Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney marked their first visit to Wrexham AFC since becoming co-owners by drinking shots of gin in the local pub.

The actors held a press conference at Wrexham’s Racecourse ground on Thursday after arriving in the North Wales town the day before and meeting with supporters in The Turf pub, next to the stadium.
