Wrexham’s Paul Mullin and James McClean make dig at cancer-stricken King while partying with Rob McElhenney in Vegas
TWO Wrexham stars have made a dig at the cancer-stricken King while partying with Rob McElhenney in Las Vegas.
James McClean, 35, and Paul Mullin, 29, were snapping pics while they boozed with a group of lads celebrating their promotion to League One in Sin City.
