Kerry Evans is an inspiration to us all: a woman who hasachieved so much and helped so many despite the odds stacked firmly againsther. Is it any wonder that when Hollywood stars Rob McElhenneyand Ryan Reynolds realised they had to win over the supporters of the club theywanted to buy, the two people they rang were footballing club legend DixieMcNeill and Kerry Evans? Born with cerebral palsy, something she worked hard toovercome and forge ahead with her life, Kerry then suffered a bleed on thebrain, which left her with no feeling on the right side nor the ability towalk. Such a setback could have destroyed her. Initially, she lost confidenceand felt worthless. But then Wrexham Football Club came into her life, and shewas transformed. And then Hollywood came calling.

As disability liaison officer at Wrexham, Kerry was one ofonly six staff members who worked at the club prior to the Hollywoodtakeover and is therefore uniquely qualified to speak about how life at theclub has changed. She has witnessed at first hand the incredible story of howtwo Hollywood stars fell in love with a small football club in north Wales andtransformed not only the fortunes of the team but also those of the communitysurrounding it. But this is not just the story of the Hollywood takeover atWrexham - this is the story of how one woman's indomitable spirit enabled herto overcome adversity and spend her life helping others.
