Wrexham are about to bring Hollywood glamour to the Championship as they await the announcement of their 2025-26 season fixtures on Thursday.
Actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the Welsh club in February 2021 and Wrexham have since become the first team in the top five tiers of the English game to win three successive promotions.
Having built a global fan base through the award-winning 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary series, the PA news agency looks at the main characters involved.
THE OWNER - Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney
Jaws dropped when Hollywood A-lister Reynolds, star of the Deadpool franchise, and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia co-creator McElhenney revealed their intention to buy Wrexham in September 2020.
Wrexham had just avoided relegation from the National League but since the £2million deal to purchase the club from the Wrexham Supporters Trust was completed Reynolds and McElhenney have transformed the team, with heavy investment fuelling the club's rise through the football pyramid.
