Ryan Reynolds dedicates urinal to Wrexham co-owner Rob McElhenney for his birthday
ACTOR Ryan Reynolds took the pee out of his Wrexham FC co-owner – by dedicating a urinal to him.
The Deadpool star unveiled a plaque bearing fellow actor Rob McElhenney’s face to mark his 45th birthday on Thursday.
It was placed above a loo at the Welsh non-league club’s Racecourse Ground.
Posting a video inside a bathroom block at the stadium, Ryan, 45, says solemnly: “Today we commemorate a man.
“Not just any man – a man that…”
A toilet then flushes and a man comes out of a cubicle before quickly leaving, with Reynolds saying: “Up the Town. Not gonna wash your hands? OK.”

With dramatic music playing, the Hollywood star goes on: “Today we celebrate Mr Co-Chairman, Robert Lucinda McElhenney, with this memorial.”
Reynolds then snips the red ribbon and pops a bottle of champagne to celebrate.
The gold plaque read: “This urinal is dedicated to Robert McElhenney on his birthday – April 14.
“With love from Wrexham AFC, paid for by Ryan Reynolds.”
Reynolds and McElhenney — who stars in long-running US sitcom It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia — took over the National League club last February, and immediately pumped £2million into it.

McElhenney previously told how the community was a big part in their decision.
He said: “It was about how much I recognised and identified with the people in the stands.

“What they see and feel in Wrexham is the same as what we do.”
In February they forked out on 365 gin and tonics for fans to mark a year since their takeover.
