The love affair between Wrexham AFC and Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney has been one of the great stories in recent football history, but Football Manager is to thank for the club being taken over.
National League side Wrexham were taken over by Reynolds and McElhenney in 2021, and the club are now destined for promotion, and are in hot pursuit of a return to the football league. But where as some owners who have come over from North America have received criticism, the Hollywood pair have been welcomed with open arms.
Reynolds and McElhenney have embraced the British culture, and are regularly seen watching on from the stands as Wrexham push for promotion. But it's been revealed by executive director Humphrey Ker that Football Manager is responsible for the pair picking Wrexham in the first place.
