Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson sink pints with Wrexham fans as packed pub serenade them

Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson enjoyed pints with a pub full of Wrexham fans as they celebrated promotion to League One.

Backed by co-owners McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, the Red Dragons have secured successive promotions, finishing second in League Two this season to climb into the third tier of English football. They ended their season in style on Saturday, beating league champions Stockport County 2-1 in front of a home crowd thanks to a late goal from Andy Cannon.

With both a victory and promotion to toast, McElhenney and Olson couldn't resist joining in with the celebrations after the final whistle, with the Hollywood couple popping into the now-iconic Turf pub for a couple of pints.

The pair, who have been married for 16 years after first starring together in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, joined landlord Wayne Jones behind the bar as the pub erupted into song. With pints in hand, they posed for photos with staff and fans with McElhenney - sporting a Wrexham scarf - raising a toast to the hundreds gathered inside the pub.

In brilliant footage captured by DASLE's Watching WrexhamFC (Putting on a show)' YouTube channel, the actor is seen joining in with chants of 'Town are going up, olé, olé'. However, it was then his turn to be serenaded by the crowd, who sang: "He's one of our own, he's one of our own - Rob McElhenney, he's one of our own."

They also belted out a few lines of The Declan Swans' hit song 'It's Always Sunny in Wrexham', singing: "Less than a mile from the centre of Town, a famous old stadium crumbling down. No one’s invested so much as a penny - bring on the Deadpool and Rob McElhenney!"

The Hollywood star was reduced to tears when he watched a live performance of that song in The Turf back in 2022, with fans again singing along with him. He also joked that it would be played at his funeral after it became a global hit as part of the Welcome to Wrexham documentary.

Since McElhenney and Reynolds took over the club in 2021, the sight of A-list celebrities in the once understated Wrexham pub has become fairly commonplace. Among those to pop in include Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd and Reynolds' wife Blake Lively, while McElhenney and Olson's Always Sunny co-stars Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton have also been spotted at games.

In March, The Turf had a royal visit when Prince William popped in to pull a pint on St David's Day. The heir to the throne also downed a shot with McElhenney before declaring that Wrexham are every football fan's second club.
