(You need Real Player to listen to this. Click here to find out more)

"He went through the horrors of World War One, before becoming a miner, but in spite of this background, he was fascinated with dance..."

Paul lives in Kidsgrove, Stoke on Trent with his wife and their three children. He works for the Corps of Commissionaires and loves all things sporting - particularly football.

My Grandfather's headstone is a cause of anger and upset to both my father and myself. He was a very impressive man who deserved great respect, but was denied that respect in death. I told this story becaues of the lasting effect he's had on my life.
