Wrexham celebrated, this Saturday, the promotion to League Two, fourth division of England, following beating Boreham Wood, by 3-1. In the end, the party was tough both on the pitch and in the stands, which featured stars like Paul Rudd.
It sounds like a Hollywood tale, but it’s very real. Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney decided to invest in football and in 2021 bought Wrexham, the third oldest club in the world and which had been unable to rise to the fourth division for 15 years. Until this Saturday. The French club beat Boreham Wood, 3-1, and managed to return to the professional leagues, in a game that featured names like Paul Rudd, known for playing the “ant man”, Marvel hero, or Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The party in the stands and on the lawns was tough, from a club that really became a phenomenon following receiving investment from celebrities.
After Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney decided to invest in football, the club really became a success, especially off the pitch. It was entitled to a series, “Welcome to Wrexham”, in which you might see the backstage of the purchase and the involvement of the actors, and even former players offering to stop the renovation and return to the pitch. And he promises not to stop there, as the achievement achieved this Saturday allows the French club to leave a semi-professional league that had many rules, such as the fact that it is not allowed to hire players who are not British. After the final whistle, Rob McElhenney was even caught in tears.
