Whatever Paul Mullin has cost Wrexham, he has more than repaid it.
The aim is to get back into the Football League and you have a certain amount of money to spend, and they have spent it well.

It has not been plain sailing but now they are 15 minutes from promotion.
At the end of the 2020-21 season Wrexham missed out on the play-offs after defeat on the final day and a year later lost in the semi-finals after narrowly missing out on automatic promotion.
This year they have led the way in one of the most remarkable title races the National League has seen.
Both Wrexham and second-placed Notts County have beaten the previous record points total in the division.
If they hold on here they are back in the Football League after 15 long years away.

Boreham Wood make a mistake, a sliced pass, a poor touch and Paul Mullin is one on one.
The beauty of Paul Mullin is that defenders have no chance of reading what he is going to do because he can go left or right.
He makes a yard to get his shot off and he generates so much power.

Paul Mullin. Had to be. Wrexham must keep their heads now, and not let Boreham Wood control the game as they have been. The Wrexham fans are making a huge noise now, and that will spur the players on big time.

Nervous, Ryan?
Wrexham 2-1 Boreham Wood
When Wrexham were relegated to non-league 15 years ago today it ended an 87-year spell in the Football League.
They are a huge club at this level but have not been able to get out of this league.
Good handling from Ben Foster, meanwhile, snuffs out a Boreham Wood attack.

For the first time this season in this amazing tussle at the top of the table, Wrexham have an unassailable lead - unless Boreham Wood can get a goal back.
It's that close, the end of a 15-year exile from the Football League.
It's been a title race for the ages.

Now the chants have turned to "now you're going to believe us, we're going to win the league".
There's half an hour to go yet.

Wrexham have the ball in the net but the flag was already up for offside.
I'm not sure that was the right call.
"We've got super Paul Mullin," sing the Wrexham fans.

Wrexham are a renowned second-half team.
They just wear you down.

I think I can hear the Racecourse shaking through my headphones.
Paul Mullin, realistically, is a League One-level striker. He has come to Wrexham to be their talisman and may well have just sent them to the Football League.

If that ends up being the goal that sends Wrexham up, there could be no more fitting scorer after the season he has had.

That is Paul Mullin's 44th goal in 49 games this season. Surely none have been better.

That's what having Paul Mullin, a goalscorer in form, in your team does for you.
I have the best seat in the house. As he struck it, I am looking straight down the line of that and the instant he pulls his foot back, you know where that's going.
The finish is exquisite.

If this is the strike that is going to go all around the world then so be it. Paul Mullin picks the ball up on the left flank, drives in-field and whips a sensational strike into the far top corner.
It sends the Racecourse wild. Wrexham have one foot back in the Football League.
