Biography

Signed from Drumchapel Amateurs by Chelsea manager Tommy Docherty in August 1967. Made his Chelsea debut one month later, September 1967, aged only 17 years old, against Southampton. Chelsea lost 6-2 at Stamford Bridge, the goalscorers were all legends of the game. Peter Osgood scored the two Chelsea goals, Ron Davies the Welsh internationalist scored four (4) and Martin Chivers later of Spurs and England scored the other two Southampton goals. This was his one and only Chelsea appearance. He had played with Danny Gray in the same Chelsea Youth Team.

Paul signed for Clydebank before the start of the 1968/69 season. He was at that time part of the " Bankie Babes " a young exciting team of talent. Paul was an inside forward, who Tommy Docherty saw as a competitive midfielder. However during his two years as a Bankie his talent was never given the chance to develop. He became a utility man playing in various positions, including right back, centre half, centre forward, right winger. He left Clydebank before the start of the 1970/71 league season. He had been released by Chelsea on medical grounds due to blood pressure issues. He ended up playing junior football with Petershill. Over fifty years after his debut, he still holds the record as the youngest Chelsea centre forward.
