'Wrexham is the greatest drug on earth!' - Ryan Reynolds revels in sensational 6-5 comeback against Dover Athletic

Ryan Reynolds described Wrexham as "the greatest drug on earth" while revelling in their sensational 6-5 comeback victory over Dover Athletic.

Wrexham moved up to second in the National League after a thrilling win against bottom-of-the-table Dover at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday, battling back from 5-2 down to steal the points in the dying seconds of stoppage time.

Hollywood A-lister Reynolds, who co-owns the club alongside fellow actor Rob McElhenney, took to social media to express his joy after the final whistle as he also joked about the toll the drama of the occasion had taken on him.

"I just lost nine years off my life. And I’m okay with that," Reynolds wrote on Twitter.

"Apologies to my family. Also, bury me in Wales."
