To promote the recent release of his new book, Bootlegger was in Ty Pawb and WH Smiths doing signing sessions. 

The Wrexham AFC superfan, seemingly friends with everyone that came in, had photos taken and signed copies for those that came into the store.

By day Bootlegger is self-employed as a roofer, a job he admits he fell into as a young man after being sacked from or quitting an array of other jobs.

Speaking when he announced the release of the book, Phillips said he never expected to become a social media star, but that his philosophy has always been: “When life throws any opportunities your way, you need to grab ’em while you can.

"They say ‘God loves a trier’ and I tell you what – I love ’em too. I’ve got a lot of time for anyone who tries to make things happen. I admire anyone that’s got a bit of fire in their belly.”

He added: “In the world we live in today, being different isn’t a bad thing, but I was written off by so many people over the years. I’ll admit I’ve been no angel.

“While I’ve learned the hard way, I’ve got no regrets. I’ve made plenty of mistakes over the years, but let it be known: some mistakes are worth making.”
