Paul FerrisBorn in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, Paul Ferris was a teenage footballing prodigy, becoming Newcastle United's youngest-ever player in 1982 - only for injury to ensure his promise went unfulfilled. He later returned to the club as a physioterapist before earning a Master's degree and beginning a successful quest to qualify as a barrister.
