Career
History |
Paul signed for The Daggers for a second
time during the 2001 close season having spent two seasons at Hayes. He
started his career at Colchester United and had spells with Chelmsford
City and Grays Athletic before originally signing for Dagenham &
Redbridge in December 1994. In his first spell with the club Paul became a
firm favourite with the fans, particularly during the run to the 1997 FA
Trophy final with several key saves, eventually being named Man of the
Match in the final which was narrowly lost to Woking 1-0 in extra time.
Paul also won international honours in the England semi-pro team during
this time.
Inexplicably Paul decided that a move to
Hayes for Conference football was in his best interests and spent two
seasons at Church Road, watching The Daggers win the Ryman League in
1999/2000 and then finish 3rd in the Conference last season, while Hayes
just survived relegation. He is now back at Victoria Road, but is firmly
number 2 between the sticks to Tony Roberts and his opportunities in the
first team have been limited to minor competitions and cover when Tony
Roberts is unavailable.
