WREXHAM’S National League title victory last night was a cause for celebration, and for some players, a reason to let loose. However, star striker Paul Mullin and his teammates have come under fire for their post-match activities.
After the match, the team was reportedly spotted at a McDonald’s in Wrexham around 2 am, where they joined in with fans’ chants about the Conservative Party. The chants were vulgar, and Mullin himself has courted controversy in the past for having the phrase “Fk the Tories” inscribed on his bespoke football boots. He was also pictured with a flag that read “Love Mullin, fk Tories” during the post-match celebrations.
Mullin’s anti-Tory stance has made him a hero among Wrexham fans and a symbol of working-class pride. However, his actions and those of his teammates have drawn criticism from some quarters.
The incident has raised questions about the behavior of professional footballers and the use of their platform for political messages. It also highlights the continued division in the UK around political affiliation and the influence of football culture.
Wrexham FC has yet to comment on the incident, but it is likely that the club will face scrutiny in the coming days. For now, the focus remains on the team’s historic promotion to the football league, a momentous occasion for the club and its fans.
