The Angels singer has revealed he wants to invest in his home town club Port Vale, in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent after seeing the impact Ryan and Rob had when they bought Wrexham in November 2020.

Robbie said in the US: “The Ryan Reynolds thing is intoxicating. It’s a beautiful story. It’s fascinating. It’s a fairytale. I’d like to be involved in something like that. My big love in football is Port Vale, a very small team in the UK, so somewhere down the line I’ll have something to do with it.”

Footie-mad Robbie built a pitch at his LA home and created his own team named after League One outfit The Valiants, Los Angeles Vale FC, made up of celeb pals and expats.

Young Rob, who also helped mastermind charity fundraiser Soccer Aid, was a defender like Vale’s Tom Sang, but said his future lay elsewhere.

Robbie, inset, said: “I was a left back. I was never good enough to be a pro but there was a longing to be something.

“But since middle age I know I’ve got the best job in the world. I’ve done Milan’s San Siro stadium where they’re all looking at me and every song I sing, I’m scoring a goal.”
