- The Wrexham co-owners proved they are in a festive mood with the parody post
- McElhenney and Reynolds shared the hilarious photo on their social media
- Emiliano Martinez embarrassed himself! He's a top goalkeeper and Aston Villa fans will love him, but why is he behaving like an idiot? It all starts
The co-owners of Wrexham in Hollywood have proven they are in the party spirit after creating a hilarious mock-up of themselves as iconic band Wham!
Since taking over from the former National League side in 2020, Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds have continued to embrace the culture of the Welsh team and win the hearts of supporters.
And they continue in that vein with their latest stunt, after starring in a hilarious parody of Wham!'s Christmas albums.
McElhenney took over Instagram on Tuesday to share the mock-up with followers, captioning the post “WREXHAM” with a Christmas tree emoji.
In the first photo, the Wrexham co-owners parody Wham!'s single cover 'Last Christmas'. – starring McElhenney as Andrew Ridgeley and Reynolds as George Michael. A Wrexham badge can be seen at the top left of the image.

It was a very different look for the League Two co-owners
Then in the second image, the co-owners' faces were edited onto the musical duo's 'Fantastic' album cover.
The original album cover features the word 'Wham!' is written at the top, but in McElhenney's version it says 'Wrexham'.
Earlier this month, Northampton Town's DJ was forced to apologize after playing Wham's festive hit 'Last Christmas' during a recent match.
Fans are furious that this will have left thousands losing the holiday game 'Whamaggedon' – in which people try to avoid the song for as long as possible.
Once the song is heard, that person is eliminated – hence the frustration of the 7,215 people who attended their match against Portsmouth at Sixfields Stadium on December 2.
“I never knew people took it so seriously,” says Matt Facer, also known as DJ Matty.
“I put a spin on it and thought it would be kind of funny to wipe out 7,000 people who couldn't avoid it, but it's clearly not funny.
'I had a bit of an insult on Twitter, light-heartedly, saying it wasn't a nice thing to do, and apparently that was quite lame from what was said in the stadium.
“So I officially apologize to everyone whose Christmas I ruined.”
