Scouser who played for Everton and Liverpool delivered Wrexham's Hollywood ending

Paul Mullin fired Wrexham into the Football League with two goals in a promotion-sealing 3-1 win over Boreham Wood.

The Merseyside-born striker scored 47 goals in all competitions this season as the North Wales side ended their non-league exile. Owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Wrexham finished first in the National League and will return to English football's fourth tier for the first time since 2008.

Mullin has been among the club's star men, leading It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor McElhenney to make the bold claim of calling him "one of the greatest football players in the world" during an on-pitch interview at the end of the Boreham Wood game. Here, we look at Mullin's journey from Merseyside to becoming friends with the stars.
