I'd love a pair.

Shame his club Wrexham have banned him from wearing them.

You're right of course. But he's made his point regardless!

A non-league player with his name on his boots is a bit cringe, but at least they're black.

Jacob Rees-Mogg and Andrew Davies (welsh Conservative leader) have both recently visited the racecourse so for the club to come out and say its political views remain impartial is a bit of a kick in the teeth to the fans who will i'm sure be singing the slogan on Mullins boot even longer and louder tonight

A small thing but I love a player still wearing simple black boots. Young Sinclair wore black on Saturday and was possibly the only one to do so.

It's fine for fans to say that kind of stuff but you can't have that kind of message on a footballers boots or shirts. This may be a message you agree with but it opens the door to other messages from people with different political views and so quite rightly they don't allow any of it.

I'm not sure that I'm completely against political statements by athletes - after all, we celebrate Mexico '68. I think, though, that football is a team sport and, if at all possible, individual athletes should not makes statements that might disrupt the collective.

If they still feel the need to make such a statement, then I think it should be slightly more subtle and slightly more intelligent than "F*** THE TORIES".

I’m only now willing to make an exception for orange boots, as long as Chris Willock is wearing them.

Political statements on boots banned. Betting companies across the front of shirts, allowed.

Football is in a terrible mess over all this stuff. Football's governing bodies are political entities and they engage in politics all the time. Having World Cups in Russia and Qatar is a political statement, of far greater effect than having a slogan on your boots. Letting dictatorships splash their names across shirts is a political statement.The only people who are not allowed to bring politics into football are the players. Of course. Because God forbid they should have opinions.

In truth not be the first banned political boot.

These were banned for being anti-Semitic. Although the subsequent Forde report proved that to be absolute bullshit. Political satire eh? … wa-hey!

Indeed. Mullin would have got away with it if he had added something like "Please hate responsibly" beneath the strapline.

"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."

I believe his initial request to his boot supplier was:

"Labour produces marvels for the rich but it produces deprivation for the worker." (Marx, 1867)"

...but he was limited to 13 characters.
