Mullin recently surpassed the 40-goal mark that was set by the club legend, Tommy Bamford. The Welsh striker may have surpassed one milestone. However, there’s still a lot to achieve, as Bamford scored 51 goals for Wrexham.
Either way, the player is still close to breaking the 89-year-old record, as he is just two goals away from breaking Bamford’s other record of 45. Moreover, he can achieve sheer excellence if he is able to score more, as he can also break Gary Bennett’s record of 47. However, this isn’t what Mullin has in mind.
