Wrexham returned to the Football League after a prolonged stint in the wilderness of non-league last season – as the Hollywood backed club steamrolled the National League.<\/p>\n

And even music legemd Sir Elton John was left so impressed with the feat, he had to pick up the phone and give Ryan Reynolds a call. Speaking to Gary Lineker on Football Focus, Sir Elton said: "I phoned up Ryan when they won, and I just thought it was fantastic!<\/p>\n

"You know, they're on the ride that I was on, it's slightly different because times have changed! But it's no more less exciting. It's so exciting for them, I bet they have more fun doing that than any film they've ever done!"<\/p>\n

Sir Elton was one of the first 'celebrity owners' when he purchased his beloved Watford in 1976. He revealed: "I did a concert here with Rod Stewart to raise money for the club and I become vice-chairman.<\/p>\n

"The chairman was Jim Bonser. He'd had enough of the abuse. I made him an offer he couldn't refuse. I became a director and then chairman. I was so determined to do something other than what I'd been doing, totally different to what I'd been doing."<\/p>\n
