Video shows Wrexham players singing 'F*** the Tories' in McDonalds following historic win

A video shared on social media shows a group of Wrexham AFC players chanting 'F*** the Tories' in McDonalds during the early hours of Sunday morning following their historic win at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday. Their team won promotion back to the Football League for the first time in 15 years. A 3-1 win over Boreham Wood was enough to seal the National League title on a day of high drama and emotion.

Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were overjoyed in the stands as fans poured on to the pitch at the final whistle. The owners were joined by fellow Hollywood star Paul Rudd, who earlier drank with fans at The Turf pub outside the ground.

Top scorer Paul Mullin grabbed the decisive goals that put the home team in front early in the second-half. Wrexham had gone behind after just 45 seconds when Lee Ndlovu's clever finish stunned everyone. Elliot Lee's header calmed the nerves when he equalised on 15 minutes before Wrexham got the job done after the break.

Star man Mullin scored a stunning first after cutting in from out wide before he put the cherry on the cake with a smart finish to make it 3-1. In a video shared on Twitter following the match, Paul Mullin and his fellow team mates were spotted at McDonalds in the early hours of the morning singing an expletive-laden anti-Conservative party chant.

In response to a tweet by Wrexham AFC, celebrating the "Pencampwyr" ('Champions'), one supporter shared a clip of the chanting players, which included Paul Mullin. It comes after in October of last year Wrexham AFC insisted that the Merseyside-born striker was not permitted to wear a pair of custom-made boots emblazoned with the slogan 'F*** the Tories', which was shown across the outside of the left boot ahead of their match against FC Halifax Town.

Following a long campaign to reach the top of the league, Paul Mullin was seen celebrating their win on several occasions on Saturday night. Ahead of his visit to McDonalds, the footballer was captured leading a chorus of fans at the Racecourse Ground.

In a video also shared on Twitter, the Wrexham forward was seen with a microphone as he performed a popular chant to a packed stadium. Later on in an interview with Wrexham AFC, he said that the win was "hard to take it in".

He added: "I'm over the moon for the people, who as a town, they've took to me like I was born here. I absolutely love it here. I love them. I couldn't thank them enough but to repay them tonight, this is unbelievable. We're looking forward to the league's season two now."
