ONE OF Wrexham AFC's star owners has wished a happy birthday to one of the Reds' most loyal supporters.

Rob McElhenney took over at the club alongside friend and fellow actor Ryan Reynolds in February 2021.

Since then, the club has been taken on an incredible journey to date - winning back-to-back promotions and earning worldwide recognition thanks to the Welcome to Wrexham documentary.

And, both Rob and Ryan, have done everything they can to bring the Wrexham community along for the ride with them too.

That has seen them form some unbreakable friendships with some of the club's most loyal fans.

One of those being Millie Tipping, who featured in the documentary, and received a birthday message from Rob this week.
