Wrexham AFC has secured the National League title with a stunning come-from-behind victory over Boreham Wood at the Racecourse Ground. Co-chairmen Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were present to witness Phil Parkinson’s men recover from an early setback and emerge as 3–1 winners in front of over 10,000 fans.
After the game, the Hollywood duo paid tribute to the Reds fans, top goalscorer Paul Mullin, and title challengers Notts County in an interview with BT Sport. They were visibly moved as the team secured their first silverware since the takeover in 2021.
Paul Mullin scored twice, and Elliot Lee added a header to clinch the victory against an impressive Boreham Wood outfit chasing promotion to the Football League. Wrexham’s final game as a non-league outfit will be against Torquay United at Plainmoor next week.
Speaking to BT Sports, in the post-match interview. Ryan Reynolds said: "I am not sure I can process what happened tonight, I am still little speechless."
"'Why Wrexham?' [when people ask], This is why Wrexham. This happening, right now, is why."
When asked about the significance of Wrexham’s return to the Football League and what it means to supporters, McElhenney stated: "I think the sound of the town speaks for itself."
"It’s a time of celebration and be welcomed into their community and be welcomed to this, it is the honour of my life."
Reynolds praised Notts County, who were long-time title challengers and pushed Wrexham to the limit. He stated: "This entire story, the reason we are all on edge of our seats is because Notts County are so damn good.
"They deserve to go up. We are rooting for Notts County. We want to see them go up." McElhenney then signed off by exclaiming: "Paul Mullin is one of the greatest football players in the world."
