I’m a Wrexham star who turned up to dinner with Rob McElhenney BLADDERED – I don’t even remember what I ate

PAUL MULLIN admits celebrating Wrexham’s promotion so hard that he turned up to dinner with co-owner Rob McElhenney DRUNK.
The striker netted 38 goals in 46 games as Wrexham won the National League title last season to seal their EFL return.
Mullin and his jubilant team-mates were then treated to an epic holiday in Las Vegas by the Welsh club’s Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and McElhenney.
The celebs joined Phil Parkinson’s stars in Sin City for a party worthy of blockbuster movie The Hangover.
However, Mullin got so wrapped up in the occasion that he forgot about an important date with McElhenney.
The creator of hit comedy ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ had invited Mullin out for dinner with his wife Kaitlin Olson – another star of the Netflix show.

But the forward instead got side-tracked as he watched UFC at a high-rollers bar with team-mate Liam McAlinden.
And despite finally remembering about the meal, Mullin confesses he was so drunk that he couldn’t even remember afterwards.
The ace wrote in his new autobiography ‘My Wrexham Story’: "Me and Liam [McAlinden] wanted to watch the UFC. We were just about to walk into a hotel with a TV when a security guard stopped us.
"‘Private bar,’ he told us, ‘three hundred dollars minimum spend.’

"Another reminder that we weren’t in Wrexham now. ‘Watch this,’ I told Liam. I got $40 out and placed it in the bloke’s hand. And so there we were, sat in this high-rollers hang-out.
“The other punters pretty quickly twigged us as being off Welcome to Wrexham and we were having a very nice time, chatting away in our swim shorts, when suddenly we remembered – ‘S**t! We’re meant to be having dinner with Rob and Kaitlin!'
"We rushed back to the hotel and got changed pronto. But when we walked into the restaurant, nothing could disguise a very obvious fact: we were bladdered and very late.
“I’ve little memory of that meal – who knows what we ate? – but somehow I still made it to another nightclub, this time where they’d made big cakes in the shape of the National League trophy."
