Day courted controversy when spotted drinking alcohol in the stands, but thoroughly enjoyed his trip to experience a different brand of football to the one that American audiences are most accustomed to. He was given a first-hand look at what Reynolds and McElhenney have taken on in Britain, and the success that they have enjoyed at Wrexham AFC and in the wider community.

Day said on the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary after seeing the Red Dragons move a step closer to wrapping up their record-breaking promotion back into the Football League: “A lot of this talking on TV, but I just wanted to take a second to say how amazing this was from an outside standpoint, to come in here and see what you’ve done with this team and for this town. I wept openly. I never f*cking cry. I’m very proud of you guys.”

Reynolds and McElhenney have invested financially and emotionally in Wrexham – experiencing a number of highs and lows along the way – and are hoping to see Phil Parkinson’s side bounce straight up into League One this season.
