kop end."

He concluded: "There is probably no other club in the country who could go, ‘Yeah, we’ll lose a tonne of money doing what is, on a business level, a pretty stupid thing to do, but let’s do it anyway because we can get more people into the stadium'."
