The video, posted to Twitter by Rob saying: "The head and mouth are to scale, but the eyes are 50% more dreamy in real life. Happy Birthday@vancityreynolds from the @Wrexham_AFC Racecourse."

In the video, Rob said: “To celebrate my co-chairman’s birthday this year I wanted to do something special.
“I wanted the entire team to run out of Ryan’s giant inflatable mouth at the next match. But I heard that might be bad for player morale.”
The giant inflatable mouth appears, and the players are not pleased by the idea, with Paul Mullin simply saying: “Idiots.”

Instead, rob decides on the ‘Ryan Rodney Reynolds Memorial Blimp’, which features Ryan’s face with the scarred makeup from Deadpool, his iconic role.
Rob described it as “a hideous but surprisingly inexpensive way for the world to finally see Ryan Reynolds as he’s meant to be seen.”
The players and Humphrey Ker clap as they let the blimp fly.
