Wrexham striker Paul Mullin has been advised he can not put on his new boots, which featured an X-rated message for the Conservatives.
Mullin had posted a picture to his 25,000 followers on Instagram of the boots, with ‘f*** the Tories’ printed on the aspect.
But the National League promotion chasers, owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, moved swiftly to ban them.
The photograph stays on his web page.
An announcement from Wrexham stated the boots “will not be worn tonight or in any other Wrexham AFC fixture” and the photographs have been posted “without our knowledge or approval”.
“For the record, the pictures wouldn’t have been permitted to be taken, had we known, and the issue will be dealt with privately by the club.
“The membership has adopted a impartial place on many issues with a political dimension, and intends to proceed to take action going ahead.”

The membership acknowledged “everyone is entitled to their own opinion”, however that “a person view can’t be pretty attributed, because the view of everybody or the membership itself. There isn’t any extra outstanding instance of this than the truth that the MP for the constituency inside which the membership is discovered, is a Conservative seat.
“After this unwelcome distraction, the club hopes the focus remains on our objectives of gaining promotion on the field and creating community benefit off it, in which Paul Mullin will continue to play a significant part.”
Deadpool actor Reynolds and his pal Rob McElhenney, creator and star of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, took 100% management of the Welsh membership, referred to as the Red Dragons, from the Wrexham Supporters’ Trust (WST) in February final yr, after the bid was authorized by followers, and have invested £2m.
