Rob McElhenney has revealed that David Beckham will attend the clash between Birmingham and Wrexham on Monday night.
Although the fixture is in League One, it is expected that there some very famous faces will be present at St Andrew’s.
Wrexham co-owner McElhenney is flying directly to the game from the Emmys, while former NFL star Tom Brady is a minority owner in Birmingham and will also be in attendance.
McElhenney said: ‘Directly after the Emmys I’m hopping on a plane and going out to Birmingham, England, to watch Wrexham play Tom Brady’s team, Birmingham City.
‘We’re not legally allowed to bet on the games but we have fun, we have social media and whatnot. I’ll be joining him and I believe Mr David Beckham will be there as well – we should have a good time.’
