Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney was seen wiping away the tears while being serenaded by fans in a local pub last weekend.<br /><br />McElhenney and fellow Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds are currently enjoying their second full season at the Racecourse Ground after completing an unlikely takeover in November 2020.<br /><br />The Welsh club missed out on promotion in the duo's first full campaign last term, suffering a playoff semi-final defeat against Grimsby after a second-place National League finish. This season, they sit three points behind leaders Notts County in second once more.<br /><br />Nevertheless, McElhenney and Reynolds' arrival has breathed new life into Wrexham, and Red Dragons supporters made their appreciation known this week.<br /><br />In a clip posted on Twitter at the weekend, an emotional McElhenney appeared to be in tears while drinking with fans in a local pub.<br /><br />The Wrexham faithful sung his name - and referenced Reynolds' famous antihero Deadpool - as part of a chant dedicating to their new owners for saving their stadium from 'crumbling down'.<br /><br />The lyrics read: 'Less than a mile from the centre of town, a famous old stadium was crumbling down. No one invested so much as a penny, so bring on the Deadpool and Rob McElhenney.'<br /><br />McElhenney, who was enjoying a quiet moment on his own in the pub, was clearly overwhelmed by the song as he fought back the tears.<br /><br />The It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia star had watched Wrexham earn a 1-1 draw away at Boreham Wood on Saturday before visiting The Turf pub - just yards away from the Racecourse Ground - to spend time with supporters speaking about their season so far.<br /><br />Local band the Declan Swans, who performed the song which reduced McElhenney to tears, were also performing on the night.<br /><br />McElhenney and Reynolds' journey at Wrexham so far was documented on the popular Disney+ show 'Welcome to Wrexham', in which the famous actors are seen making a number of trips to the city.<br /><br />The documentary has already been renewed for a second series as the Red Dragons hunt promotion to League Two next season.
