Paul Mullin is undoubtedly a busier man than last time he was a League One player.
The Wrexham striker laughs when it is put to him that he probably has a few more extra-curricular activities than when he played for Tranmere in the third tier in 2020.
“My life has changed a lot over the last three years and I haven’t really stopped for a moment to look back on any of it,” he tells Sky Sports.
“I didn’t really stop to think. I kind of just roll with it.”
When Mullin left Tranmere as a 25-year-old, dropping down a league to play for Cambridge, he could never in a million years have anticipated the global following he would have just a few years later.
But that is what this Wrexham rise has done for so many people and Mullin’s starring role as their chief goalscorer – and big part of the global smash-hit Welcome to Wrexham documentary has pushed him right to the front of it.
He even wrote a book about it.
“Writing it was phenomenal and something I thought about doing since I was a kid,” Mullin says. “But I never thought it would actually happen.
“When I walked into Waterstones and you see it on the shelf, that was a proud moment.
“Writing it was sort of a therapy and then when it came out it was really well received. It helped people get to know me just a little better.
“When I first got a copy, I gave it to my mum.”
This season has been a little different for Mullin and for Wrexham. We start with the striker, who to this point has scored just two goals in 20 appearances. Having said that, one was a quite staggering strike against Blackpool.
He is not worried – mainly because the team are still doing well.
“It makes me laugh to be honest! I’ve probably become a victim of my own success,” he says.
“You have a season where you don’t score as many and all of a sudden people start to panic, like I’ve forgotten how to kick a ball or something.
“But as long as we’re winning games, it doesn’t matter if I score or not. If I didn’t score once more between now and the end of the season and we got promoted, I’d still be happy.
“It’s a privilege to have that expectation because it shows how successful I’ve been before.”
For the team in general, despite their lofty position in League One, there is maybe slightly less expectation of promotion for the first time since the Hollywood takeover.
There is also the small matter of Birmingham City, who are top of the league and have invested heavily themselves to go up. For once, Wrexham are not the biggest fish.
“Nothing really changes, whether there’s expectation or not,” Mullin says. “Or there’s attention or not. It doesn’t change what we do on the training pitch.
“We’ve put ourselves in a really good position. We just have to keep doing what we’re doing and working as hard as we can.
“As the season progresses, our aim is to finish as high up the table as possible. I just want to play as much as I can. Football careers are only short.”
What Wrexham do have this season is a chance to make history. Back-to-back promotions are rare but it has been done in the past.
Back-to-back-to-back? That has never been achieved by any team in the professional English pyramid. Mullin insists it is not something being seriously discussed in the dressing room but the ambition is there.
“No one really talks about it,” he says. “Now and again we’ll mess about and say, ‘imagine we can dream’. We can dream of being a team who can make history. But it’s up to us to go and try to make it happen.
“It’s going to be really difficult but hopefully we can make it a reality.”
If they do make it a reality, will another Las Vegas trip, courtesy of Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, be on the cards?
“That kind of stuff usually gets held back until we’ve achieved something!” Mullin says.
“If we did manage to get that magical third promotion in a row, I’ll be on the phone pretty sharpish to speak about it.
“But there will be nothing until we’ve achieved something.”
