Former Liverpool and Everton striker Paul Mullin continues to showcase his qualities following a record-breaking season with Wrexham in the National League as he starred on Soccer AM.
The Litherland-born talisman was back in front of cameras on Saturday morning, days after returning from a post-season trip to Las Vegas. Phil Parkinson's side were crowned National League champions in a fiercely contested season with Notts County as they had to amass over 111 points to end their exodus from the Football League.
Wrexham are owned by Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-creator Rob McElhenney who have helped steer them out of the non-league system. Mullin, who also enjoyed a spell at Prenton Park with Tranmere Rovers, has been instrumental in their return to League Two scoring 38 goals in 46 league games after bagging 28 in the last campaign where they fellow short.

On the early morning Sky Sports show, Mullin was a guest as Chesterfield and Notts County fans were present ahead of their National League playoff final at Wembley today.
The 28-year-old stole the show in their John Arne Risse [Arena] helping fans of the Spireites and County to a cash prize of £1000.
During the set of challenges, guests have to score a penalty, a one-on-one, a volley and a free-kick in the allotted time. The two groups fans in attendance then have to answer a double or quits question correctly to choose from a footballer, past or present, or one of the studio guests.
Mullin fired the free-kick off the bin in the top corner before firing into the bottom corner to send both sets of fans with a shared pot of a grand.
"I loved my time at Cambridge and wanted to stay there, it was just a long way from home and when I signed there they offered me two years and I said I only want one as I’d just had a young son and I wanted to be by him," he said on his move from Cambridge United to the Racecourse Ground in North Wales.
"Obviously it was a success and during that summer, I was sat in the house and got a phone call from Rob McElheney while sat in my mum’s garden.
"It came up as Beverly Hills and I was like ‘that’s alright aint it’.
"At that point, I wasn’t thinking I was going to sign for Wrexham and when I got off the phone with him, after speaking to him, I could feel his passion and what they wanted to do with the club.
"I was sceptical at first, but after I got off the phone with Rob and he described his plans for the club and how they want to make the club so successful.
"I got off the phone and didn’t see it that way because he made it very clear they wanted to be successful and they were going to do everything they could to get there and now I’m so grateful I’ve done it."
