Paul didn’t figure with the Albion first team too much, making 4 appearances between 14/1/1986 at Ellesmere Port Town & 16/4/1987 at Skelmersdale United. However he was part of the Albion Reserve set up that was run by Terry Dunn & Dave Cox.

Described as having a sweet left foot it was the opposing team that suffered when he was turning out for Lostock Gralam and also Barnton, not to mention his Sunday League teams.

Paul, that was his middle name by the way, was born at the Barony in Nantwich on February 15th 1966 and christened Terence Paul.

For several years he ran his mini cabs business from his Rudheath home before he became ill.

His funeral is taking place on Friday February 8th at the Vale Royal Crematorium at 1pm followed by a reception at the Rudheath Social Club.

The Club send their condolences to all of Paul’s family and friends for their sad loss.
