In today’s video, we’ll tell you how this Welsh team took another step towards the coveted Premier League and why you should follow this sensation. So subscribe to our channel and let’s get started!
Hollywood FC
When Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought Wrexham in 2020 and announced their ambitions to take the club to the Premier League, they were laughed at.
How can some Americans, who call football soccer, come to England and turn a small Welsh club into a Premier League side? Most fans believed that the stars were just bored in Hollywood and had bought themselves a toy that they would leave behind as soon as they got tired of it.
Three and a half years have passed since then, and no one is laughing at them anymore. Wrexham have won two promotions in the last two seasons, first winning the National League and now automatic promotion in League Two.
The series about the Welsh club from the depths of English football is shown on Netflix, Hulu, Apple TV, Disney , and Amazon. The club tours the United States and signs advertising contracts worth millions of pounds, with an income higher than most Championship clubs.
Wrexham sign players with Premier League experience, and many other players choose the Welsh even when they have offers from higher tiers.
The whole thing was driven by Deadpool and his friend, who fell in love with football during the covid.
When Wrexham returned to the football league last season after 15 years of wandering in the semi-amateur level, the club’s popularity skyrocketed again.
This was due to a fantastic race for the title with another historic club, Notts County, and the arrival of legendary goalkeeper Ben Foster, as well as the release of the Welcome to Wrexham series - the media campaign for this story was exemplary.
However, hardly anyone expected that the club would take League Two by storm and win promotion to League One right away!
Guys, like this video if you are happy for Wrexham and are interested in the team’s progress from time to time. Now we will tell you about another miracle from the Welsh.
Season to remember
As Wrexham prepared for the start of the season in League Two, there was excitement around the club and within it.
The team was reinforced by James McClean, who has over 150 Premier League appearances and over 100 matches for the Irish national team, as well as forward Steven Fletcher, who scored over 50 goals in the EPL. Both veterans have been called upon to add experience to the team and set higher standards of work.
The biggest thing with James is his mentality and his desire to win and be at his best every week and that can be infectious around the group, – praised 34-year-old McClean, the team’s coach Phil Parkinson.
We also note the signing of Arsenal goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo on loan.
Wrexham even had a tour of the United States before the start of the season, where they played friendlies against Manchester United and Chelsea. Everything seemed to be in place for a victorious start to the season.
However, reality, as it often happens, quickly landed the team. Back in the training camp, the team’s top scorer, Paul Mullin, who netted 25 goals last season, was injured and out for the first 6 rounds.
Then, in the first 4 matches in League Two, Wrexham conceded 13 goals, winning only one game, while star goalkeeper Ben Foster decided he had seen enough and retired.
Interestingly, Foster’s last match was a 5-5 draw against Swindon Town. While for the 40-year-old goalkeeper, 5 conceded goals were the final call that it was time to quit football, for Wrexham, this game became the starting point. Until the 90th minute, the Welsh were losing 3-5, but two goals in stoppage time earned the team a draw, which inspired everyone.
They scored their fifth but even then I felt there’s always a chance because the lads will never, ever give in. If you pull on a Wrexham shirt, that is a requirement, – said the manager Phil Parkinson.
Once the team got through the turbulent start of the season and adapted to the new level, things started to look up. Starting from the 13th round, when the team broke into the playoff zone for promotion to League One, the Red Dragons never left it.
Moreover, in the match of the 44th round, Wrexham defeated Forest Green 6-0 and guaranteed themselves automatic promotion to a higher division two rounds before the end of the season. Emotions were running high at the stadium, and of course, the traditional pitch invasion happened.
A few years ago, if you told me I would be crying tears of joy over a football match taking place in North Wales, you would be Rob McElhenney. Congrats to Wrexham and to my co-chairman in crime. Double up the town!
