Reynolds and McElhenney have overseen that meteoric rise, but they have enjoyed plenty of assistance along the way – with every dramatic moment being caught on camera for the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ documentary series.

Paul Mullin has earned legend status in North Wales, despite generating transfer talk at present, and Reynolds has found room for the 110-goal star on his Wrexham mountain, alongside record-breaking manager Phil Parkinson.

Club director Shaun Harvey, who has aided Reynolds and McElhenney since day one, is a somewhat surprising choice to complete the Mount Rushmore selection. Reynolds told the podcast: “Phil Parkinson, Rob McElhenney, who does so much more than people realise. Paul Mullin and Shaun Harvey.
“Shaun really, from the jump, was very good about protecting us from ourselves, which you need sometimes, and really giving us as much information… the dumber the question, it just didn’t bother him. He was very, very patient.”
Reynolds added: “Those are my four, but four is not fair. Luke Young, that guy has the heart of a lion and his leadership… his leadership by example, not by words, is what I found to be beautiful.”
