You never semed to let your head go down and showed amazing bravery and spirit by carrying on with proffesionalism and a smile on your face through all of what you must have been going through.

When you daughter hears about her daddy and how brave he was she will be a very proud little girl.

I was gutted to hear the news that Paul has died - i for one always thought he was survive. My thoughts go out to his family. Its such a loss to them and to snooker and sport in general. I can't imagine what his wife and parents are going through. RIP Paul.

A sad loss

I too was shocked to hear of Paul's passing away on Monday - it will be a loss not only to all that knew him but to the sport aswell, just as it was when Darren Clarke lost his wife Heather.

My father lost his battle against a brain tumour 20 years ago on the 31st of this month.

Rest in peace Paul.

I believed that, if anyone would win this battle, Paul would be it. He always seemed so optimistic, and as soon as he was feeling up to it, he returned to the table. It was a pleasure to watch him play snooker like he was really enjoying it, always fighting to the last ball. Like he did against this desease. It's such a pity he lost his last match.

I can't imagine what his family's going through right now. I just hope they can get through it, somehow.

Life is fucking unfair.
