CoverStory By George Dickie Two Hollywood actors with nominal knowledge and no experience purchase an English football team and go on a journey. The triumphs and pitfalls they encountered along the way is the subject of a docuseries upcoming on FX and Hulu. "Welcome to Wrexham," premiering Wednesday, Aug. 24, follows Ryan Reynolds ("Deadpool") and Rob McEl- henney ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"), the new owners of the Red Dragons of Wrexham, a working class town in North Wales that is home to the third oldest pro - fessional football club in the world. In early 2021, the pair com- pleted the purchase of Wrex- ham, a fifth tier team in the English Football League, in the hopes of restoring it to its former glory after nearly two decades of struggling. The problem is they have no expe- rience running a football team nor working with each other, so there is a learning curve. Luckily, they have a com- petent front office to show them the ropes as well as Humphrey Ker, a Hollywood writer and British football fan who serves as the club's executive director as well as go-between and translator for the American actors and Brit- ish club management. "It's been a great pleasure and also a total nightmare as is the nature of these sorts of things," explains Ker, who pre- viously worked for McElhen- ney as a writer on his Apple TV+ series "Mythic Quest." "They are both incredibly en- thusiastic, very intelligent, very quick to pick up on things, which means I can't really sneak anything past them."
