Wrexham AFC have Hollywood owners, Premier League hopes and TikTok sponsors. But first, Tamworth

Nobody really knows where Wrexham AFC are heading under the control of superstar actors/owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, but all journeys must start somewhere, and 1,193 spectators will be able to say "I was there" on the day this sporting adventure really clicked into gear.

On Saturday, Wrexham were visiting The Lamb, a tiny non-league ground in Tamworth, England, which is as far removed as you can imagine from the showbiz glamour that Wrexham's Hollywood owners have brought to their new team. If Wrexham make it to the English Football League and climb the ladder all the way to the Premier League thanks to the backing (100 percent control, completed from Wrexham Supporters Trust, and a £2m investment in the club) of "Deadpool" star Reynolds and McElhenney, the creator of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," the 5-0 win at The Lamb, a ground nestled between a railway line and a shopping mall, will mark the moment when it all started.
