ANDY: There was a lovely symmetry to last weekend’s double celebration, something that’s been on our mind for 17 years.

We scratched the itch at Lincoln - but there were many more itches that come with wearing a sheep mask and trying to watch a game through a nostril. But anyway, I digress… this week’s edition is powered by Ryan Reynolds who very kindly gave Fearless some of his time this week - we’ll tell you how that came about.

We look at Lincoln and the end of season awards and we have not one, but TWO Wrexham fans of the week with Focus Wales starting up. One is playing, the other thankfully isn’t.

We’d love you to subscribe to this newsletter, which is actually up for Best Sport Newsletter at the Publisher Newsletter Awards next month. It’ll cost you £40 for the year, but isn’t that a small price to pay to get Ryan Reynolds’ favourite newsletter* each week?

So how did it come about? Firstly, Ryan did this off his own back. There were no pleas to the club or a third party. Tim sends him messages on insta every now and again and he replies when he can. Two months ago he sent an unsolicited video message with a ‘going for promotion’ message we shared in this newsletter.
