Really sad news - My sincere condolences to his friends and family - RIP Paul

Jesus, I went to school with him. Had some quality laughs in classes.
What a shock.

A character on and off the field.

Gutted!

mad as a march hair was blairy, but a quality lad RIP mate

Gutted. Live Forever mate.

i remember watching blairy in his leigh playing days,what did he die of keith,rip paul

Shocked, probably because I have not seen him for manbe 5 years.

Played a lot against Paul in our younger years, for a while he was the only goal kicking prop in the cosmos at 11 years old. Though I think it was because he said he was kicking and nobody was brave enough to tell him otherwise.

Joe Atherton was one of his coaches at Leigh Juniors. He used to get sent off nearly every time he played against Leigh Rangers



Shared a few good pints with Blairy, as mad as a wasp and a bloody good lad.

RIP Paul....

Never knew the lad but RIP Paul and my condolences to friends and family.

The Lewis's
Lowton

Some great youngsters from the Leigh Juniors at that time.

Best memory of Paul was in the Academy challenge cup when we played Hull KR. We were never meant to beat them in the memory of man!!





We were hanging on 7-6 in front, and the HKR prop forward was giving the tiring Leigh side a hard time.
What a decision to bring Paul on for his debut!!!






We won 7-6, and the prop didn't last too much longer!!

Nice lad Blairy had some good laughs with him will be sadly missed RIP mate.

I remember Karle Hammond (ex England, Widnes, Saints, Fulbronquins) in our school hall after a national schools cup game saying that when he heard they were playing a school from Leigh, but turned out it wasnt the one Blairy went to (St Peters IIRC) that he was happy he wasnt playing 'against that mad ******' or words to that effect.

Top lad Blairy would do anything for anyone , he also had a unique style on the rugby field and wouldn't of worn a skull cap even if they were around in those days . Hope the church is stacked out on friday in celebration of his life .

R.I.P. Paul
