Owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney even got to share an American sports tradition with their Welsh brethren, drenching Wrexham’s CEO in Gatorade, and fans — as well as the Deadpool and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia stars themselves — couldn’t get enough.

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have been advised to avoid any temptation to sign a "token American" in an effort to maximize Wrexham's growing popularity in the U.S.

The ex-Wales international (above) had not met Reynolds and McElhenney until last Saturday's promotion-clinching win over Charlton, when he was invited to the owners' box and then asked to celebrate on the pitch alongside them afterwards.
