Wrexham FC’s former captain Ben Tozer has spilled the beans on why he opted out of the popular “Welcome to Wrexham” documentary. While the show has catapulted the club to international fame, Tozer had his eyes set firmly on the promotion prize rather than the limelight. Joining from Cheltenham in 2021 after dropping two divisions, Tozer was on a mission to take Wrexham up the leagues.
Speaking candidly, he shared how he was laser-focused on football achievements rather than appearing on screen, keeping the cameras far from his home life in the process. “I couldn’t handle it personally… my goal was to get the club to League One,” Tozer explained, revealing his one-track mind when it came to on-field success. It seems his dedication paid off, as Wrexham secured crucial promotions during his time with the squad.
Interestingly, Tozer isn’t alone in having reservations about the documentary. Even Ryan Reynolds was once taken by surprise with a late-night call from an anxious player about a scene in the series. Reynolds shared the frantic story of how he learned about the possibility of editing an already-streamed show.
Despite these personal anecdotes, the show remains a hit, drawing millions of viewers to Wrexham’s journey under the glamorous ownership of Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. With a smashing three successive promotions, the club has fans cheering from not just North Wales but all around the globe.
“Welcome to Wrexham” continues to give fans an inside look at the club’s transformation, with celebrity backers and marvellous footballing stories making it a must-watch. Whether on or off the screen, it’s an exciting time to be part of the Wrexham world! ⚽🎬 #WrexhamAFC #RyanReynolds #FootballJourney #WelcomeToWrexham
