Deadpool star Reynolds and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor McElhenny bought non-league Welsh football team Wrexham in 2020 and have enjoyed a fairytale rise. In the 2022/23 season, the team won promotion to the Football League for the first time in 15 years and reached the fourth round of the FA Cup — a major achievement for a team playing outside the Football League pyramid.
Their Disney+ doc series, Welcome to Wrexham, has shot the unfashionable team into the spotlight around the world.
Jordan, meanwhile, is also a football club investor, as a minority owner of Premier League team Bournemouth.
