Rob McElhenney's wife Kaitlin Olson jokingly claims 'Welcome to Wrexham' Emmy award is now hers as Red Dragons co-owner responds with Paul Mullin animation

With a sparkling new Emmy award for Welcome to Wrexham sitting proudly on the mantelpiece at Olson and McElhenney's Hollywood home, the actress took to social media to jokingly post that she was going to add it to her 'mood board'.

Her husband playfully reposted her claim, inventively adding an animation of striker Paul Mullin applauding to the story.

Olson posted to Instagram: "Rob McElhenney brought me home a trinket for my vision board," alongside a close up of the award.

McElhenney shot back, replying and adding in the Dragon's talismanic forward clapping along with a dancing Emmy award graphic.

The first series of the popular documentary scooped five Emmys from six nominations at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday. Wrexham co-owner Ryan Reynolds accepted the awards dressed as his best-known character Deadpool from the Marvel series.

The awards mark Hollywood recognition for the documentary that has won many fans for its tender takes on the lives of Wrexham fans and staff.

Already commissioned for a third series, the documentary goes from strength to strength charting what owners and fans hope is a successful return to the Football League and a second-consecutive promotion. Wrexham are sitting in the League Two automatic promotion places after 25 games, with a home fixture against AFC Wimbledon up next on Saturday.
