Prince William Cheers for Wrexham: A Royal Pint and Passion for Football
In a delightful twist for football fans, Prince William has revealed his affection for another club beyond Aston Villa.
During a recent visit to Wrexham, the Prince of Wales made a memorable stop at the Turf pub, where he shared a pint with Rob McElheny, one half of the Hollywood duo that owns Wrexham Football Club alongside Ryan Reynolds.
William's visit to the Turf pub was more than just a casual drop-in; it was a chance for him to connect with die-hard supporters and immerse himself in the club's inspiring journey.
As he pulled a pint and bantered with fans, he declared Wrexham as every football fan's second club, a nod to the club's remarkable resurgence under its new ownership.
The prince, a devoted Aston Villa supporter, took a keen interest in the story of Wrexham's revival, which has captivated fans far and wide.
He engaged with local fans about their experiences since McElheny and Reynolds took over, breathing new life into the club and leading it back to the Football League after a 15-year absence.
Praising the achievements of the club, William remarked, “It's a great success story you're building here.
Everything you've started and achieved has been fantastic, so it's exciting.”
His enthusiasm resonated with those present, highlighting the communal spirit of football that unites fans across different clubs.
Interestingly, Ryan Reynolds was unable to join the festivities, as he was busy editing the final installment of the Deadpool film series in the United States.
Nevertheless, McElheny and landlord Wayne Jones ensured that the royal guest experienced the essence of Wrexham's culture.
During his time at the pub, William attempted to pull a pint of the establishment's famous Modri beer.
