Finally Rob Getting some due.. All you hear and see is Ryann Reynolds. When Rob is the one who made it all start. He needs more recognition.
YES.
True dat...
I admire Rob and Ryan so much. Living in Wrexham and supporting their club since the 70’s, it is great to see how much of a breath of fresh air they have brought to the town. It is a two way street, though; they have really bought into the love of the game and of North Wales and it’s culture and language. Cymru am byth! 🏴
Congratulations on promotion. The world's with Wrexham.
Great Story. Great City, as far as I can tell from watching the tv show.
Wrexham and Wales sneaked into my places to visit during my lifetime.
I have already been in Cardiff, but that was 30 years ago and it was during my service in military, so it was not really a holiday. But even back than I enjoyed the time in Wales. Lovely people and places
I had no idea what kind of person Rob was/is until he took over Wrexham and I started paying attention. Really solid dude. Seems like a great guy to have a beer with and talk about life and all that comes with it.
Great interview, great questions, deep respect to Rob for being a real human being
With love from Wales 🏴
Rob is class!, pure soul
Can’t believe 2 Hollywood stars have made me feel even prouder to be Welsh. Great interview, btw.
Yes and as a Villa lass - more than that, they literally infected the national league with 'possibilities' that was always there... but never truly explored.
As a soccer fan and having seen this from Ben Foster's perspective (Wrexham goalkeeper who puts the GoPro in his goal), it was great to hear it from Rob's perspective. -Paras
As a massive fan of football and a supporter of Chelsea fc for 55 years it has been fascinating following the Wrexham story since Rob And Ryan's takeover a couple of years ago. Best wishes for Continued success with Wrexham to you guys plus I love your sense of humour which comes across so well.
About time Ryan gave you a Hug. Will watch Wrexham fc v Chelsea fc in the states this summer in your rise to the top.
There will be ups and downs of course but I'm sure it will be worth it in the end. Good luck to you both as well as your families. ❤❤
Wrexham Wrexham 🎉 🇮🇳
Great interview! Love Rob ❤
Really really good interview, loved the WWE love part at the beginning, and love the whole complicity on screen and of course Wrexham and Football ⚽⚽
You both are excellent interviewers with really great questions. Thank you!
The reason people call WWE fake is not because it doesn't require great skill or athleticism, but because it's not a true competition. The "winners" and "losers" are not determined in the ring but were determined weeks prior in a writers room. That's rather different than sports that you can wager on.
Just don't call it fake
nice vid guys, great vibe, subscribed :) I liked the extra bits of info you got from rob from a more technical angle compared to all the other interviews i've already seen. I learned more. Nice one.
Thank you r asking about mythic quest. So underrated
Rob is awesome, really good interview with great questions.
Class interview rob what a guy up the town 👏
Great interview! Subscribed
Loved this interview. Thanks
This was pretty cool.
Rob is absolute Class!!!
What a Guy!!!!!
New Sub on This Alone.. Great Pod ♥️
Thank you!
Since this fairytale began I’ve watched so many video clips and interviews with Rob and Ryan and this is the best one I’ve come across. And that’s mainly down to the hosts who had the most intelligent and insightful questions.
Wow, thank you Justin. That means a lot to us!
How did you get rob to come on your show?
cause hes some super rich tech guy
Where's the 7x7 rubiks cube you used to have on the shelf
Or is that for the season finale too 😂
Heyoo!
Gareth Gale from Real Madrid to wrexham is like Ryan Reynolds from top A high budget movies to those from Steven Seagal B or C shitty quality movies
Gareth Bale would be too injury prone for your division.
I never see or read anything about these two which doesn't make me smile!
We love you Ronald McDonald. Glad the rest of the world is finally finding out about you ,Keep going you’re an inspiration 🇺🇸🦅
Wow, that guy massacred Rob's last name 🤨
I spent 1 month in India and massacred everyone's surname so I tend not to judge 2nd language speakers 🤔🤨
@@BoardsportsGroup if hes on your show you should learn it
@@user-rr4xt8du6c He learnt it - you just don't like the his dialect, so to YOU its "massacred"
@@BoardsportsGroup ryan reynolds literally made a song on how to pronounce it
