Reynolds, who acquired the football club with the It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia actor in 2020, posted a video on Twitter showcasing the “memorial” urinal which features a plaque in dedication.

In response on Twitter, McElhenney wrote: “My dream has always been to urinate while staring at a bronzed plaque of my face. Thank you Ryan for making dreams come true.”
The pair are filming their journey with the football club for documentary series Welcome To Wrexham, set to premiere in 2022 on FX. A UK release has yet to be announced.
The series has been ordered for two seasons and will “track Rob and Ryan’s crash course in football club ownership and the inextricably connected fates of a team and a town counting on two actors to bring some serious hope and change to a community that could use it.”
It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia recently concluded its fifteenth season. The show is set to return for three additional seasons, after it was renewed by FX in December 2020.
Reynolds recently reunited with Free Guy director Shawn Levy for The Adam Project, which was released on Netflix last month.
