Paul competed in 5 successive Paralympic Games and on each occasion won at least one medal. Paul became involved in disability swimming and table tennis as a pupil at Glenwood High School in Glenrothes.

Paul’s PE Teacher Dave Kerr was enormously supportive during his school years. Brittle bones (orthogenesis imperfecta) caused him lots of pain and trauma at high school because of the many breaks that he experienced. Undaunted by successive periods in plaster, Paul spent many a lunch hour developing his swimming skills or improving his ability as a table tennis player.

Paul was a key member of the British team throughout the 80’s and 90’s. Paul was recognised for his contribution to swimming by the award of the MBE and he still gives so much of his leisure time back to disability sport as the Treasurer of Disability Sport Fife.

Paul competed throughout his career for Glenrothes Amateur Swimming Club and was coached by Drew Young and Eddie Campbell. Paul is one of the most highly respected sportsmen in the country and renowned for being an outstanding competitor on the big occasion.
