WREXHAM is the place to be right now with the takeover of the football club and the documentary series about the club and town/city putting it on the map.

From the moment that Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney became co-chairmen of Wrexham AFC, all eyes have been on that part of north Wales.

And with that - and the 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary which aired on Disney last year - has come new fans from across the globe.

People from Canada to Brazil and Uganda to the USA have been proudly wearing the red of Wrexham ever since.

But, how many famous faces do you know that support the club? 

Well, don't worry if you don't know any (aside from Rob and Ryan) as we've put together a list of just a few of them here ...

The comedian and Phoenix Nights star can often be seen Tweeting his support out to Wrexham and has been spotted at the Racecourse on numerous occasions down the years.

Yes, even way before the takeover!

Robbins was a special guest at the club's 150th anniversary celebrations back in 2014.

Hugh Jackman

From comedian to Hollywood A-lister now and Jackman can often be seen enjoying some playful banter with Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds on social media.

The Aussie actor - star of films like Les Miserables and Logan - has previously confessed his love for Wrexham underneath one of Reynolds' Instagram posts.

Could we be seeing him at the Racecourse in future?

Jason Watkins and John Cleese

Two for the price of one this time and it's a lovable actor duo who are big Wrexham fans.

Jason Watkins, who has starred in the likes of 'The Lost Honour of Christopher Jeffries', 'Line of Duty' and 'The Crown' over the years shared a photo on Twitter recently.

It featured Watkins with Monty Python and Fawlty Towers icon John Cleese as the pair were all smiles as they donned their Wrexham shirts.

The actor has previously told the story behind the picture of him and Cleese in their Wrexham shirts - as it was actually taken a few years ago.

Speaking to the Daily Mail at the time, he said: "I worked with John Cleese on the TV series Hold The Sunset. I also told him about my brief flirtation with professional football at Wrexham in the late 1970s – I went to pre-season training twice and played a couple of friendlies in the youth team.

"Two days later he presented me with a Wrexham AFC shirt as a surprise gift, and then he turned up wearing one too."

Will Ferrell

Perhaps one of the most surprising names on the list - but the star of films like Elf, Step Brothers and Anchorman has proven to be a true Red over the last two years.

Ferrell first appeared supporting Wrexham when they played in the FA Trophy final at Wembley in May of last year.

But, he really grabbed the headlines when he actually rocked up in Wrexham itself earlier this year.

He was spotted at the Racecourse and at the Turf pub. Legend!

Emma Corrin

The latest celeb to back the Reds at the Racecourse.

Corrin, who portrayed Princess Diana in the fourth season of Netflix hit The Crown, was in town for Wrexham's huge 3-2 Easter Monday win over Notts County.

Mark Hughes

Current Bradford City manager 'Sparky' appeared at Wembley when Wrexham agonisingly lost the Play-off Final to Newport County in 2013.

The former Wales player and manager was born in Ruabon and has strong links to Wrexham AFC.

He was even linked to the Wrexham manager's job prior to signing on with the Bantams.

Son Heung-min

The Leader:

The Tottenham Hotspur man is said to be a 'massive' Wrexham fan, according to current Reds star Elliot Lee.

The South Korean winger just recently became the first-ever Asian player to score 100 Premier League goals.

Wrexham players previously celebrated a goal by doing Son's trademark celebration.

After the game, when questioned on the celebration, Lee revealed that he'd been told by friends that Son was a big fan of the Reds and they did the celebration to send him a message. 

Lee said: "My friend Tom Lockyer plays for Wales and he was with Ben Davies the other day and Ben Davies said that Sonny for Tottenham is a massive Wrexham fan now."

Jack Whitehall

The Leader:

Comedian and star of 'Bad Education' has previously stated his admiration for Wrexham's rise as a club.

Jack took to Twitter to put himself forward to play the role of the Reds' star striker Paul Mullin should a film about the club ever be produced.

Ruth Dodsworth

No list of famous Reds fans would ever be complete without the lovely Ruth!

Everyone's favourite weather lady can often be seen cheering Wrexham on from the Racecourse stands.

Last year, she marked her 47th birthday with a trip to that FA Trophy final in Wembley, which sadly ended in defeat!

Ruth became a fan through her husband who is a life-long supporter of Wrexham.
