Wrexham fan Jay Fear dies a month after Ryan Reynolds helped make his final wishes come true

A Wrexham football fan has died a month after Ryan Reynolds made one of his final wishes come true. The Hollywood legend arranged a special day for Jay Fear at the Racecourse stadium on the day the team won promotion to the Football League.

After the meeting, Ryan said he was "chocked up" after meeting the 45-year-old. Learning of Mr Fear's death he paid tribute saying he will "never forget" the fan he described as "exceptional".

Writing on his social media accounts, Ryan said: "So grateful to have spent time with Jay Fear. He didn’t have much of it left and the fact he shared that time so freely with others is something I’ll never take for granted and never forget. This man lived. Sending all my love to Deb, Jess and Sam."
