These movies continue to inspire him, reminding him of the power of determination and integrity.

Paul hates injustice. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman were superb in the Shawshank Redemption. The way Tim gets his revenge over the Governor is legendary. I love Kevin Costner, and the Field of Dreams inspires me. ‘Build it and they will come’and it’s true.

Best TV Series: ‘Foyles War’

‘Foyles War’ stands out as Paul’s favourite TV series, largely owing to the stellar performance of

Michael Kitchen. The rich narratives, set against the backdrop of historical events, resonate with Paul’s love for deeply woven stories and his admiration for well-executed performances.

Greatest Moment: England winning the 2003 Rugby World Cup

Best Horse: Frankel (Flat) and Denman (Jumps)

In the world of equestrian sports, Frankel and Denman stand as symbols of excellence for Paul. Watching these equine athletes in their element, be it on the flat or over jumps, has been a source of thrill and excitement. Their speed, agility, and strength mirror the qualities Paul values and cultivates within his team.

Best Comedy Series: ‘Father Ted’ and ‘The Fast Show’

Laughter, they say, is the best stress-buster, and Paul finds his dose of humour in ‘Father Ted’ and ‘The Fast Show’. These comedy series, with their wit, satire, and relatable humour, have often provided him with much-needed comic relief amidst the daily rigors of work.

Happiest Moment: Sitting in his seat at The Rec

For Paul, happiness is found in simple pleasures, like sitting in his seat at The Rec, soaking in the atmosphere, enjoying the camaraderie of fellow fans, and watching his favourite team play. These moments serve as a reminder of the joy found in community, shared passions, and the simple act of being present.
