Wrexham AFC have insisted Paul Mullin will not be permitted to wear a pair of custom-made boots emblazoned with an expletive-laden anti-Conservative Party slogan.
Star striker Mullin, who hails from Merseyside, revealed the design on his Instagram on Monday evening, with the boots carrying a silhouette of the Liverpool skyline in tribute to Scouse musician Jamie Webster, as well as his current shirt number with the Reds, 'Mullin 10'.
However, the feature that caused the biggest stir was the slogan 'F*** the Tories', which is emblazoned across the outside of the left boot.
