Wearing the iconic Netherlands jersey from Euro 1988, the Red Dragons chief appeared in a sketch for the shop's social media account, in which he dropped in to make a purchase, saying to the cashier: "Thank you, enjoy your shift!"

When the employee replied: "You too," McElhenney spun around in shock and was put to work.

McElhenney, 47, has become a famous figure in football since he and Ryan Reynolds purchased Wrexham in 2020, bringing worldwide fame to the club thanks to their media savvy and ability to bring in sponsorship and partnerships with huge companies, as well as creating the documentary series.
