"Truth is, Humphrey’s a fantastic bloke," wrote Mullin. "Loved by the players as much as he is by everyone else at the club. In all honesty, Wrexham without Humphrey Ker just wouldn’t be Wrexham. Eton-educated and a seasoned stage performer he might be, but actually he couldn’t be a more natural part of the club – always there wanting to help, making sure the players have got everything they need, just a really positive presence.

"Humphrey’s the complete embodiment of Wrexham FC, a club that might still be battling away at the wrong end of the National League were it not for his little chat with his pal Rob. Humphrey also played a massive role in bringing me to the Racecourse.

"He’s on film putting his job on the line when it comes to assuring the club that signing me will bring promotion. On the night it actually happened, I couldn’t resist. ‘Congratulations,’ I told him, ‘I’ve just saved your job!’"

A famous early scene in sees the softly-spoken Ker introduce himself to the playing staff shortly after Reynolds and McElhenney take control of the club. As Ker leaves the room, the squad chuckle, giving the distinct impression that he's unlikely to fit into the bawdy world of lower-league professional football. But Mullin's glowing words underline how much a part of Wrexham's success Ker is accountable for and how much affection the players have for him.

WHAT NEXT FOR MULLIN AND KER?

Ker will be hoping Mullin's goals can fire Wrexham to a second-consecutive promotion and further underline his bold call to go all out to bring the striker to the Racecourse Ground.
