ROB McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have wished Wrexham AFC's oldest fan a very happy 100th birthday. 

Life-long Reds fan Arthur Massey celebrated the milestone on Thursday. He featured in the docuseries Welcome to Wrexham and met His Majesty the King, during his visit to Wrexham in December, 2022. 

During the King's visit, Arthur spoke about the current excitement surrounding the football club since the takeover of Rob and co-owner Ryan Reynolds. 

Last year, Rob McElhenney sent Arthur a touching message for his 99th birthday, posting on X (formerly Twitter), saying: "Happy Birthday Arthur!!! Let’s celebrate 100 in the EFL!!!!"

And on Thursday, Arthur's daughter, Julie, posted a screenshot of last year's post - accompanied with: "Well Rob you were right! Happy 100th birthday Dad. Can we make it back-to-back promotions?"

Star club co-owner, Ryan Reynolds, also wished Arthur a happy birthday. He posted: Congratulations, Arthur! 100 is the new 98! Happy Birthday, young man", accompanied with Wales flags and heart emojis.
