Paul Ferris (born 10 July 1965 in Lisburn, Northern Ireland) is a former footballer and physio for Newcastle United.
Biography
In 1981, Ferris signed for Newcastle United from Lisburn Juniors in Northern Ireland and became the club's youngest ever debutant at the time when he appeared aged just 16 years and 294 days. Unfortunately a medial ligament injury meant he played just 13 matches and moved to Barrow F.C., whom he led to win the FA Trophy at Wembley before moving into local non-league football with Gateshead before in 1993 returning as physio under Kevin Keegan.
Ferris left the position as physio in 2006 to pursue a career as barrister but returned to the club (3 April 2009) after becoming a qualified barrister to be part of Alan Shearer's management team.[1]
