The purchase of the north Wales club by two
American actors provoked joy – and a little bemusement
Palm-lined boulevards, sun-kissed beaches, celebrity-filled pool parties: these are not the images that come to mind on a damp November afternoon in Wrexham.

Hollywood dream.
The news that the actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney had bought Wrexham
Football Club had flashed around the world and left locals in a state of feverish excitement, or at least mild bemusement.
