Ryan Reynolds has a heart of gold! Wrexham co-owner gives huge donation towards medical bills of ex-Red Dragons star who remains stranded in Thailand after serious accident

League One

Rotherham

Wrexham

Former Red Dragons midfielder Chalk finds himself stranded in Thailand after suffering a serious accident that has left him with multiple fractures and a broken femur. Before being unable to travel home, with a two-month stay expected in the Far East, the 54-year-old – who spent six years the Racecourse Ground between 1996 and 2002 - must cover the costs of any treatment that he has received.

WHAT HAPPENED?

A GoFundMe page was set up to aid those efforts, with an initial target set out of £1,000. Wrexham co-owner Reynolds has decided to match that figure by himself, with the Deadpool actor once again putting his hand into his pocket.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltf3d78a785d6a8962/Chalk_1.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltf3d78a785d6a8962/Chalk_1.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltf3d78a785d6a8962/Chalk_1.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Martyn Chalk Reynolds" data-source="GoFundMe" data-copyright="GoFundMe" data-portal-copyright="GoFundMe" perform:prop="uuid:bltf3d78a785d6a8962;width:639;height:806"></picture>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Reynolds, along with fellow co-chairman Rob McElhenney, has invested heavily in Wrexham as a football club and the community that the Welsh outfit serves. Rewards have been found on the field, with promotion secured back into the EFL, while the city is now thriving after figuring prominently in <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/revealed-how-wrexham-responded-becoming-documentary-stars-ryan-reynolds-rob-mcelhenney/blt3219ba5532dc093a " target="_blank">the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary series</a>.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltfb7550f9d2373e6e/Chalk_2.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltfb7550f9d2373e6e/Chalk_2.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/bltfb7550f9d2373e6e/Chalk_2.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Martyn Chalk Reynolds" data-source="GoFundMe" data-copyright="GoFundMe" data-portal-copyright="GoFundMe" perform:prop="uuid:bltfb7550f9d2373e6e;width:968;height:751"></picture>
