Wrexham's squad are celebrating their League One promotion in Las Vegas. Mullin and McClean have a history of anti-Tory and anti-monarchy remarksWrexham stars Paul Mullin and James McClean have made a sick jibe about cancer-stricken King Charles as they party with their club's owner in Las Vegas.
It also comes just weeks after Prince William visited the club's Racecourse ground - with Charles himself meeting owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in 2022. Wrexham's Paul Mullin posted an image of himself with his Irish teammate James McClean with the caption 'and we hate the f***ing king!' The comments made on Instagram appear to have been a reference to an anti-monarchy chant which McClean admitted to singing after his side secured promotion last month.
The Prince of Wales also poured a pint and downed a whisky with McElhenney at The Turf pub next to Wrexham's ground. Writing in his autobiography, 'My Wrexham Story', Mullin complained how the King's visit to the club had disrupted preparations ahead of a big game. A video clip emerged of Mullin in a McDonald's in Wrexham along with some of his team-mates singing 'F***' the Tories'.
Mullin has previously opened up about his desire to be a good parent to his son, who has autism, revealing in an interview earlier this year he 'struggled with the thought of not being good enough as a dad'. 'So then I used it for a greater point and something that I was a lot more passionate about personally because it's got a personal touch to it about my son,' Mullin said.'And, you know, that is something that I'm really passionate about and I talk about all the time. Politics isn't my game, I don't really want to get into that. It's just not for me.
In September 2023, McClean admitted regrets about posting a controversial picture of himself in lockdown 'jokingly' home schooling his children in a balaclava, which was interpreted as a reference to the IRA. He has also been criticised for refusing to wear a poppy during games played across Remembrance weekend, a personal decision he made in 2012, but a stance which saw him booed for it a decade later.
The Welsh outfit sealed their spot in the third tier of English football for the first time in 19 years after finishing second - but agonisingly missed out on the title.
