Stronger Than You Think Kerry Evans – The Autobiography
By Kerry Evans and Katie Whyatt
“THIS BOOK WILL INTRODUCE THE WORLD TO WREXHAM'S HEART. HER NAME IS KERRY EVANS.” RYAN REYNOLDS
Before they purchased Wrexham AFC, Hollywood stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds were told to contact two people: footballing legend Dixie McNeil and Kerry Evans. When Kerry received that call from California, something inside her sparked at the words ‘Would you like to come on a journey with us?’
Born with cerebral palsy, Kerry battled indifferent doctors, relentless bullies and crushing anxiety to establish the life she’d dreamed of. At thirty, she suffered a near-fatal brain bleed, leaving her without feeling on her right side and unable to walk. From rock bottom, Kerry fought to get her life back. Everything changed when she became Wrexham’s disability liaison officer… and then Hollywood came calling.
Stronger Than You Think offers a unique insider perspective on Wrexham’s star-studded takeover, with first-hand insights into how two famous actors altered the fortunes of the club and the community surrounding it. But this isn’t just the story of Wrexham AFC. This is the story of how one woman’s indomitable spirit enabled her to overcome the odds stacked firmly against her and make an immeasurable impact on the lives of football fans with disabilities and their families.
Reviews
“Kerry’s story isn’t inspiration. It’s ignition. It lights something inside yourself – a belief that no matter what your body does or what the world says, you can manifest the impossible. You can build systems of kindness, connection, impact and togetherness.”
Ryan Reynolds, actor and co-owner of Wrexham AFC
“Kerry is the heart beating beneath the chants, the quiet voice behind the roar of the crowd. She’s the person who reminds us – me, Ryan, the entire club – why we’re doing this in the first place. It’s not just about football. It’s about community. It’s about belonging.”
Rob McElhenney, actor and co-owner of Wrexham AFC
