WHAT WINDASS SAID
He told : "They're great guys. They both sent me a little text after I got injured and that, which is a nice touch. They're really personal and you wouldn't think Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds when you speak to him, he's just the nicest guy. They ask about my family and stuff, nothing about football, they're just genuine fellas.
“They've been winning non-stop for three years and now to get here where the next step is the promised land as they say. If I can do that it would be great. I've been trying to do that in the last few years with Wednesday but obviously it wasn't to be. I've come here and there's a group that has had so many millions on them to give it a crack, that's what I'm here for.”
