Wrexham FC could still have their Hollywood ending or at least that is what Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are hoping for. The club sit first in the Vanarama National League three points above Notts County.
Winners of 4 of their last 5, Wrexham FC has become a global phenomenon as their famous owners have brought major awareness and marketing opportunities to the club, but the project is still many years away from its ultimate goal… The Premier League.
In order to get there, the club is making Premier League caliber signings and one former England and Manchester United star has come out of retirement and laced up his boots again and that is Ben Foster.
