Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney shed tears of joy as they watched Wrexham finally seal their return to the Football League.
The Hollywood actors bought Wrexham AFC in November 2020 for £2m, despite knowing little about football or indeed North Wales, and set about lifting the club back to League Two for the first time in 15 years.
After narrowly missing out last season – a disappointment documented in the TV series Welcome To Wrexham – the team held off the stiff challenge of Notts County to clinch the league title and automatic promotion with a game to spare, after beating Boreham Wood 3-1 on Saturday evening.
Reynolds and McElhenney were watching on at the Racecourse Ground along with their guest, fellow actor Paul Rudd, and they let their emotions show when the final whistle blew, sparking a pitch invasion by Wrexham supporters.
