Sir Paul Dussis

Sir Paul Dussis (playing career: WC7Q to WC11Q - 16 years; non-playing career: WC12Q to WC20 - 34 years; lived 66 years) was one of two well-known Liverpool England individuals in the sporting world, both as a player and non-player in the World Cup, the other being Caddy Cannon. He started at 16 when he was called up to the team for the World Cup 6 qualifiers by the then-OILEFF ([Official International-Liverpool England Football Federation, now the Football Association of Liverpool England). He went on to win the 8th World Cup under Sir Jim Whites, and picked up an additional third-place medal at World Cup 9. Three years after retiring from the playing game, he took over the national team as manager, trying to revitalise the 'Philosophers' back into their old class and form. He failed, and was subsequently sacked. He then bought over Liverpool England' then-top football club, Orean United and signed the league's first ever Rejistanian player, Syku Lyku. Soon after, he was appointed FALE chairman, achieving a fourth-placed finish at World Cup 17. He held this position until right before his death during WC20. He was knighted posthumously through a Parliamentary vote shortly before the World Cup 22 final.
