Flirting with the club co-owner's mum, however, is a new one, but Wrexham star Ben Tozer might have just fallen foul of this unlikely rule.

When speaking to talkSPORT earlier this week, Tozer admitted that Ryan Reynolds' mother is not bad looking for her age.

The 77-year-old was spotted among the wild celebrations as Wrexham landed a pivotal 3-2 win over Notts County in dramatic fashion.

Talking to Laura Woods, the defender joked: "[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!"

And replying to the video of the interview on Twitter, Wrexham executive director and actor Humphrey Ker reached out.

He joked: "Potentially record-breaking Club fine incoming for @tozer_ben for chirpsing the Chairman's mum."

Replying to him, Tozer said: "She even asked for my shirt…"

Ker said back: "You are a menace."

Even Reynolds has since responded and Tozer must have been quaking in his boots when he got that notification.

Fortunately for the 33-year-old, the Hollywood A-lister took it in the jovial way it was meant and even admitted he might have to call him stepdad soon.

Replying to talkSPORT's tweet, he said: "Get promoted and I'll make you my new stepdad, Tozer."

Woods even got involved and proudly quote-tweeted the Deadpool star's post, writing: "Matchmaker!"

It is no surprise to feel the good vibes around the Racecourse Ground after a stunning season in the National League.

Wrexham lead the division by three points, ahead of Notts County, who they defeated in a nail-biting 3-2 win on Monday night with former Manchester United star Ben Foster saving an injury time penalty.

With just one team going up automatically to League Two, it was a vital victory that puts them on course to win the division, while they also have a game in hand over their second-placed rivals.

Reynolds and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney were handed the keys to Wrexham in 2020 and it has had a huge uplift on the club since with a return to the Football League almost sealed.
