The north Wales outfit stole the spotlight on Easter Monday beating title rivals Notts County at the Racecourse in a must-win clash, with both clubs on 100 points.

Wrexham came out on top in the end in what really was a game fit for Hollywood that saw Ben Foster save a last-minute penalty to send his side back to the summit of England's fifth tier.

Reynolds and co-owner, Rob McElhenney, were spotted celebrating with their players after the pivotal victory.

Reynolds' mum, Tammy, was there and got involved in the celebrations and earned the affection of Tozer.

The 33-year-old defender joined talkSPORT Breakfast and host Laura Woods asked if there was any truth to him being her favourite.

Tozer played it down, but talked warmly of his boss' 77-year-old mother. "Not quite her favourite, but we had a lovely hug."

But it was what he said next that left the talkSPORT studio in stitches.

"She's not a bad looking woman at 77 it's got to be said!" he laughed.

Reynolds had a brilliant response, taking it in the way it was intended.

Replying to talkSPORT on Twitter, Reynolds wrote: "Get promoted and I'll make you my new stepdad, Tozer."

Only one team is guaranteed automatic promotion to the EFL and, should Wrexham remain top of the table, the club will return to the Football League for the first time since 2008.

It's something Reynolds and McElhenney have been building towards ever since getting the keys to the club in 2020.
