The moment was caught on camera by a Wrexham fan after their team beat rivals Notts County 3-2 in a thrilling game to take first place in the National League.
And he apparently intends to replay Wrexham’s away game against Barnet on Saturday with only a few games remaining before the end of the season.
Following Wrexham’s victory on Monday, Ryan spoke of the adrenaline rush he experienced while watching the game, telling a reporter on the pitch: ‘I don’t feel like I have a heart anymore.
“I feel like I used all the beats I had left in that game.
“That was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before and, of course, characteristic of all you lifers who have watched and participated in this game, this beautiful, winding game forever.
“I’m actually thankful right now that I didn’t care about this years ago because it would have just eaten me alive…that was really something.”
Ryan booked his own £100,000 flight from Manchester airport to Teterboro shortly after watching his side beat Notts County.

In the run-up to the game, Ryan flew to London from New York before traveling by helicopter to Chester Airport and taking a chauffeured car to The Racecourse Ground.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Ryan is fully committed to Wrexham and the club’s success this season; he wants to see them promoted.
He knows his presence will give the team the support they need at such a crucial point, so it’s time to travel to make sure they reach this goal.
“But he’s also a family man and given his status, flying a private jet to be there for Blake and their kids is the only viable option.”
Spending £100,000 on a private jet is a small change for the Canadian actor, whose business ventures, including a stake in T-Mobile, have earned him millionaire status.
In addition to earning millions for his film roles, he also made significant coinage selling his ownership in beverage company Diageo for an estimated $610 million, as well as co-founding production company Maximum Effort, which has successfully produced viral advertisements.
He bought Wrexham Football Club in 2020 for a reported $2.76 million deal and has seen success with the team, hoping to secure promotion from The Vanarama National League to League Two this year.
