He was capped three times by Scotland and scored five goals[6] (including four in one match in 1890).[1]
Personal life
Paul also worked as a shipwright at the Glasgow dockyards.[1] He died in 1911, at age 45, from an appendix-related ailment.[1] He was buried in the Western Necropolis in Maryhill.[1]
