When Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought Wrexham AFC, they hoped to build the team up to consistently earn promotion for the first time in 15 years. Over two years later, it happened, as Wrexham clinched promotion with a win over Boreham Wood on Saturday.
The American owners were on hand as their football club successfully clinched first place in the National League. As the clock wound down, and the players stormed the field to celebrate, the cameras panned towards Reynolds and McElhenney in the owner’s box, as the two actors were clearly emotional over the result.
