It's like the plot of a Hollywood movie. Two film stars with zero knowledge of football buy a British club in dire straits… cue rousing music. It’s the ultimate underdog blockbuster.
Instead, Welcome To Wrexham, now streaming on Disney+ is a brutally real 18-part docu-series charting the decision of Rob McElhenney (It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) to buy a Welsh soccer club that has fallen on hard times.
They dream of bringing Wrexham AFC and the town back to prominence, but they’re going in completely blind. They don’t understand football and have never been to Wrexham.
