A little known football club says it is constantly mistaken for its Hollywood star-owned counterpart because of one letter.
Wroxham FC is a village side, near Norwich, Norfolk and plays in the Isthmian North League.
It has found itself linked to the north Wales League Two side Wrexham owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, because of their similar names.

And the club is hoping to emulate Wrexham by launching its own behind-the-scenes documentary on YouTube.
Wroxham recently shared a humorous post to X that read: “Hey Wrexham AFC can you let everyone know that we’re not you?
“We’re Wroxham FC – one letter off, five divisions down and getting mistaken for you daily.
“It’s time to tell our story.
“So Welcome to Wroxham.”

The post played on the award-winning Disney docuseries Welcome to Wrexham.
And fans loved it, as reported by What’s The Jam.
One said: “What’s one vowel and 250 miles between friends?

“Up the Wr_xhams!”
Zander added: “How can you not love these lot?
“Legends, you guys are!”
And Julie Gilbert said: “ITV Wales a few years ago gave a Wroxham score instead of Wrexham one.
“Made me laugh.”
But the club does have one claim to fame.
Former Premier League star and BBC pundit Chris Sutton’s son Ollie currently plays in goal for them.
Announcing its YouTube series, the club said: “You’ve heard of Wrexham FC – the Hollywood-owned underdogs backed by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, soaring up the leagues and capturing hearts worldwide.
“But just one letter away, there’s another club in Norfolk with a very different story to tell.
“Welcome to Wroxham FC, a village football club five divisions down, without the fame, fortune, or Hollywood fairytale.
“Here, it’s about grit, community, and showing up even when the odds are stacked against you.
“This is the series that shows the other side of the underdog story where every victory is hard-won and Cinderella moments don’t come easy.
“Join us for the laughs, the struggles, and the unbreakable spirit of Wroxham FC.”
The whole four-part series will be on YouTube on Sunday (Nov 17).
