My Wrexham Story: The Inspirational Autobiography From The Beloved Football Hero

Product Information

The National League club described Mullin’s fashion statement as an “unwelcome distraction” and quickly put their foot down to stop him from lacing up his boots. The increased recognition has propelled Parkinson and his squad to a point where they found themselves listening to a rendition of The Star Spangled Banner while witnessing a fighter jet flyover as the anthem hit the climatic line of “O’er the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave”. Sarah Atherton, the Conservative MP for Wrexham, said she was grateful for the club’s swift response and that a line had been drawn under the matter. After this unwelcome distraction, the club hopes the focus remains on our objectives of gaining promotion on the field and creating community benefit off it, in which Paul Mullin will continue to play a significant part,” the club statement concluded. The memoir from Wrexham's star player, Paul Mullin, as featured in Welcome to Wrexham, a Disney+ documentary series by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

In July 2021, shortly after being named League Two's Player of the Season and Golden Boot, Paul Mullin sent shockwaves through the EFL by taking a downwards move to National League team, Wrexham AFC. Each of the Wrexham goals was met with a salvo of fireworks and United received the same treatment on the stroke of half-time, when the right-back, Marco Jurado, volleyed past Ben Foster. From here tempers cooled and the invader ran on, swerving security momentarily before being wrestled to the ground.But the promotion chasers, owned by the Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, moved swiftly to stamp out the former Morecambe, Tranmere and Cambridge forward’s custom-made boots. Having been shown a yellow card (the first of a total of four in the match), the 23-year-old was booed and jeers subsequently studded every touch of the ball of the former Southend keeper. Off the pitch, Mullin is a patron for Wrexham-based autism charity, YourSpace, and stars in the Disney+ documentary series Welcome to Wrexham. When Tom lands the best job of his life at Seattle’s beloved home-town bank, he figures he’s secured a front row seat at the high-risk/high-reward chess match for dominance of the lucrative sub-prime mortgage market. The former Cambridge striker is in hot water with Wrexham – but Max Rushden has backed Mullin on social media.

Here for the first time, Mullin tells his own story: his roots in Liverpool, the highs and lows of English football's promotion race, lessons learnt from his young son's Autism diagnosis, and what happens when Hollywood comes knocking at your door. Starting out as a young lad from Liverpool with a love of football and a dream – I feel privileged to be able to share my experiences, both in life and on the pitch. An evening at San Diego’s Snapdragon Stadium billed as a fantasy football encounter between a young Manchester United side and Wrexham was bad-tempered and aggressive, featuring a slew of yellow cards, one red, a serious injury to Paul Mullin, a half-naked pitch invader and victory for Phil Parkinson’s League Two team.

Parkinson sent out an XI that beyond Foster, a former United and England No 1, featured Mullin, Tozer, Lee and other journeymen. We join Paul in expressing our gratitude for the opportunity through Penguin and we hope that everyone enjoys learning about his remarkable story as much as we have.

Seven minutes passed before Mullin, still breathing via the mask, was able to stagger off, and a night that began as the latest chapter in the fairytale story of Wrexham under their Hollywood A-lister owners, Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, curdled for Mullin, who reportedly suffered a punctured lung. When Sam Dalby steered beyond Radek Vitek in the second half to make it 3-1 to Wrexham, substitute beat substitute – each had come on after the break – and the record 34,248 crowd had witnessed a contest in which United were run ragged for swathes. If there’s one lesson I’ve learnt better than any throughout my career, it’s the importance of being present at every stage. The club has adopted a neutral position on many matters with a political dimension and intends to continue to do so going forward.Paul is a star, both on and off the pitch, and I can’t wait for fans to read more about his life later this year. In the 2021 English Football League, Mullin dropped down into non-League football to sign for National League Wrexham, despite finishing the 2020/21 season as League Two’s Golden Boot winner and player of the season. In My Wrexham Story, the publisher said: "Mullin tells his own story: his roots in Liverpool, the highs and lows of English football’s promotion race, lessons learnt from his young son’s autism diagnosis, and what happens when Hollywood comes knocking at your door. The "Detailed stats" tab shows a player's total appearances, goals, cards and cumulative minutes of play for each competition, and indicates the season in which it occurred.

A debut novel from an award-winning playwright, inspired by his years working in the executive suite of the nation’slargest home loans bank during the run up to the Great Mortgage Meltdown. He and his defence would want to custard pie themselves due to how they allowed Wrexham to score their first two goals. Bearing witness to all this was McElhenney, resplendent in white slacks, white shoes, and a black and green print silk shirt. The American actor, along with Reynolds, has transformed the world’s third oldest club (founded in 1864) via the kind of magic that sport can supply.Binnion could be pleased with how his academy products mixed it with seasoned professionals but less so if competitiveness became a loss of control.
