National League club Wrexham have revealed Paul Mullin will not wear his personalised boots which featured an x-rated message to the Conservative Party.
The Litherland-born forward made the move to the non-league club last summer and romped to the top of the goalscoring charts as Phil Parkinson's side missed out on promotion.
Already a cult-hero in North Wales, he took to social media and revealed his personalised boots ahead of Halifax Town's visit to the Racecourse Ground.

However, his club have moved to condemn the message, confirming the boots will not be worn. In a statement, Wrexham said : "The Club can confirm that the boots revealed by Paul Mullin on social media will not be worn tonight, or in any other Wrexham AFC fixture and that the photographs taken at the Racecourse Ground were done so without our knowledge or approval.
"For the record, the pictures wouldn’t have been permitted to be taken, had we known, and the issue will be dealt with privately by the Club.
"The Club has adopted a neutral position on many matters with a political dimension and intends to continue to do so going forward.
"The Club also acknowledge that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, whether that be employees or supporters but would also highlight that an individual view cannot be fairly attributed, as the view of everyone or the Club itself.
"There is no more prominent example of this than the fact that the MP for the constituency within which the Club is found, is a Conservative seat.
"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."
Mullin spent his formative years in the ranks of Liverpool's academy before he ventured down the football pyramid to forge a professional career. He enjoyed spells at the likes of Morecambe, Tranmere Rovers and Cambridge United - prior to his move to North Wales.
