Topics: Wrexham, Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney
Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney gave a priceless interview after seeing his club make history with a third straight promotion.
The Hollywood duo purchased Wrexham when they were lurched in Non League back in 2021 - securing backing from the 2,000 members of Wrexham Supporters Trust.
Reynolds and McElhenney immediately invested £2 million into Wrexham and have completely transformed the fortunes of a club which was out of the Football League for 15 years.
They secured back-to-back promotions under Phil Parkinson and have now achieved their target of being promoted to the Championship with a year to spare.

Wycombe's 1-0 loss to Leyton Orient handed Wrexham the chance to secure the promotion against Charlton Athletic and they made no mistake with a comfortable 3-0 victory in front of their own supporters at the STok Racecourse.
After Paul Mullin apologised for giving an x-rated interview to Sky Sports, both Reynolds and McElhenney spoke about the unprecedented achievement they have helped deliver.
Reynolds said: "There are so many people here that don't get the credit they deserve. People are here everyday, the stewards, the supporters, the media team, the coaches, everyone keeping the players safe. People who are not talked about, not sung about but actually keep the entire thing going and we have so much love for them."
McElhenney added: "It seemed like an impossible dream. The greatest dressing room in sports, in any category, I've ever seen before. Truly folks I've seen who are all for one and one for all. This community, I'm speechless with their passion and emotion."
The two made sure to pay tribute to manager Phil Parkinson and the stellar job he has done, stating that they have the "easiest jobs in the world" and merely have to "show up and watch this incredible football team".
Reynolds continued: "If you want to see what it means to them, go into the dressing room after a loss, nothing can console them. Rob dancing, me dancing definitely that's going to hurt some eyes. That's where you see the grit and the metal these players have. It means everything."
Although prompted by the reporter when announcing they will be in the Championship next season, the two dropped their microphones in sync to conclude the interview.
After cleaning the mics, the two proceeded to join in the wild celebrations.
