'F*** the Tories!' Wrexham player's new boots get Ryan Reynolds seal of approval

Wrexham footballer Paul Mullin has done his talking with his feet by revealing an explicit message to the Conservative party on his new custom-made boots.

Mullin, who hails from Liverpool, is a cult hero at The Racecourse, and his latest post on Instagram is likely to cement that status with some.

On the day Rishi Sunak was confirmed as the new Prime Minister, Mullin nailed his political colours to the mast.

Posting a picture of his new Nike Mercurial Air Zoom togs, the new boots carry the message "F*** the Tories!" alongside "Mullin10", his shirt number for Wrexham.

The boots, made by Wrexham-based Zebra Customs, also carries a tribute to Scouser musician Jamie Webster and his hometown of Liverpool, with the city's skyline emblazoned on the side.

Writing on Instagram, the striker said: "Unreal job @zebracustoms little @jamiewebstermusic tribute."

Wrexham's famous owners, US actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have embraced Mullin since their time in Welsh football, frequently tagging him in their social media posts as their love for the club and country of Wales grows by the day.

Indeed Reynolds "liked" Mullins' post of the new boots with the explicit message on the side, seemingly getting his seal of approval.

Speaking on the owners, Mullin said: "It was a bit strange at first, getting used to Hollywood movie stars being about but they are genuine people and we love working for them. Since they have taken over the club, they have galvanised the town.

"They gave everyone a real lift, at the club and around the community. I think that has been shown in the documentary. They have taken the club to new heights."
