He had successfully forged a post-football career as a physio, barrister and then a CEO, and his award-winning memoir, \u003ci\u003eThe Boy on the Shed\u003c\/i\u003e, was just about to be published.

This honest, sometimes brutal and frequently funny book tells the story of what happened next.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eProstate cancer\u003c\/i\u003e. It's a phrase that strikes fear into the heart of every man. It's the most common male cancer, but treatable if it's caught early enough. Paul doesn't shy away from describing that treatment. And neither does he hold back on its life-changing consequences     from harrowing surgery, humiliating procedures and excruciating consultations     as he strives to become the man he once was again.\u003cbr\u003eThe mental challenges and psychological impact of living with this acute condition are explored in Paul's revealing and riveting narrative that represents rare male honesty, but this is never a 'poor me' book or not in any way self-pitying.
