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

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

RIP Paul....

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!! icon_lol.gif icon_lol.gif

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

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. icon_wink.gif

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 .

I'm proud to call myself the sister of Paul Blair.On Sunday I lost my brother,my best friend,my world!!I have just been reading all the lovely messages people have written and it is bringing a lot of comfort to myself and the rest of our family to hear your kind words and fond memories.
He had a heart bigger than anyone I knew,he was a joker,fiercely loyal,daft as a bloo*y brush but most of all a wonderful son,dad and brother.I am remembering all the laughs and smiles we shared,please do the same.Share your stories of him and cherish the memories.He always had an amazing passion for rugby league and I heard many stories about the good times with the lads at rugby and I know there was lots of them.He loved being part of a team,he would do anything for anybody,what a lad!!On behalf of his mum,dad and children please come and celebrate Paul's wonderful life with us on Friday.Remember him....my tough nut xx

[i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q] [b:5a56um9q]George Orwell [/b:5a56um9q] [i:5a56um9q]There are none so blind as those who will not see.
