Ryan Reynolds paid tribute to Paul Mullin after a “WTF-bonkers” season and lauded Wrexham’s perseverance following their comeback victory against Colchester United.
Consequently, what happened?
On Saturday, Wrexham overcame a deficit to defeat Colchester 2-1 and move up to second place in League Two. John Akinde’s opening goal was cancelled out by Paul Mullin, and Max Cleworth scored five minutes remaining to secure a crucial three points. Co-owner Reynolds praised his players following the win and expressed gratitude in particular to Mullin, who netted the team’s 100th goal.
RYAN REYNOLDS’ QUOTES
The Hollywood star posted on Instagram: “There are four matches left. Tick, come from behind and win. Tick for Paul Mullin’s 100th goal. Tick, Max Cleworth’s first goal. As another WTF-bonkers season draws to a close, there is life-threatening suspense and heart-stopping tension. Tick.”

With three points separating Wrexham from fourth-place Mansfield Town—though the Stags still have a game in hand—the outcome solidifies Wrexham’s hold on the automatic promotion slots. The Welsh team is so close to earning back-to-back promotions that they are only two points behind MK Dons in third place despite having played one fewer game.
Next?
At the Racecourse on Tuesday night, Reynolds’ Wrexham—four points behind league leaders Stockport County despite having played one more game—will take on play-off-chasing Crawley Town.
