Following the Disney+ debut of Welcome to Wrexham’s fifth episode last week, here are the five things we learned.
Early this month, the critically acclaimed documentary that chronicled the highs and lows of Wrexham AFC under the management of Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds made a comeback to theaters.
Following the publication of the most recent episode of the popular docuseries, “Temporary,” on Friday, May 24, these are the five things we discovered:
1. Arthur Massey – Wrexham’s oldest supporter, Arthur, celebrates his 100th birthday with the club at the beginning and end of episode five.
Rob went to see Arthur in person to wish him luck on reaching the milestone, and during a celebration event, the co-chairman wrote a really moving note.
2. Kop – In episode five, viewers are given a glimpse inside the ideas and evolution of the Kop stand.
Humphrey Ker talks about the challenges the club has had to overcome in order to renovate the iconic stand at the SToK Cae Ras.
3. James Jones: The courageous tale of his partner Chloe giving birth to their son Jude 15 weeks ahead of schedule is told by the Wrexham midfielder.
Jude and Chloe had to stay in intensive care as a result, but they quickly recovered and were released from the hospital.
The film makes a strong point—you never know what goes through people’s minds behind closed doors.
