Bill Sharp continues Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are threatened as a result of the Wrexham feud.
Billy Sharp may be making his mark in America with LA Galaxy, but he could not help but rekindle his feud with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s team by making fun of Wrexham.
Billy Sharp, a former striker for Sheffield United, has told Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney that he may make a counter-documentary to theirs to provide his side of the tale.
The seasoned attacker, who is currently playing for MLS club LA Galaxy, has previously voiced his displeasure with the North Wales team. The 37-year-old’s protracted dispute with the Red Dragons began with a spectacular FA Cup match last year.
After playing Sheffield United to a 3-3 draw at the Racecourse Ground to force a replay, Phil Parkinson’s team nearly pulled off a giant-killing. In the end, Sharp was there to break Wrexham’s hearts as he gave the Blades the lead with the score still tied at one after extra time.
After 180 minutes of play, Sander Berge added a third goal for the Yorkshiremen to ultimately break the National League team’s will. The former Blades captain then got into a heated argument with Wrexham’s head coach Parkinson, which Sharp described as a “little scuffle.” In his post-game interview, Sharp criticized Wrexham’s actions leading up to the replay.
The forward has now given his opinion on the possibility that the altercation will be shown in the FX documentary Welcome to Wrexham. Additionally, he has vowed to make public his own account of what happened while hurling a number of jabs at the Hollywood-owned club.
Speaking to The Athletic, Sharp said: “If they want to put me in the documentary, go ahead. I think people in Los Angeles probably know me now for scoring goals rather than knocking (Wrexham) out of the FA Cup. People don’t even know the real story. Wrexham will put out what they want to on their documentary, and maybe I’ll put out my own and tell them what really happened.
“I scored the goal, which knocked them out, and a little scuffle happened in the changing room. I don’t really like their manager anyway from past experiences, and he probably doesn’t like me.
Billy Sharp taunted the Wrexham players after Sheffield United’s FA Cup win (
“It’s just one of those things in football where it sometimes gets very overheated…I know what they’re going to do; they’re going to show the clips that make me look like a baddie.
“That’s fine. I’ll wait to see what happens and have my say afterwards. The record book says we beat them in the FA Cup, so they can have a documentary about it if they want.”
Unable to resist a further dig towards Dragons boss Parkinson, the 37-year-old star also explained what he has envisaged for his life after he hangs up his boots. He joked: “I’ll probably become Wrexham manager when [Phil] Parkinson gets the sack.”
