F me - 41 years old!

My thoughts are with his family.

What a real young gentleman he was in his playing days at Warrington, I did some training then with the club secretary and went on to do some youth work for the club and got to know Paul so well. It was sad when he was no longer required at Warrington and rugby league but Munster were glad to have him and I know from a few of the players he was well respected and liked in Ireland and he even carried on his work in his wheel chair, he was only diagnosed last September.

Paul we will miss You! you were a real gent! may you Rest in Peace and it goes without saying condolences to his family and close friends.

Shocking news. RIP Paul.

There appears to be more instances of this occuring with ex players in League and Union which possibly is a result of hard pitches and heavy hits.
