Ryan Reynolds’ incredible gesture to Wrexham ace wife with inoperable tumour
Ryan Reynolds has showed his class with a touching gesture to Anthony Forde – whose wife had an inoperable tumour following her brain cancer diagnosis.
The Irish full-back's life was turned upside down last season following the medical news, and he took time out of the Wrexham team. The news quickly made it's way to the Hollywood co-owners, and Reynolds wanted to do something for Forde.
Speaking on the latest episode of Welcome to Wrexham, Forde said: "It just didn't feel like it was real. The gaffer told the owners about the news and they reached out. Ryan helped get a second opinion. It's something that he doesn't have to do, he doesn't have to do that."

Laura, Forde's wife, went for an MRI after noticing a problem which found a 'mass', and she was initially told it was not curable.
However, as a result of the second opinion, the original diagnosis was downgraded to a grade 1 Thalamic pilocytic astrocytoma – a benign brain tumour, which is much less fatal than the first verdict.
