Almost a full year after they first got the green light to complete their highly publicised (and highly surprising) takeover, Wrexham AFC owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were in the crowd for their very first match on Tuesday.
"Deadpool" star Reynolds and "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" creator McElhenney first had their proposed takeover approved by a fan vote in November 2020 and joined a select group of celebrity football club owners when they purchased the Welsh side back in February, investing £2 million ($2.75m) to take control of the fifth-tier outfit. However, travel restrictions and scheduling difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic had prevented them from flying over to see the club in person before now.
