When Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney walked through the doors of the Racecourse Ground in 2021, they brought Hollywood glamour to a club steeped in working-class grit. But the real masterstroke of their Wrexham project wasn't a camera crew or a documentary deal; it was the appointment of a quiet, methodical football man named Phil Parkinson.

The following season tested that unity in new ways. League Two proved a harsher arena, but Parkinson adapted again, grinding out results and leaning on the old-school virtues of organisation and counter-attacking sharpness. Promotion to League
