Former Wrexham hero Steven Fletcher has made a jaw-dropping Hollywood claim about the club that will leave the fanbase and rival fans both in awe.
Football fans nationwide would relate that the best time to be a fan is when the players think only of enjoying the game as fans too. And talking of this, I refer to the rest days a non-footballing schedule presents, especially in the holiday season.
Such is this New Year’s time, where fans sit with pastries & pies while enjoying their club’s hectic EFL schedule. Then, party poppers or a spoiled mood, it all depends on your side’s display.
Honestly, this 1st Jan matchday sensations ain’t looking very well for Wrexham, but as has been the fanbase’s reputation, it’s bound to show up in record numbers again. Thinking if only any Dragons’ star would repeat what Steven Fletcher did for the club last to last year.
It’s been 2 years since the Scot made the fans go crazy, but hardly anyone would’ve forgotten his hat-trick against Barrow that day. And what could’ve been a better occasion? As the League One matchday marked his 400th EFL appearance.
Summed up, it was the perfect moment set up by one of Wrexham’s most underrated “Moments-star” for the Dragon fans.
Arguably, it’s disappointing that Wrexham and Fletcher are no longer together, with the club parting ways with him last summer. Still, to say that their mutual love ever decreased will be a fallacy.
Fletch, as he is called by Wrexham fans, often makes a guest appearance on former Dragons goalkeeper Ben Foster’s YouTube channel and never shies away from talking about everything Wrexham on other podcasts. Recently, he sat down with Max Cleworth on That Wrexham Podcast, where the 23-year-old defender shed light on a weird matchday routine.
Even there, Fletcher’s smile said how much he cherishes his good old days in a Wrexham shirt. On the pitch, the forward was always pumped up for finding the net and off the pitch, Fletcher was for everything the life at Wrexham offered him.
Steven Fletcher’s golf tale would have fans envy
Recently, in a Ladbrokes interview, Fletcher recounted one of his favourite tales, giving a sneak peek of what the much-called Wrexham life looks like. Fletch said: “Me and one of the other lads, Elliot Lee, spent a few days in LA after we went to Vegas, and Rob had called me and asked me if I wanted to go and play golf with him. He introduced us to this golf club which is basically just for Hollywood A-listers.”
Such words coming from a celebrated Premier League striker like Fletch speak of their exclusivity. With such an experience being a surprise even for him, it’s bound to make the fans go crazy over it.
Let’s be all honest here. Growing up, every teen dreams of living the celebrity glam life and experiencing it, even if just for once. Yet, given the harsh reality of fortune, many need to resort to such hero reveals of what the posh industry feels from inside.
No, and this isn’t restricted to the golf club access only. Credit needs to be given to Rob for making such a luxury a part of the players’ everyday lives, something that even the topmost celebrities crave for.
Without a doubt, Wrexham staff have been extremely fortunate to have such celebrity owners in Mac Rob & Ryan Reynolds. Being present on game avenues, actively managing the club decisions, while providing the best access to the players, Wrexham’s cinematic story couldn’t have had better owners than them.
