Ferrell would later pose for a team photo with Kenny Jackett’s squad in the dressing room - sparking excitement from supporters about their newest fan.

The ELF star was back in the UK over the weekend - but only to be seen attending Wrexham’s victory over Wealdstone in the National League.

In a hilarious clip on Wrexham’s TikTok page, Ferrell revealed his nerves ahead of the game by saying: ‘Hi, Will Ferrell here. It’s my first time here - where are we again? Wrexham!

‘I’m really excited to see the match and I’m going to be honest, I’m a little nervous.’

The actor was also in attendance for Manchester City’s 3-1 win over Aston Villa on Sunday and made a cameo appearance on Sky Sports ahead of the game.
