Wrexham captain Ben Tozer reveals birthday present for Ryan Reynolds featuring his mum

Tozer has been one of the key stars of the League Two side's rise up the football pyramid, which doesn't look like stopping any time soon.

Hollywood owners Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have piled their millions into the project and were rewarded with a promotion to the fourth tier for the first time in 15 years.

Having a much closer relationship with their squad than most club owners, the pair invited their players to Las Vegas during the summer after securing promotion and the League Two title.

They also regularly pop up in advertising campaigns with the footballers and on social media, particularly around each other's birthdays.

So with Marvel star Reynolds turning 47, it was only right that talkSPORT asked Tozer what he was getting his boss for his birthday.

Ryan Reynolds apologised to Wrexham star for viral comments that involved Blake Lively

"I was going to get him a picture of myself with his mum because of all the history there," he joked.

"But there was no whip round as I'm sure he's not short of a few quid, but it will be great when we see him."

Tozer's comment relates back to a viral joke he made about Reynold's mum Tammy on talkSPORT, which prompted a response from the Deadpool actor.

Tammy was present for a gigantic 3-2 win over promotion rivals Notts County last season, and was seen joining in with the post-match celebrations.

When asked if he was her favourite by Laura Woods, Tozer replied: "[I'm] not quite her favourite, but we had a lovely hug.

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

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