It's fair to say that Wrexham are unlike any other non-league team; Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have turned the world's attention towards the Welsh club.
The Hollywood owners have come in and embraced the traditions of the area whilst exponentially growing the club both on and off the pitch.
If you start #WrexhamFX on @Hulu at exactly 2:26:06 AM PT on January 29, you have just enough time to watch the moment a @thebetterbrown sipping @RMcElhenney wishes @Wrexham_AFC fans would sing his name, before switching to @ESPNPlus as we take on @SheffieldUnited at 8:30 AM PT

Wrexham were last in the Football League in 2007-08. During that season they averaged 4,234 fans as they finished rock bottom of League Two and were subsequently relegated to the National League. Their future looked bleak.
Fast forward a decade and the club had continued to regress and memories of the Football League slowly started to fade away. That was until Hollywood had a solution.
I’ve just seen this video of Rob McElhenney being brought to tears as Wrexham fans serenade him for buying their club and it’s made me happy.

The Wrexham boss told reporters: "It's been great to be a part of that and today. The FA Cup, Wrexham, we've got a very good record in terms of some great wins over the years and wherever I go since I've been manager people speak to me about those special days.

"It's not often as a player or manager you've got a game against a club three divisions above in front of 5,000 of your own fans and it's important to savour those moments.
The FA Cup so often conjures up magic and their Fourth Round tie with Sheffield United gives Wrexham the chance to upset the applecart once again.
Take on a side three leagues & 70 teams above us? God I love this game. @wrexham_afc plays @SheffieldUnited live this Sunday on @ESPNPlus pic.twitter.com/ojx69c3vpv

A whopping 70 clubs sit between Wrexham and the Blades in the English football pyramid and yet the possibility of an upset could very well be on the cards.
Regardless of what happens in the FA Cup this weekend, Wrexham have already hit the jackpot. With an ownership that cares deeply about their future and the prospect of promotion at the end of the season, what more could a football fan want?
