Will Ferrell popping up at football around UK as he sips pints and delights fans
Football fans have been delighted as Hollywood star Will Ferrell keeps popping at matches over the UK.
The comedy legend, 55, posed for photos with Mo Salah and Jack Grealish, enjoyed a pint with Wrexham AFC fans and joined Gary Neville on Sky Sports as he watched four matches in six days with friends.
The Elf star's first match was Wrexham's game against Wealdstone in the National League on Saturday, and Will enjoyed a pre-match pint with fans at a local pub.
Spotted having a drink in The Turf, a beloved pub next to the Racecourse Ground, fans caught a glimpse of the American star, who's also a co-owner of Los Angeles FC (LAFC) back in the United States.
