SPARC is a mental health charity providing therapy, support and social networks for adults 18+ who experience mental health difficulties. A local boy and a lifelong City fan, he was acclaimed as one of the most promising young talents to have ever worn the sky blue shirt. His glittering career, however, was tragically cut short followi

ng a serious injury from which he never recovered. After a decade spent working as a sports
physiotherapist, Paul rejoined his old club in April 2010, taking on the role of Ambassador for Manchester City in the Community. In 2013 he was recruited by the Premier League as a Club Support Manager and now works with Academy players and staff at Everton FC, Leeds United FC and Manchester City FC. Paul’s acclaimed autobiography, I’m Not Really Here, was published by Century in 2011.
