WREXHAM AFC star Paul Mullin has given a fan both a gift and a memory to last a lifetime during the club's pre-season in Spain.
The Reds have been training and competing in friendlies at the Hotel Golf Campoamor in Alicante over the past week.
Phil Parkinson's men lost out 2-0 to CD Leganes on Thursday (July 21) before holding newly-promoted Premier League side Nottingham Forest's under 21's to a 1-1 draw two days later.
Wrexham supporters have been out in force following the Reds abroad and one in particular was left with a long-lasting souvenir.

During a training session held on Tuesday (July 19), Martin Owen lent a helping hand to Mullin, who was the club's top scorer in his debut campaign in 2021/22.
Martin, who lives near the training camp in Alicante, said: "He had a blister and cut a piece out the back of his boot. Then I got to keep that piece as a souvenir. Then Mullin said I could have the boots Saturday after the game (v Forest)."
But, after heading to the match and realising Mullin wasn't in the squad, Martin thought that this would not be the case. However, the star striker had other ideas.
Martin added: "I got to the game and there was no sign of him, as he had a bit of a niggle. I was a bit gutted.
"But, he turned up after the game with the boots, looking for me. What a guy!"
PICS BY MARTIN OWEN show Mullin signing the boots and the finished product now owned by Martin.
Martin is now the proud owner of the pair of Nike Mercurial boots, which Mullin also signed for him.
Mullin, 27, is already a firm fans favourite at the Racecourse having scored 28 National League goals alone in his debut season.
The prolific forward signed for the Reds from Cambridge United this time last year.
