Wrexham soccer club has become one of the sport’s most unlikely talking points in recent years following the takeover of the club by actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.
That interest has been helped by an FX documentary, Welcome to Wrexham, which introduced the Welsh club to an international audience. However, the club has also enjoyed plenty of success on the pitch.
Last week, Wrexham achieved promotion to the Football League and that has led recently retired Wales superstar Gareth Bale to offer his congratulations to McElhenney. In the video, the 33-year-old says: “Hi Rob, just want to congratulate you on your promotion and everything you’re doing at Wrexham.”
It was then shared on Twitter by McElhenney, who wrote: “Hey @GarethBale11 let’s play golf, where I totally won’t spend 4 hours trying to convince you to un-retire for one last magical season.”

Bale is well-known as a huge golf fan, and has been no stranger to a round since his retirement. He took part in the pro-am with World No.1 Jon Rahm before January’s Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, with the Spaniard commenting he “has no business being that good at golf”….
