Paul Shaw [national], GBR

He began playing wheelchair rugby in 2011 at the Marauders club in Sheffield, England. (gbwr.org.uk, 2015)

While undergoing rehabilitation at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in England, he was introduced to the sport by Sarah Leighton, a Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby [GBWR] classifier and physiotherapist. "I'd never played rugby before my injury and was more into individual sports such as cycling and running. But having been a firefighter I loved the team environment and rugby fulfilled the part of the job that I used to do before my injury, an aspect I missed."
