THIS is the moment Wrexham AFC co-owner Rob McElhenney wipes away a tear as a popular band performs a song about him live in front of him at a local pub.
Wrexham as a whole has been buzzing ever since the takeover of the football club by Rob and fellow owner Ryan Reynolds was complete in early 2021.
The popular Welcome to Wrexham series has boosted the club and the community's reputation to unprecedented levels.
And both Rob and Ryan have frequently been spotted in and around the Racecourse too.
Since Saturday (October 22), Rob has been spotted at the likes of Wrexham Lager and the Wrexham Foodbank, where he hailed staff as 'incredible' for the work they do.

Emotional night at the Racecourse as Wrexham AFC pay tribute to Shaun Jones
Last night (Tuesday, October 25), the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star stopped for pictures with fans at the Racecourse as Wrexham beat Halifax Town 3-1.
But his latest Wrexham journey all began on that Saturday with a trip to the Turf where he met locals and pub landlord Wayne Jones on the day Wrexham drew 1-1 away at Boreham Wood.
In the evening, he was serenaded by popular Wrexham band Declan Swans at the pub which lies in the shadow of the Racecourse ground.
They performed their hit 'Always Sunny in Wrexham' live in front of Rob, who couldn't hide his emotions.
The song is a nod to Rob and Ryan's takeover taking the club in the right direction with the chorus going as follows; 'Less than a mile from the centre of town, a famous old stadium was crumbling down, no one invested so much as a penny, so bring on the Deadpool and Rob McElhenney.
