Wrexham promotion medals and shirts listed on eBay for £100k - but sale ended

talksport.com, 15 December 2024, 16:00
Some slices of Wrexham history were put up for sale for an eye-watering sum over the weekend, but the listing has now ended.

Three match-worn Wrexham shirts - one of which was signed by the team - and two promotion medals were put up for sale on eBay by a user known only as '2013goods'.

The user originally listed the Wrexham memorabilia for £40,000, before they jacked up the price to a whopping £99,999.99.

The listing's description read: "This is an amazing opportunity for football fans to own a piece of history.

"The owners Ryan Reynolds & Rob McElhenney Wrexham AFC Official Promotion Medals 22/23 23/24, along with the match jerseys and signed top, make this a must-have for any collector of sports memorabilia.

"This unique item is perfect for fans original piece signed by the players themselves.

It is unknown which former or current Wrexham player the medals and shirts belonged to.

Wrexham's fortunes have been transformed tenfold since Reynolds and McElhenney bought the club in November 2020.

The Hollywood duo invested heavily in the playing squad and coaching staff and got their rewards when Wrexham shattered records on their way to winning the National League in 2023.

Phil Parkinson's side ended the National League season with a staggering 111 points, the most any team in the fifth tier had accumulated.

The triumph ended Wrexham's 15-year exile from the EFL and prompted further investment from Reynolds and McElhenney.

Once again, Parkinson and his troops repaid the faith shown by the superstar actors as they secured promotion from League Two at the first attempt.

Despite not competing in League One for 19 years, Wrexham are loving life in the third tier and sit in third place on 41 points.

Wrexham could have had 43 points had it not been for a late penalty in their 2-2 draw with lowly Cambridge United on Saturday.

Parkinson's side looked on course for a 2-1 win at The Racecourse but were denied a victory when Dan Nlundulu scored an 89th-minute penalty.

Reynolds was in attendance for the Cambridge clash and brought one of his many A-list celebrity pals along to the contest.

Channing Tatum, who starred alongside Reynolds in his latest Deadpool flick, took in Saturday's fixture and was even snapped visiting a local pub in Wrexham on Friday.

The Fat Boar pub shared a picture of Reynolds and Tatum along with a number of fans on X.

Reynolds was also feeling especially generous that night.

"I'm buying a round for everybody in here, which might be bussing in another 100 people as we speak but that's fine," he said in a clip from Wrexham.com on X.

"And then I'm very excited about tomorrow, I hope you'll all be watching and, you know, up the town, right?"
