THE BIGGER PICTURE
Tozer – who helped Wrexham win the National League and get promoted to League One over the past two years – admitted losing his father to leukaemia last year was the "toughest" thing he has ever had to deal with. Now he is raising awareness and funds for a good cause, something Reynolds was eager to champion.
