'I've scored nearly 200 goals but Liverpool were playing me at left-back - I had no chance' Wrexham's Paul Mullin, now a global name thanks to the 'Welcome to Wrexham' TV series, has had quite the journey from his early days in Liverpool's academy.
After scoring nearly 200 goals during his senior career in the Football League and National League, Mullin reflects on his challenging start in his autobiography 'My Wrexham Story'.
The coach who told me Liverpool were letting me go was Steve Cooper, who would later go on to take Nottingham Forest into the Premier League.".
Mullin has been instrumental in Wrexham's successive promotions from the National League and League Two, netting an impressive 110 goals in 171 appearances across all competitions.
At the time, Cooper ran the youth system at Anfield and even faced a bold prediction from Mullin's mum that he'd one day "regret" letting her son go.
