Wrexham AFC, the third-oldest football club in the world that was purchased by actors Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, celebrated a major victory on Saturday.
Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham Association Football Club (AFC) secured its return to the English Football League on Saturday following a victory against Boreham Wood.
The victory came two years after actors Reynolds and Rob McElhenney completed their purchase of the Welsh football club in February 2021 and 15 years after it fell out of the Football League in 2008. Wrexham, which was founded in 1864, is the third oldest professional football club in the world.
The stakes were high on Saturday, as Wrexham needed to prevail over either Boreham Wood at The Racecourse Ground, or for second-placed Notts County to lose at Maidstone to win both the National League and an automatic promotion to the football league.
After a rocky start to the game, Wrexham managed to prevail 3-1 against Boreham Wood, giving the club its Hollywood ending.
