I danced topless with Wrexham aces now I want pint with McElhenney and Reynolds

But it turns out the celebrations didn't stop there for some supporters, with a certain super fan's 'quiet night' turning into another round of wild celebrating… this time with Wrexham's stars themselves!

Widely known online as Bootlegger, Karl Phillips helped put Wrexham on the map long before Hollywood actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds took over the club and sprinkled their celebrity magic dust on the Racecourse.

Unsurprisingly, Phillips - who is famous for his match day vlogs and Twitter posts following the Welsh side around the country - was right in the middle of the promotion celebrations on Saturday.

"I've had better Monday mornings put it that way!" a rather hungover Phillips told talkSPORT Breakfast just two days after Wrexham beat Borehamwood to become champions of the National League.

When asked about getting promoted and returning to League Two for the first time since 2008, Phillips told Ally McCoist: "Oh Ally, I've seen some fantastic games at the Racecourse over the years but nothing comes close to Saturday afternoon. It was unbelievable!"

But it turns out Bootlegger's promotion party didn't end at the game, as he described how what had originally been a meal out to the local on Sunday turned into jumping around topless with his team's players.

"I went for a quiet bit of dinner yesterday to the Fat Boar pub in town and little did I know that the whole team were upstairs having dinner themselves!" he explained.

"There's one of few videos floating around on Twitter but little did I know I'd be dancing on the tables dancing with my top off with Ben Tozer!"

Reflecting on his night with his club's stars, he continued: "[The owners] might have heard of me, but I'm yet to meet them but hopefully one day they'll come for a pint of Bootlegger in my kitchen."

Sure enough, footage of Wrexham's captain Tozer dancing around with the social media star topless has emerged on social media since Sunday evening.

Tozer's last appearance on Breakfast saw him labelled as Ryan Reynolds' new step dad. But Laura Woods started by asking the defender how it feels to be promoted to the EFL as he also appeared on the show on Monday.

Still rather croaky from the night before, Tozer said: "It's been incredible.

"The celebrations Saturday epitomised everything that's gone on."

The Wrexham skipper went on to explain how he and his teammates partied until 2am, describing the passion and emotion of the fans he's felt since they were officially promoted at the weekend.

But Woodsy was clearly keen to find out more about Tozer's exchange with Wrexham's super fan, as she asked Tozer what Bootlegger is actually like on a night out.

"What you see is what you get!" Tozer laughed. "He's incredible. We had a good time, let's put it that way."

Wrexham have one final match in the National League on Saturday as they face Torquay United away, marking an end to their 15-year stay in the fifth tier.
