THE BIGGER PICTURE: Fans were quick to notice this as well when the picture was shared on the club's official Twitter handle. One fan pointed out that the lookalike in the picture is in fact John Price. The Wales International, born in 1854, played in that iconic first-home Welsh International match against Scotland in 1877.

Reynolds and fellow Hollywood star Rob McElhenney bought Wrexham in 2021 and since then the team is back in the Football League for the first time in 15 years.
