Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's ownership of Wrexham AFC has led to the club's historic promotion to the English Championship. After purchasing the team four years ago, they faced skepticism about their ambition to reach the Premier League. However, a 3-0 victory over Charlton Athletic solidified their place in the second division, marking an extraordinary rise from a non-league team. Both actors express disbelief at their journey, highlighting the importance of storytelling and the club's growing popularity through their documentary, 'Welcome to Wrexham.'
It just seemed like an impossible dream, and we do what we're lucky to do be storytellers, Reynolds told Sky Sports after the game.
We were standing there doing a press conference four years ago, and said our goal is to make it to the Premier League. And there was understandably a lot of titters and laughter and giggles...
...that's for tomorrow to think about. Today is just enjoying the moment. We could probably wait until 12:01.
...many sports teams have celebrity absentee owners, Reynolds and McElhenney are anything but absent.
