  WHAT HAMMOND SAID

  Bromley CEO Mark Hammond has discussed facing celebrity rivals on podcast, saying: “We were the underdog against Wrexham, with Ryan Reynolds, but Andy [Woodman, Bromley manager] and the team, they did it, they beat Wrexham 1-0. That moment put us on the map as 'we're coming'.

  “We were already on the journey, but that really cemented that we're part of something, we're onto something, and we've just beaten Wrexham with Ryan Reynolds and Rob. But I have to say, at the start of the game, there was the entourage, and you had David Beckham and Will Ferrell.

  “The mark of the man though is that after the game, 15 minutes after everybody had gone, Ryan Reynolds walked out and he shook the owner's hand, my hand, and he stood with us for 15 minutes congratulating and talking normally, just a real human being, and I thought that was class because he could have gone home.”
