No other individual has had the privilege of working at Newcastle United in the capacity that Paul Ferris once did: as a player between 1981 and 1986, physiotherapist between 1993 and 2003, and finally as a key member of Alan Shearer’s management team in 2009. This is a light-hearted, often hilarious retelling of Paul’s unbelievable stories.
Paul Ferris is a Northern Irish former footballer, physiotherapist for Newcastle United, barrister and author. His first book, The Boy on the Shed, was a critically acclaimed bestseller and his second book, The Magic in the Tin, detailed his journey through prostate cancer. Paul is the CEO of Speedflex, a successful health and fitness business.
